porch. I think any color choice for the house would be fine if change out the iron for wood. Even a dark color with light trim and fence. Definitely keep the trim light even if the house stays the same color. (Tan house, white trim) I think also adding an overhang to the porch or something that draws the eye up would be good. Kind of a trellis look, and you could foe paint the garage to look like carriage doors. Add some wild roses that you can train to climb the front of the house and I think you would have a great start to your own French country retreat! The AC unit? Get creative!
