I think your home is beautiful as it is. However, if I changed anything it would be the green trim...maybe a dark brown instead.

It looks beautiful right now! I agree, the first thing I imagined was a new bronze coloured trim instead of the one on the windows right now.

Id also work on the landscaping, maybe some more vertical plants good for your zone.

You have a beautiful house. I agree that the color is dull. Lightening the stucco and painting the windows like in the photo below, would cheer things up. I would also paint the door a color. Not necessarily the teal, but something that makes you happy. Colorful landscaping around the door would be nice too.

Lovely house! If I were to do anything it would be with landscaping. Everything now is very linear and could use some softening whether with colorful flowers at the front of your beds or, I really like the idea of something colorful and trailing on the balcony rail.

Some ideas:

IMO the left side of you home appears to be a bit flat in you color selections. See below. Since I don't think changing the window trim is an option, I would consider carefully lightening the paint color to create more contrast I would also paint the lintels your stone color.

Yes to painting the body the lightest color in the stone. Another yes to a landscape refresh, something less clipped and formal. This house will rock!

And maybe one or two specimen plants.

OMG - LOVE everything about it! Not exactly helpful advice, I know....

I agree! This is a beautiful home. The lintels over 2nd story french doors and first floor mulled windows should be wood (stained), not wrapped in stucco. This will add interest to the full gable wall. I find that the post on the porch are disappearing against the stacked stone on the wall. I would replace the stacked stone post with stained wood post which will mimic the wood lintels. Both of these simple changes should give you the appeal you feel is lacking. Small, intentional, and true to architecture changes will go a long way.

No shutters. Inappropriate for this house.

Shutters should only be put when they can be sized to fit over the window if closed. If not done this way they serve no purpose. We do work here on the gulf coast. Shutters are an architectural element which was born from a need to shelter during storms. Unfortunately many use them to fill empty space on an exterior wall...

The landscaping isn't horrible but as Dig Doug posted adding some flowering plants and/or color would spruce things up quite a bit! Along with adding some white on the house :)

In case anyone thought so, I was not suggesting shutters, but a new color for the windows.

The house has a nice upscale look, but the walk seems substantially underwhelming in comparison and needs to be widened. The plants at the right side seem obstructive which takes away from a welcoming feel. I would add a landing to the full porch length to suggest that the area is not off limits, but beckons. The concave bed line at the left side seems more stingy than bountiful. I'd flip that.

The trim color seems fine to me, but that is not to say that something else could not be an improvement. It's open to exploration. Where the color scheme loses me is at the top of the wall in the transition to the roof. I'd make fascia and associated parts white. I think there is too much sameness to the overall tones and white, mostly in shadow, would add a subtle liveliness. (I don't have any way to show it.) Maybe the rafter tails could be in contrast to that, but not necessarily.

You have a beautiful house! Only thing I would do to the house is paint the trim a bronzy brown. After that, concentrate on your landscaping. I would add BIG planters with flowers between each of the stone columns and smaller planters on either side of your door. Also add a low horizontal planter on the Juliette balcony with trailing plants (open door to water it). If you have a green thumb, add flowers your garden beds

Mamaweed, I think your home is beautiful and oozes character and curb appeal. I think the suggestion of making the lentils darker is a good one - something dark brown like your rafters. I would think you could accomplish that with a brown concrete stain . —- Where the left bed is curved, I think it would be wonderful to come forward a bit and , short of laying flagstone hardscape, you could carve out a bed that is in line with the one on the right and fill it with pea gravel or just mulch to make a “home ” for a concrete fountain. Your facade just seems ideal for a rustic fountain. You could enjoy the sound from your porch. ( The inspiration pic. is not to scale for your space, but just for an idea. ) — I think your entrance could use a lantern, either hanging or just one that would be seen from a side profile on the wall that is perpendicular to the front door.—- Consider making a small parallel bed on either side of your walkway and planting it with small/ short native grasses to visually expand the walk, give o neater appearance and outline/ highlight the walkway ( see grass at base of pillar in pic.) —- Loved Grover’s bright red specimen plant. I think anything red ,here and there amongst your foundation plantings , would be so pretty.

I love your home! Is this in Hill Country? I’m no pro but I agree with several others that perhaps lightening the stucco a bit and adding colors and texture in landscape. Maybe changing the green. Personally, I could live with it as it, but I understand your wants. But you don’t “need” to do anything.
