Painted the cottage

So far I have just added a grey wash to the outside walls. It looks a bit dull to me, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what more to do with the color of the walls? How to paint it, color choice, tecniques, aging etc... I am going to make a garden in front of the house, so I guess that will make it look more interesting.

    Hei
    Hva med en brent umbra oljemaling tynnet med white spirit? Det er ofte det jeg bruker for å gi litt liv til ting. Lag det tynt og pensle det på for så å tørke det av med en klut:) Du vet sikkert dette fra før av, men det var nå et forslag herfra;)

    Det var noe lignende jeg gjorde på veggene inni huset, men jeg hadde ikke tenkt på at det kunne funke på utsiden også... takk for tipset! :-)

    You could use diluted acrylic paints and highlight areas showing the different types/shades of stonework. Perhaps add a little green round the bottom of the cottage to simulate moss?
