White or Black Windows for Modern Farmhouse Style
Comments (39)@BT Great question and not to hijack this thread but since you asked: The hip roof has long span trusses and girders. My entire design was a slight overkill since we are also in a siesmic region. I wanted vast open span living and garage spaces with no posts or visible supports. Even though I subsequently enlisted a top local engineering company for their final design and stamp, I upgraded foundation and roofing members. The same design went into our 55' long and deep garages, creating a sense of open and free space. The foundation was another piece of engineering where I chose a post and pier foundation in the 5' high crawl space, and boy is it solid; it contributes to an extremely solid floor, on slab like foundation feel in the entire home....See MoreFirst home buyer need kitchen makeover!Modern farmhouse idea pls help!
Comments (10)First start some idea books that is what helps us understand what you like. Also we need more pictures a floor plan done to scale , a list of things you don’t like about the kitchen Are you getting new appliances and even if not we need the sizes of those . I will say it is best to live with the space for awhile before doing anything, that gives you time to see how the house works for you. It is surprising sometimes that what you think will happen in the space just doesn’t . IMO the min. amount of time is 3 months of living in the space.I assume these are the realtor pics and not your furniture....See MoreWorking to Make This Old House More Modern Farmhouse
Comments (42)Seeing this late, but I particularly like the allocation of wall-take-down assessment to a builder, I'm surprised you didn't go further and say designer instead of architect, haha. Very nice house and still good for a laugh. I'm always so sad when you see cute old houses for sale or on TV that have been reduced to white-washed, wallless shells of their former selves. Some of those people on house hunters and flipping wherever make such horrid suggests for how they could make a cute house theirs....See Morebest white exterior paint color for modern farmhouse
Comments (5)It's going to depend on your house's elevation and surroundings, window and roof color. You'll see Sherwin Williams "Alabaster" named a lot but I can think of at least one person on this forum who painted samples and found it turned yellow on two of her house sides. We repainted our house (mostly board and batten siding) white last year. I narrowed down the many decent choices by asking myself what my absolute worst result would be -- if it ended up looking, gray? beige? yellow? too bright? and avoiding whites that leaned in the worst direction. But you won't know until you paint big samples that can be tested on all four sides....See Morevirgilcarter
