Hi, I think a rich royal blue would be a warmer fit with the red bricks along with a charcoal dark colored garage door.

Wow, I love how you whipped that color on the picture. Could you try a softer grey color on the paint instead of the bright blue? The blue feels a little countryish.

White house + white shutters. Hanging basket: a nice touch add another basket at arch on left. Narrow porch: white rockers or paint bench wood area white. White urn at left door with fern or shrub. Front landscaping: in bare areas plant many white annuals, trailing geraniums vinca or whatever grows well in your area.

A warm dove gray with white shutters and trim would look inviting and less country. I backless bench under the window would be modern with a good size cobolt blue, red or yellow ceramic pot on each side of the bench planted with ferns. Maybe a bench like this?

Another idea would be a low back non-bulky pair of chairs like in this photo below, with a small table in between:

Thank you everyone for your GREAT ideas. What program do I need to play around with the color (photoshop?).
