PLEASE HELP ME…

2 years ago

Hello Everyone. I need your expertise. I WANT TO:

-change the stark white roof triangle siding -change the stark white foundation on bottom of house and around garage door.

add a new walkway (pavers vs. concrete)??
-Paint front door and perhaps garage door?
-‘Do something to the (non-matching) brick retaining wall?

The problem is, I have NO IDEA what colors and materials to use for these curb appeal projects. I have to be careful, because the brick on the house is an old Chicago type of brick; It doesn’t match the retaining wall.
Lastly, I don’t know if any type pavers will be too busy/ clash with the brick?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful. I am thanking you in advance for your assistance!!

I think foundations and garage doors should not stand out. I'd paint the foundation a color as close to the brick as possible. I'd soften the gable to a warm cream that goes with your brick. But a warm green would work, too.

The walkway looks like it's in good shape. Why replace it? If you want it wider, I'd edge it with bricks. It's a great look and probably cheaper than replacing the whole thing.

I really like all your ideas and suggestions, Sigrid. I especially like the foundation color you suggested (a color close to the brick). I never considered a green or cream gable, but that’s an option as well. Thank you sooo much for your time, expertise and help. I certainly appreciate it!!
