You said you don't have all the lighting in yet--wait to make a color choice until you do-- people have good intentions but it is really impossible to make the right choice over a computer monitor w/o actually seeing the room's colors in natural and artificial lighting... when you are close to making that choice--get some white tri-fold science boards from Michael's-- paint them two coats with the colors/sheens you are considering and then move them around the room at various times of day and night to see what really WORKS in your room... just try to ensure the colors you use have the same undertones as the rest of the elements-- don't mix a gray paint with a green undertint of your room has no green-- read Maria Killiam's web page-- great advice on making color choices w/varying types of other colors

It's a Tudor with a turret. It's always going to be a Tudor with a turret. Do not paint the stone. This below is the whitest color scheme I have seen for a Tudor. I would definitely keep the black windows. They are perfect with your house. I would keep your color current scheme and invest is some complementary landscaping like you see below. Your lot is really lacking & 86 the globe balls lamp post. The property could look much better with landscape lighting.

No one can comment without seeing the stone. Try posting the picture again.

deb - I agree. Start with trees and include one or two that bloom. The rest of the landscaping can be done in stages - a good nursery can draw up a plan taking the stages into account. Maybe a couple of large pots with flowers on either side of the garage door and the right side of front door. A really nice statement light to the right of the front door and maybe smaller matching ones on either side of garage. Shutters have to go or at least be replaced with the proper size. I personally would paint the brick - I grew up in a saltbox style house in the Chicago area with painted brick which is almost 100 years old and has always been painted without problems. I also lived in a house in New Orleans which had painted brick for at least 30 years, again with no problems. Don't discount the idea. Clearly, the front door needs to be replaced or at least painted in an accent color. Paint the downspouts to match the house, not contrast - please!
