MN Mom on May 02, 2016What a darling home! Would you consider a nice grey siding (if you're considering changing the siding) How black or charcoal shutters and a red door? I would heft up the window boxes to give them more presence and then plant some trailing annuals. Paint the window boxes the same as the shutters. Lucky you, it's a really good looking place!Helpful Reply

Linda Santo on May 02, 2016My house has white aluminum siding with green and taupe trim and green shutters. When I bought the house it was white and after debating the color of the house itself, I decided on the white and green. It's the color I fell in love with when I first saw the house and decided to keep it. Any color shutters door will go with the white. It was painted about 10 yrs ago with Sherwin-Williams paint (I can get the name if you'd like) and has held up beautifully. Re-siding is expensive and I'm glad I just gave my aluminum a freshening up, any color you choose.Helpful Reply

Debi53 on May 03, 2016Pale gray for siding. Charcoal not black for shutters. Charcoal gives the same effect as black, but is not as stark. Then a beautiful bright aqua for the door. See pics.Helpful Reply

Dfm on May 04, 2016Take a look around your neighborhood- what are the colors most used? what is the most interesting house and why? do you want to stand out? blend in? here in Iowa i have the bake and shake thing happening- bake all summer, shake in the winter. the colors you chose will absorb heat- some more than others. darker-more heat absorbed, and possibility of bubbling and peeling of the paint. lighter colors- less heat. consider how long will you be living in this house- a few years, a lifetime? if a few years, go safe and conservative., If this is the NO WAY I"M MOVING house- go crazy with your favorite colors.Helpful Reply

Bonnie Woolever on May 04, 2016I would do the house and foundation in light gray. I think that the foundation needs to be the same color as the house. I painted my (ugly) brick house and foundation to match and it made a big difference. A nice red or turquoise front door would be so pretty! Or yellow. Dark gray shutters and white window boxes. I think that would be so nice!Helpful Reply
