Personally , I think you are mad to get rid of the white -- anything else ( including/especially basalt or ironstone ) will darken the whole look , which doesn't suit your place .

I'd redo the white , if I was going to change anything , I'd change the garage doors to timber ones -- I can't tell from the pictures , but if there is garage door surrounds that can be done in crisp white , then go cedar ; otherwise a lighter timber ( say varnished pine or ash -- I know they're old-fashioned , but it would work ) would lighten things .

I like the white too but hey it’s only paint and not that much to try it a diff colour if it makes you happy. I would change out the screen door and add maybe do a bit of landscaping for a diff look, but I love your tree

Agree with you Cass, Ironstone would look fabulous with your brick, some new pots on your porch, update security screen, have a look at a darker mulch to highlight the garden, with your shade blinds, we trimmed off the scallop and painted them using a roller and Dulux weather shield and they looked fabulous , paint goes on so easy, because they are canvas and gave the house a modern look, I would go Ironstone as well, love your mulberry it’s beautiful, your house will look completely different and beautiful

I'm interested in chatting with some people currently in the renovation market for research on a new platform that will tag paint types and colours and show you the closest property with that colour. If you are interested in looking at a prototype please email me at greg@whobuiltthat.com.au. Thanks.
