A lighter yellow then it already is??? It's going to end up looking white. I wouldn't paint the bricks and the siding the same color. I like that they are different.

Are you keeping the shutters? I like the black or charcoal gray w/the yellow. As for the black door, while I like the color, I think it would make yours fade away and recede.

I like the idea of squaring up the columns and losing those grandma spindles. You could do something in a redwood to warm up the porch.

Here is what a lighter yellow/off white would look like w/the brick,,,and gray wrought iron:

Thank you for the comments... I definitely agree on the columns for the porch. The brick exterior below the windows doesn't exactly match the pavers on the porch/sidewalk and with the red door, I just feel like it looks too busy...?

I would remove the shutters and paint the dormer siding yellow to match the rest of the house.

The funny thing is, the dormer siding is actually painted the same yellow now... Florida sun has faded it. :) If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to alter the pic above? Is there an app for that? It's genius!! Thank you!!

I just copy and paste to remove the shutters. To paint, I use this: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/visualizer/#/active
