We have more facade options of this design:

Forest Green Exterior Color

This house just got a makeover in forest green, and wow, what a transformation! The new color takes it from “suburban neighbor” to “enchanted woodland cottage” in one coat.

The crisp white trim now pops like icing on a pine-flavored cupcake, and those porch chairs look extra cozy against the deep green backdrop.

That bold new coat completely shifts the vibe—you almost expect to see woodland creatures moving in. The brick steps and porch posts stay the same, but now they seem even warmer, inviting you in for a cup of cocoa (or maybe a secret meeting with friendly elves).

Forest green: it’s not just a color, it’s a whole personality!

Pale Blue Exterior Color

Forget the standard white—this home just had a serious glow-up with a fresh coat of pale blue paint across its entire facade.

The new color instantly infuses the cottage with a breezy, cheerful vibe, making it look more like a Hamptons hideaway than your typical farmhouse. That subtle blue plays beautifully off the crisp white window frames and metal roof, all while still letting the red-brick steps and foundation strut their stuff.

With the new shade, the front porch scene is practically begging for lemonade and a sunny afternoon. The porch swing and rocking chairs pop even more against the blue backdrop, turning the entrance into a postcard-worthy welcome.

Pale blue: for when your house wants to go from “good neighbor” to “neighborhood heart-throb.”

Stained Wood Exterior Finish

Someone dialed up the rustic charm—now the facade is cloaked in beautifully stained wood! The house traded its plain exterior for warm, earthy tones that practically whisper “cabin getaway.” The grain of the wood gives the siding texture and character, making the metal roof gleam even more.

Plus, the wood trim around the windows and door ties the look together like a cozy lumberjack sweater.

Previously, this home might’ve played it safe with a painted finish, maybe even a light color. Now it struts its stained wood proudly, blending seamlessly into the surrounding trees like it’s hiding from city life.

Even the porch posts and railing got a timber upgrade—this place is ready for s’mores, not spreadsheets.

Black Exterior Paint

The most dramatic twist? That jet-black exterior!

This house ditched the traditional bland for a bold look that makes the front porch pop and the white trim and columns shine like a spotlight at midnight. Even the rocking chairs suddenly seem to be striking a pose on the porch runway.

Black siding turns the entire farmhouse-vibe on its head, making the homely brick stairs and warm wood door all the more inviting—because someone’s got to balance all that mystery! And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to drink morning coffee feeling a bit like a secret agent on their shadowy veranda?

Slate Panel Siding

Well, look who showed up with an upgrade—this house swapped out its classic horizontal siding for sleek slate panels.

Now the facade means business, with a modern twist that makes the front porch rockers look almost too chill for the cool composure of the exterior. Even the front steps seem to march up a bit prouder, leading the eye right to that confident slate finish.

The slate panels bring more texture and a subtle shimmer, changing the house’s vibe from charming farmhouse to sophisticated retreat. The contrast with the white trim and the crisp lines of the porch columns is sharper, and the whole place looks ready to be featured in an architecture magazine—just don’t let it get a big ego.
