cool house.

Since you don't see the amber glass from the front, it does not necessarily need to dictate your color choice for the front/entire house.

I don't see the blue in the photos - but I believe you!

In keeping with a MCM vibe and in consideration of the amber glass which you wish to retain, I would paint the exterior Bennington Gray HC 82 Or Shelburne Buff HC 28 Or Maryville Brown HC 75. All would work well with the existing white trim and railings. All three colors would make a seamless transition to nature which is an important element to respect in MCM design.

Groveraxle comes through again! YEA! Thanks so much!

drdeb - I agree about the drapery on the front window - very distracting. Time to invest in modern simple shades.

What do you think jed?

another vote for reconsidering your wrangled drapery panels.

Well this is fun. I had never posted on Houzz before. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and especially to groveraxle for taking the time to do the sample colors. I really like the third option! I noticed you didn't change the color of the area under the windows. The house changes a bit there and I'm not sure what to do with that area. I'm pretty sure I'll put in black window boxes, but then should the plain area under that be the same color as the house or add a different shade? We're also planning on redoing the stairs in a mix of cedar and stainless steel cabling. As for the drapes, one of the reasons I like them as they are is it provides a bit of privacy, but I can still see out. Plus I thought they softened the look a bit. Not married to it though, so I'm giving it some thought and would be happy to get other thoughts and opinions. I'm adding a pic of the inside for reference.

Glad you're having fun! LOL

You have an eclectic vibe going on. Definitely look at blinds that go from the bottom up. They will give you privacy, light and a view out the top.

What do you mean black window boxes? Will not read MCM.

Cedar and stainless steel cable for stairs sounds awesome and will create enough of a beautiful design statement.

Lastly, and I hope you don't mind me saying, the rectangle wood end table is not working in that grouping. Needs to be relocated.

Your house has a light roof. I like light to mid tone colors with light roofing.

Of course I don't mind you saying. I want honest opinions. There isn't really anywhere else to put the table though.

I was thinking window boxes something like this, although not this deep, either in wood or black, with some succulent type plants in them. Are window boxes not considered MCM?

No window boxes for MCM. And your curtains aren't MCM either. Better to go with shades.

The plain portion under the windows should be a different color than the body of the house. MCM is all about geometry, massing, strong horizontal and vertical elements, defined angles.

And here is a more appropriate front door.

also a stainless cable rail can add great wow factor.
