Anna @Annabode on Sep 19, 2014Whatever you do, I think you should paint the brick the same color as the house, and make the garage door a different color.Helpful Reply

Jeanne DeShazer on Sep 19, 2014I have been thinking of doing that. Just not sure how expensive covering brick would be. But I agree. A couple of homes in the area have done that and it looks fabulous.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Sep 21, 2014Your roof looks light grey. I might do black shutters and garage door if you have black railings. and do a creamy taupe on the wood.Helpful Reply

Patty S on Sep 21, 2014Painting the brick would not be any more than painting anything. You could also "whitewash" the brick and do a nice light color for the top, maybe "Taupe" and the same taupe on the garage door. It would make the house look bigger.Helpful Reply

Jeanne DeShazer on Sep 25, 2014Thank you. All your suggestions have been helpful in making my decision. When I talked about cost, I meant covering more area, plus brick soaks up paint.Helpful Reply

Sue Ryan on Aug 29, 2016If you paint the brick same as the siding. I would paint the garage door the same color. The front door should be another color to stand out. That would make the garage door blend in. You want your front door to pop, not the garage door. Just my opinion.Helpful Reply
