(It used to be painted the Dry Basil color I mentioned before.) It is not easy to paint around landscaping, so I definitely recommend adding that after you paint. I'm not recommending the siding, just giving you a visual to reference. The front of my home is in this green shake siding from Certainteed. Get some life added with paint - you obviously hate it, so stick to what will make you happy first. Landscaping first would be like adding jewelry to a washed out face with no makeup. I'm not a professional, but I still think if you stick with your original color scheme of green (not a harsh tropical shade), and possibly added some type of architecture to your front door area, it would be the best place to start. Beautiful work in the kitchen.obvious you really thought about functionality.

Also, if you have budget constraints, here's what you can do: replace all boards on the sides of the house that you can't see from the road and leave them unpainted.wait a few months until you save up more, have the rest completed and paint everything all at once. If this is your forever home, leave the brick unpainted for sure. Brick is amazing - you can leave it alone and it will leave you alone. It is more expensive but worth it in maintenance.

Folks in middle-high end neighborhoods of older homes are replacing old materials to hardie plank. Even most new 'brick' homes are just brick on the front side facing the road and the other 3 sides of the house are hardie. If you drive into a new housing development, you'll notice that the homes all have hardie plank instead of vinyl. I also prefer the door without multiple windows.and a cheery color.all personal preferences I know. I love the mockup with the brick unpainted and the green a lighter shade instead of dark (provides contrast with the roof) and doesn't look as 'army'. use elevated planter boxes simple in design to frame the steps, plant some boxwood or hydrangea below the bay window Tell me what you think. Garage door- replace with a wood/wood-look door but if not in budget, paint a midtown brown Landscaping. The roof may need replacing and keep in mid-tone grey/browns. I would also do them in wood/black wrought iron to complement the front door. Shutters- they need to be wider and look like they are actually functional. Looks beautiful with warm wood tones/brick color and white/cream. I would choose a classic Hale Navy HC154. Joanna Gaines uses these a lot on Fixer Upper if you want to check them out. Front door - replace with wood door with and 3/4 window. The railing would be wood and iron metal rods. Stain in a warm color to complement your brick. or.remove all the posts and replace with a wood beam from your left downspout to the brick wall on the right with two square posts.

The front porch.the posts are not significant enough so I will recommend two things to consider.replace or reframe posts so they are more Craftsman in style and resign the spindles so they are chunkier. It will last longer for color without fading, loosing its sheen to name a few. Use high quality exterior paint specifically for siding.

So, I would update using color with paint. First, I would probably say to keep the brick as is as well as the trim, eaves etc.looks newer. Hello Santiago, Congratulations on a beautiful home.
