A little over a year ago, my wife and I purchased a home in a well-known mid-century modern neighborhood just outside of Atlanta, GA. It's got a whole mid-century meets Mediterranean thing going on. We've done a ton of interior renovations, but now it's time to give the exterior a facelift. Here's what she looks like now:

The house

Our current plan, which we're not 100% happy with, is to paint it a darker gray with white trim. We'll also add an accent color for things like the front door and spiral staircase. We also plan to just replace the current wood board and batten siding with the same thing.

Does anyone have any ideas for different colors or siding materials? We're open to just about anything but would prefer to stay away from lap siding, expensive fiber cement panel systems, or wood (don't like the maintenance). Also, we would kind of like to keep the bricks the natural color as there is no going back if we paint them. Overall our style is very modern, but we would like to keep the mid-century flavor to fit in with the neighborhood.

Hello all,

I just purchased my first home and I’m a bit confused what style it is. We have had people tell us it is mid century modern, as well as a ranch style home. However, it certainly doesn’t fit the stereotypical mid-century modern house I find online. Curious if anyone has any ideas. Thanks so much. (Picture in comments, sorry i’m bad at this 🤦🏻‍♀️).
