Paint Home Decorating Exterior

Before and After

3 years ago

We bought this lovely two story but the exterior colors were drab. They didn’t match and we decided to have it all painted. This is before and after. We had the shutters painted dark to match but they are drying haha. Should I have the brick painted to match the siding?

Looks really great. My vote on painting brick is NO!! It’s a pretty color, a very nice contrast & a great feature of the house. I would consider leaving the shutters off the lower window in that brick. Shutters add nothing to the brick but in the top half they add a nice contrast. Just rehang the top 2 window shutters & see what you think. What color did you paint the front door?

Definitely leaving the bottom shutter off! And the front door is new from Lowes! The paint on the trim is called Black Fox. I will keep the brick! Thank you so much!!!
