Is the brick already painted and you're just repainting it?

Mossy green for brick black shutters white trim porch ceiling also white

Looks like there are some water damage around the entry gable.

The brick has a smear on it but I'd like to paint it if possible. I think the water coming off of the gable caused the discoloration. Anybody know how to solve that problem?

Lack of gutters? I don;t see any.

What a lovely house! All your home may need is a power washing and some gutters if you don't have them. If your house has trees hanging over, you may want to get them trimmed a bit to allow light onto the front of your house. That would allow it to dry and not discolor. Much easier that having to repaint the brick every so often. :)

First get the brick cleaned and a gutter installed, then decide on the colors.

i think u can go with yellow.windows shutter painted with red.The best contrast colour of red is yellow.

Pretty house, Johnna,

For a classic colonial facade you might think about sticking with classic palettes. An off white or ivory brick with deep green shutters and a black or red door would be lovely. Take a look at these for examples:

I love the idea of the ivory brick and black trim. How about a green apple color for the door?

carvajal11.... Love, love, love the Apple Green Door Idea!

I have no design experience, just love color and houses. I'm going to place my boring bedroom on here for sure! Good luck with the color chips! Thanks Cabell Designs:)

The porch doesn't seem to be part of the house - not grounded. The first thing I thought is that it needs a second floor balcony with a simple fence across each side of the porch. I like either the (light) moss green with black shutters, or white with black shutters. The front door could be red, green or black.

I love Benjamin Moores "Obelisk" it is a beige with a little less taupe. It looks great with very dark dark green shutters and classic burgundy door. IN addition, you may want to paint the trim a slightly off white (i think i did benjamin moore 024?) I had a design expert help pick it out and absolutely love the combination. I was living in NY at the time and Even painted my second home In indiana the same color!
Indiana address is 915 Perry Lake Drive, Fort wayne Indiana -> google it. I did not have shutters in this home like I did at 98 hampshire drive, rochester ny. (second owners didn't like the red door?)
