Comments (8)Hi! I like your pink plant pots. If you like the white paint on the outside, consider a bold color door, black shutters and add big black trimmed flower boxes under the windows, with flowering shrubs and perennials in front of your porch. I love the idea of white hydrangeas fronting the concrete porch. Do you like romantic or modern & edgy? You have some nice trees, keep them trimmed up so they don't block the view of the house and windows. Try some "Aubrieta Rock Cress Cascade Purple Ground Cover Plant or Dichondra Silver Falls Ground Cover " with spiky grasses in between along the edge of the rock wall. Tuck some Creeping Jenny in between for variety in color. Whatever you plant, try to keep it low maintenance and slow growing as that is a real selling point for the future....See MoreHelp up the curb appeal of this Cape Cod Style Red Brick!
Comments (4)Upgrade the swing. I too would start from scratch on the landscaping. Rocks are NOT mulch! I took 2 years to dig them out of a bed to make it useful. Add some daylilies when you redo it. You could upgrade the lantern lights. Make them 1/3 of the door's height. Your black urns are a bit too formal/classic for a Cape Cod cottage. The two white dormers are the first things I saw. Painting the door and sidelights white might pull the eye to the entry. If not, consider blending the dormers into the roof color....See More1040s cape cod home exterior color
Comments (19)I'll work on the other side of your house. Just for your info, I show the window itself in black but the large trim around in white, I think with the black frame it would look too massive somewhat like what is presently done in dark green on the house. Taking that into consideration, I think that the white around the front door works....See MoreFroofyCat
