Becky Griffin, REALTOR Houston, TX Benjamin Moore Moroccan Red. It's absolutely stunning with your current color combination!

juliefitz Also- can anything be done about the "angel wing" shutters on the arched windows? Not crazy about the stucco around the windows, but think I'm stuck with it. Suggestions???

lefty47 HI - I like the way the door looks now - I would just refinish it and add the same color stain . It looks real nice and classy. No to the black -- shutters and front door should not be the same color .

decoenthusiaste I think black will reinforce what you've already done. My issue is the small shutters over the square windows. Unlike your arched ones, most of them are obviously "faux" and won't close over the window. For the windows where that is the case I'd remove the shutters. I assume there is trim around all the windows that is being covered up. DO they all look like the large one on the ground floor? I think it is a contradiction to the style to cover the stone trim, so I don't think I would have ever added the shutters to this style of home unless the stone or concrete trim is incomplete. A bigger boost would be to rethink the clumpy hedges blocking up your front entry.

elwillems I think it looks good with the colour it has right now!! If you think you need to fix it up a bit, then try staining it with the same colour!?!?!

kro9o High gloss black. Gloss to pop and black so it contrasts with the frame instead of blend with the brick.

Becky Griffin, REALTOR Houston, TX About the angel shutters, you could just take them off and trim all the way around the window with the same stucco, much like the large picture window at bottom.

sweetpeadaisy2 I agree...get rid of the angel wings and go with the red door

nevadan Maroon gloss paint.

juliefitz If I get rid of the angel shutters, what about the area that will be exposed where they are currently...the brick would be exposed there, since the stucco is not behind the shutters...How can I get around that??

juliefitz @decoenthusiaste- I agree about taking the shutters down, but there is not stucco behind them so it will look strange...

Becky Griffin, REALTOR Houston, TX Trim it out with stucco just like the picture window at the bottom.

tjohnson40 I agree with high gloss black and add a cool door knocker and some potted boxwood bushes on each side.

Banarsi Designs Love the color the door is right now. I think painting it black would be a bit too much, the door needs to stand out from the rest of the house. I would either stain the current door or go with a deep wine red color.

cjohnston I think the door looks great as is. I've also heard that instead of painting a door black, use a very, very dark brown. It will give the effect of a black door but with some warmth.

loroca How bout a deep mossy green with black mixed in? Like the colour of the bushes in front of the house

judyg I'd keep the angel wings and get rid of the others. The wings look as if they could close and cover the glass…the others are just too dinky.

I vote black for the door. Lovely home.

Christine Pony up some moolah and get that door and the blue surround painted a lacquered black. Then get some high end brass or nickel locks & such. If you want a color I would go with a Ferrari red on just the door and do the blue trim in that lighter cream you have or black. Thin out some of those bushes so the door takes center stage. Fantastic home you have. good luck

timandt Black door!. Keep the shutters. The house is gorgeous as is.

pitbulls I like it just as it is.Very pretty

Terri Maines_Theisen I think the door you have now looks great with the brick & I love the 2 different shutters on the house.
