Your vote needed: paint the thingy?
The house as purchased, with unruly yews and seafoam-green interior to the porch (it could not be removed from the inside brick and the whole thing had to get painted, sorry folks)
The house yesterday, with primer (I kept calling it Powder)
The house today, with two paint colors applied. Trim work has not been done yet, which will be white where you still see the gray primer.
So do we paint that thingy sticking out from the front of the bricks? I think it’s a block put in where a drain used to be, and I won’t tell you who thinks it should match the trim and who thinks it should be brown like the bricks around it. What is your vote?
The house wall was supposed to be a gray but it came out peachy, though this picture at dusk isn’t the clearest. The brown was supposed to be darker and redder. I still like it, though! I took the paint chips out in the sun to decide but still got a surprise.
Foliage to follow, once we remove the rest of the roots.

I vote brown like the bricks. My old house had a couple of those off the porch… is it just like a hole so water can drain off? I’d guess the plants’ll grow up and cover the spout eventually anyway. If you let us vote on the plants, I’d vote ornamental grasses. Lovely! (and some can be bunny snacks!)
It’s such a cute place. Congratulations!
