“We want to work WITH the brick and not paint it.”

You don’t know me, but I love you.

Your brick is so cool and interesting, and you’ve done a great job landscaping. I love your little courtyard area — when I was a kid, those were popular and I miss them.

Ok, a color. Can you show us a close-up pic of the brick?

Do you prefer lighter colors or darker?

Will the windows be painted, too?

We are lucky to have very talented posters here who can do mock-ups of exterior colors … I hope they see this.

I saw this and it reminded me of your brick (maybe):

can you take a close up of the brick please?

maybe another photo facing the house/garage straight on? I could photoshop some garage doors for you.

until then, do you think these tones would work for a darker trim/door color?

These two would be a nice compliment IF your brick falls in these tone ranges. I can't tell from photo

is the trim around your windows paintable? (if it's vinyl, disregard). this is how a darker trim would look

Beth H. thank you so much!! You are so knowledgeable

Jinx: thank you!!! yall are so helpful! see above post of closer pics. we are trying to figure out how to keep the courtyard area but modernize it

I'd select a dark contemporary door to complement the modern ranch house.

I do not always like gray with brick but in oyur case the dark gray from the brick would be great and make sure the garage door has some glass and a new MCM type front door too If you want to go that style this is one of my faves for landscping inpiration Notice front and garage door style.
