Thank you for your response.

The brick is not the most attractive color; would you consider painting it?

Absolutely!

I'll suggest your design could look better. I would not cover the first floor brick.

Maybe extending the addition out to the face of the garage?

I'd look at all horizontal siding and not mix in B&B.

Something like that

The problem is the short second floor windows.

The deep brown of the garage door is a beautiful rich color and compliment the brick.

I would use clapboard siding in that deep rich brown color and paint all the window trims and the siding that color. the dark brown siding will help unify the overall look of the house and make it appear larger, rather than disconnected. I would never paint that brick, they style of the home does not warrant painting over the nice brick.

Spend the money on landscaping.

I would also change out the window covering on the large front window to a top down, bottom up blind.

the white window frames are fine with a deep rich trim color.

I would replace the exterior lights and house numbers, including mail box with Polished Brass.
