It would actually look nice, with that black iron fence, painting on the same yellow as the house.

first thing you want to do, though, is ask the town if you even CAN paint it.

Also paint the black fence in a glossy black.

Hi Tibbrix, never though about painting it yellow. That might just be a great idea.
If you see at the end of the first picture, I have a solid long iron gate painted in black. Would you keep it glossy black as well as the fence?

Very pretty. Do you need covenant permits as far as painting, etc. I think the cinder block wall blends well with the sidewalk. However, it would also look nice painted the same color as the home. Either is nice. I like the black fence. Not sure I would gloss it up, but that's your choice. I sort of like the patina look of the cinder block, the grown-up neighborhood and the matte worn black fence.

I am the furthest thing away from a landscape expert, so don't even know if it would be possible -- but, what would you think about planting some kind of vine that would eventually cover the lower cinderblock and possibly a flowering type vine for the cinderblock columns?

All the pictures are upside down on my iPad, but the first thing I would do is stucco over the block. Then paint it.

A vote for using concrete stain to color it -- perhaps in a deep rich green to blend with the black iron fence ....

Yellow to match the house would not be my first choice for this lovely wall.

Consider training creeping fig to cover the wall, or go with a much more subdued color/stain for the wall. Something more neutral so if you decide to change the color of the house, the wall color can remain.

kswl's suggestion to stucco over it is a great one. I would then, yes, paint it the same color as the house.

And again yes, I'd do all of the wrought iron in a glossy black. That is how it's done in Boston, and I can tell you, it is beautiful. Your fence is gorgeous and a wonderful feature. Highlight it!

Glossy black wrought iron fence. Beautiful.

Hi guys, thank to you all for the suggestions!!! I really like the idea of going with yellowish paint or green acid stain. Those 2 are really nice options. I'd have to look at the house tonight and think about it.

Also, what do you guys think about the pathway to the front door? right now it's just concrete, should I stain that too?
Sorry for the million questions, it's really hard to get ideas
