Are you staining the other stone as well? If you're keeping it, I'd pull a house color from that to tie it all together. A greige tone would be nice.

Ali, you'll first need to find out if your brick has been sealed. To test this pour a cup of water on the area and see if it absorbs into the brick. If it does, then you'll be able to stain fairly easily. Keep in mind the variations in color of your current brick will probably carry through with any color stain you choose to add. Test the colors you select on some scrap brick to ensure you likke the result before starting to stain the entire area.

here is info for you and as far as the color, it depends on the trim color, etc you could do a creamy white, beige, tan etc

Do you want to lighten or darken the house? When in doubt a white wash would work. Using that would keep you from making a color commitment but still give the house a fresh and modern looks.
