Should we paint the brick?

10 years ago

We are in the process of updating the exterior of our home. We replaced the front door with a taller and wider dark bronze (almost black) iron double door, (original door was very short and out of scale with the home). We also replaced the exterior lights and roof. The roofer mistakenly installed the wrong roof color but we kept it because we got a discount and the chocolate brown is not too bad. Now we are considering painting the exterior, we are thinking either ivory or a grey-blue. We are not sure if we should paint only the stucco areas which are currently peach-beige and white or the entire home including all of the brick. All window trim and soffits are white. We will also be painting the garage doors to match the color of the iron door. Our house only has stucco on the front, it is brick on all other sides. We do not like the quoins but they are very difficult to remove without damaging the brick. We have also considered stucco over the brick on only the front of the house only to give it more consistency. We are not fond of the current look of brick and stucco combination, maybe it's because of the current color combination or it's just we are not fond of red brick. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
