Something like this could be an option, with the chimney left natural brick. But our chimney is more off-center than this so would it have the same effect? Also, do we paint the stone at the bottom, or leave that natural. We have so many different materials to deal with, it makes it trickier (for me, anyway).

Here are some ideas:

Cute house! My brick home from the same era looks very similar. I’m shopping for paint colors too. Currently set on SW Urbane Bronze for the foundation, SW Morris Room Grey for the siding, and TBD warm white for the windows and trim. I’m trying to work with the brick colors since I don’t plan to paint the brick.

I would not paint the brick. I love deep green siding paired with natural brick.
