We bought this place a few years ago and still not sure how to go about it.... First of all we are trying to decide on siding colors. It needs to be something that goes with the brick. For awhile we debated painting the brick so we would have more siding options but some research showed that it wasn't good for the brick to paint it. So we have kinda decided to just leave it and work with it rather. I came across some photos of charcoal colored siding with white trim and thought it looked really good with the brick but.... we have fairly new shingles that are brown. So the charcoal is probably out. The only other two colors I could come up with was the color of the door (the close up of the door is more the true color-at least on my screen) and the cream trim on the door. Or the blue that matches the blue of the hanging pot to the left of the door. We plan to replace all our windows in the next couple years and it most likely will have white trim. Landscaping or comfortable porch furniture ideas would be awesome too. I had thought of adding a porch swing on the right side of the window facing the door. The patchy part in the grass in front of the house is part of our circluar driveway... needs some weed killer! Plan to get some flat stones or some field stones for the flower/perennial bed border. I'm trying to get ideas on shape of the flower beds. And yeah I know the garage doors are pretty pathetic....I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!
