Accent Colors - We have a natural white brick ranch style home. We are looking to put a portico on the front and currently have black shutters and roof, white garage doors and no curb appeal. We don't want to paint the entire home so what colors can we use as accent colors to make our home more "current". I love the slate on the porch and sidewalk but what can we do to bring our boring brick home to life? »

dmoore35216 Same here! When it rains the white brick turns a yellowtail brown. Husband thinks it is a sin to paint natural white brick. I disagree.

painted brick - I would love to paint our brick house, but my husband is adamant that it merely makes a "low maintenance surface into a high maintenance one." Is there any argument I could use against this? »

joycefeldman Wow! You're home is beautiful! I'm thinking of buying a house that is very similar in structure to yours and was wondering if you had pictures or the floorplan of the interior so I could get some ideas?
