You are discussing some pretty big, expensive projects, which done piece-meal could cost you more & not come out well. I would suggest you contact some contractors who have a good reputation for doing renovations, or even an architect to bounce ideas off of before beginning. Your house looks fine to me, except for 2 things which stand out: tree closest to stairs is overgrown & should be pruned back as it is hiding stairs & part of front of house - same for tree at other end. Can they be blended in with current hedge? Ask a landscape designer. I like the brick & the colours. The top half of house needs something to balance it better, and I am not qualified to make suggestion: an architect or general contractor would be..

I've remodeled the bathroom, kitchen, both bedrooms, the living room, I have the porch and the exterior of the house left, then I can finally sell it.

siska13, I can appreciate you having a dislike to the stone but, to say it is out of character for the building? First of all ... The House added that stone look on many exterior components as well as being carried into the interior. So we think the Character is consistent but you have the right to comment that's why we post.

These taupes are looking purple to me on my screen. I like your blueish color. Dunn Edwards has a color Baked Potato. It is a little darker and with more brown (not sure you want that). It would go with many accent colors (the teal sounds fun)! I had a hard time picking colors, but started with the pre picked colors for exteriors at different paint stores. Good luck! It is going to look like a whole new house when you are done!!!
