I vote #1. I like the blue color with the bricks.

You'll be sorry you asked :-) I have an opinion on everything :-)

Blue is one of my favorite colors, but not so much on houses.

I would look for a body color that goes with the brick color, is different, but doesn't make the house look like a top and a separate bottom.

And I would pick out the gizmos that "hold up" the roof (I should know their name, but have spaced out on it) but not so that they're the first thing one sees.

Here's a house with a body color/brick effect I like, even though it's not a color I like itself. And I assume that if the house were smaller, they'd have painted the architectural gizmoes another color to pick them out.

I found it my googling images for bungalow paint schemes:

#1 as long as it is a very muted blue. Is it from the SW Arts & Crafts collection?

Hehe, this was fun, no? Yes, these are all colors from the Sherwin Williams A&C collection. The final choice will be revealed soon enough.. thanks :)
