what to do with this dated and uncool exterior?

10 years ago
I have bought this seventies colonial style house. Unfortunately I'm more of a modernist so I am looking for ways to "coolify" my house. The weatherboards at the top are about to be repaired and painted. They are made of pine. I was thinking that black might tone things down a bit and tie in with the bricks but may warp the weatherboards in the harsh New Zealand summer. Mainly what I want to do is make it look more sophisticated. Ideas?
