We are getting our house painted this summer. Getting a mock up of what our exterior will look like with different paint schemes, appears to be harder than putting a man on the moon.

I have done a very rough sketch up of what I am thinking of. We have decided to go dark brown - (something like espresso brown in Behr) instead of gray tones because of our retaining wall we had done last year.

I want to paint everything, including the brick, a cream/off white and paint everything else - the vertical slats and trim, the dark brown. My husband thinks we should paint the horizontal boards across the garage and second floor, the dark brown and not paint the brick. I have looked all over for some houses with a similar paint scheme, but haven't really found anything close to what I'm thinking.

Anyone update their mock tudor with similar color schemes? Help!
