exterior help

13 years ago

I am replacing the siding/porch/stairs/front door on my house and probably going with vinyl windows. I am stuck on the paint color. I love the look of painted brick but I don't really hate my brick color so I am not sure if I should paint it. Can't find a paint color to coordinate with my brick. Any suggestions on how to update my exterior would be appreciated. Thanks!

I love the house! When you get the new door, get a red or burnt orange door and put a welcome porch light on each side of the door- something big and bold to highlight the entrance. Add one more color- maybe hunter green for the outside shutters and also paint around the 3 little windows on the top floor to tie everything together. Put somecolorful potted plants on edge of stairs, going up to the door! Add plants containing red along the front! I'd love to see a picture!
