Help! Ugly front porch- need help with curb appeal!
Comments (7)Chiflipper is right. Repairs first, then cosmetics. Easy and inexpensive to fix the railing(s). As for the stairs, I would go in this direction for cosmetic changes or really gray treads and white risers....See MoreHelp with Curb appeal
Comments (10)We actually haven't decided yet. It's been suggested I do beige windows to match roof overhang but I dont know that I like the look of beige windows. Any suggestions there would be helpful. I'm a new Houzz user...See MoreHelp with Curb Appeal
Comments (9)You have some orange in the stones, and your roof is a reddish brown. SW Chelsea Gray or Stamped Concrete read as a sage against the stones. I think that’s pretty, but you may not like the green. Favorite Tan is close to the orange stones, and reminds me of the color of a saddle. Not sure how it would play against your roof, though. Make sure you get tester pots and paint a large board (at least 2’ x 2’, larger is better). Colors seem different when they are larger and outside. Do you have any plans to replace the roof soon? If so, I would choose a lighter color that also works with the stones....See MoreHelp my curb appeal
Comments (18)I think staining or painting the red brick only looks like an improvement based on what people saw before. That is to say, if you came upon this house for the first time after all the suggestions for staining or painting had been done, you'd be thinking: How can I change the look of this house? The big black portico overhang is the thing I would most want to change, along with the black roof trim. The house has a design (not saying it is one I like) and I think uncovering the design would be a step in the right direction, rather than constantly applying coats of darker paint. Wondering if any other houses in the neighborhood are like this? Are there photos of the house when it was built? Would love to know what is behind the lattices....See More- 20 days agolast modified: 19 days ago
