A Work in Progress
We have lived in our early 1900s bungalow since the summer of 2006. Although we are not sure exactly when it was built, we do know that it was converted into the town's hospital and clinic during the 1930s. It served the community and the surrounding areas as a hospital until the 1970s. Although we would love to restore it to its original glory, we also want to preserve the journey that it has traveled and all of the history in which that entails.
Our life..(yes, we do have one outside of restoring our home)

Depending on what body color your house is, certain colors can complement or clash. That one picture you point out with the bright red brick most definitely clashes.
I have a bungalow color book somewhere and can't remember off the top of my head, but brown body almost always goes with brown roof, in contrasting intensities/tones. The brick on your home isn't really a pure red so you could probably get away with shingle color that might clash a bit more on a bright red brick. Looks like a blend of red, brown, & tan. That shingle isn't a pure brown, but seems to have a bit of a greyish blue sprinkled in there as a highlight. Depending on the trim color you go with, I think it'll look pretty nice. Maybe something in the muted blue-green spectrum?
