I don’t think shutters are appropriate with the window I can see. Need photos from further back to see whole house. I like the idea of a green roof but not that green or green black combo. More pics please

No shutters you have nice wide trim and shutters need to be large enought to be able to cover the window even if they never do it. Where is the pebble dash ? I need to see the whole house from further back . I would never do a green roof too much of a statement just a nice charcoal it goes with everything . You have lot going on that I can see and I really am not seeing any greek revival so post pics of the whole house.

Here is a picture of the curbside appeal. We bought this house about 9 weeks ago. They already have a relatively new green roof and had green shutters that now made for faded siding surrounding

I would put my money to a new main door. Right now you have two front doors. Might mean “house divided”. (A Feng Shui thing.). Work on landscaping by removing overgrown shrubs and making walkway to one front door. If the “front door is the recessed door if possible add a pair of lanterns on outside of door. Paint shutters dark green if they have to stay on the house. Nice home! It will be fun putting your spin on it but do stay true to the home’s origins.

I've had a home with green roofing. Damned hard to find the right combinations. It limits your choices. If you have the option of new roofing at some point in the future, don't pick green. A dark grey is the most neutral.

Consider no shutters. Your windows aren't the correct shape, or alignment for shutters. On a period home, shutters should either work or not be there at all. As Flo suggested, concentrate on the front door for color.

I've got Roycroft Green on my porch floor. It looks more grey than green. If you want to go in that direction, do a sample on the back of one of the shutters and see if you like it. I only have it because the previous owner selected it. I'll change it when I paint the house next year.

If you insist on shutters, they will need to be green. Having my share of historic homes from your era, I would suggest what is known as French Quarter Green or Charleston Green. These are custom color mixes. Call the Sherwin Williams store in Uptown New Orleans and they will give you the formula. Any brand of paint store can make it up for you once you have the formula. The green is mostly black with a hint of green in the bright light. It's a historic color. It's so dark that you look at it and ask yourself is it green or is it black? Any regular green that you get from the color palette will be too light in the outdoor light. That's why you would need the custom formula.

I personally think you should remove the shutters. Your windows are so close together in some places it makes me think SOMEONE decided on the unnecessary shutters at some point of ownership. I’m not convinced they belong there. Your two dooors are confusing, so once the shutters are gone, you can try the Charleston Green homechef suggested. It’s an historic, classic, perfect color for your house. Beef up the landscaping (i.e. sweet pink flowers come to mind) so everyone KNOWS it’s the front door, and keep the “not front door” white so it recedes into the siding. What a fabulous, gorgeous home! It has a lot of curb appeal already and will be a true classic showstopper as you continue to give it attention and love.

I would do some research on your Greek Revival home. Go to your local historical society and see if you can find photos of your home from the 19th century. While shutters, operational, are appropriate in certain situations on Greek Revivals, yours don’t fit on the second floor of the right side of your home. It appears that the section of your home to the far right might have been a commercial space...a shop? The straight roof line and the odd window placement? As others suggest, Decide which door is your front door...and treat it that way but painting it a color that distinguishes it as your entrance, and with lighting that shows that it is important. I suspect it will be the door in the middle portion of your home. Also....look at a door that is more formal for that portion of your home. If you choose to use shutters...I suggest black.

I like the current gray/green color on the shutters if you do keep them. Paint the door a slightly deeper version of the same color so it stands out.
