There is nothing wrong with the brick. Surely you don't want to turn your no maintenance brick into a surface that has to be repainted again and again periodically. I think your house will look better without the shutters. The brown roof is a limiting factor. Cream or sage siding (think of the roof over the bay window) would look good, but board and batten doesn't strike me as the best choice. Please don't get black windows. Your house will never be Modern Farmhouse. The porkchop eaves and bay window are working against that. Once you choose a siding color, think about something different for your front door and garage door. You can always update your post here to show samples of siding and get more comments. Once you choose the manufacturer you will know what your options are.
