I would vote for painting the brick to make it more compatible with the garage which looks quite nice. Just remember once brick is painted it can't be unpainted. There is no stripping paint off brick.

I think the brick is classic and cozy. The garage harmonizes -- painting the rest all white will just make it more dominant in the facade. Presumably you prefer to have focus on the actual house?

The house looks great right now IMO. Really don't see the need for any changes....except perhaps painting that white downspout to blend with the brick.

It's true the garage does tend to dominate the facade a bit....not overmuch....but I feel that is much more due simply to its location, rather than its paint color. And it is a fine looking garage. If anything, the brick on the house helps emphasize its status as the actual house, while the lesser painted structure is appropriately a secondary structure.

For more rustic charm, I'd focus on improving the landscaping. The grass was obviously someone's pride, but it's too uniform and featureless to be really charming. I'd recommend more soft, billowy shrubs and cottage flowers, added as part of a comprehensive landscape plan. But you can't go TOO rustic.......the garage won't allow it.

It is a beautiful house just as is!! The colors are perfect. Some type of shrub planted under the 2 windows on the front of the house might be all you need - something that flowers in the spring/summer like you have on the side of the house. I love your house. You can always put a country-style wreath on your front door. And/or put something more rustic & taller in the black pot or replace the pot with a more country looking one that you have on the porch.
