Link to old post?

I would repeat my previous comment, but if you're desperate for change, how about replacing the bay window with a nice flat double window and using the protruding brick base as a planter? You could change out all the posts and railings for something larger scale but still in a similar style as the ones you have now. Widening the steps as I suggested before, enlarging the posts and adding beefier railings and ballusters, newels, etc.

Yes, I love the beefier posts...........do you think changing to white trim would look good?

those flower beds can really add a lot.

what if you did some of these ?

trim out the beds in a brick or concrete ribbon, and plant flowers that work w/the red brick.

love this walkway w/all of the greenery

don't over look hardscape

Black mulch would look nice.

maybe back in the corner do a nice water feature, or birdbath

here's a crisp white w/the black.

I think a garage door like this, in the black, would look so much better

If you want to modernize, you could remove the shutters, do an arbor over the garage doors, new doors, and a diff trim color.

this is obviously a limewash. I'm not suggesting this, I'm just showing you options

for the bay window

i'd do a copper roof accent and prob paint that siding a diff color

sage green would be pretty on the siding and the shutters

just like this

or, go black. black trim, black on the siding, copper roof over the window and some cedar accents like the posts and railing

you'd have to paint the railings or do them in cedar, but this looks good!

or, switch to this shade of blue w/the black door/garage door

Beth thank you so much!!! You have given me such good ideas!!! Actually the roof over bay window is copper, just changed colors over the years. I wonder what you could do to get that back! Love the black garage door you put on here. I like the last color scheme. But I also like the white crisp trim! I'm working on getting the flower beds full of flowers. Went to Lowes today and bought some things.

I have a copper sink and when it darkens, I get out a scrubby and BarKeepers friend. shines right up.

you could also spray it with some white vinegar , orange juice, lemon, etc. acid will take off the tarnish. srpay, give it 30 mins and rinse off w/water.

Personally I like the patina version (you can get some products that react w/copper and produce this color (which normally take 10-20 years). I'd paint that siding that sage color, then bring in the color accents

these are the colors I'd redo on the home. gave you a creamier white, some sage shutters and the copper accents

This! found the colors. either one of these greens (the basil is the perfect tone) and something like Urbane bronze for the fascia trim (along the roof line) and the shoji around the windows/porch

do you like this? SW Rosemary. do these lights in the copper.

And, if you ever thought about limewashing that brick, these greens would also be stunning w/the alabaster white tones and copper accents.

You could also get some copper colored ceramic pots, maybe a copper rain chain, to spruce up that flower bed

look online for decorating ideas

otherwise, really amp up that corner of the flower bed

bring in the coper color begonias, coleau, some hostas, etc.
