I agonized choosing paint colors, whether to keep the shutters....the usual novice (me) questions. We're about 95% finished so thought I'd share before and after photos.

We ultimately chose SW Dorian Gray for the body color, SW Pomegranate for the front door and trashed the shutters.

We're very happy. THANK YOU for all your helpful contributions.

Here's some photos (sorry for reflections/glare). We'll do some re-sodding and landscaping this Spring. If you have anymore suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
