exteriors light for a cape cod style home
Comments (4)I Googled ‘dark sky lighting for cape cod’ on Pinterest and several options came up. I think it’s important to choose lighting that doesn’t produce annoying glare for your neighbors....See MoreExtending Porch on Cape Cod Style Home
Comments (2)@JP L First thank you for taking the time to respond and offer feedback as well as thoughtful questions. In terms of how far we would extend the porch, we are flexible. I like the 3rd photo very much (and if budget would allow I would even add the "bump out" they have and turn it into a mudroom. However, I'm not sure our budget will allow that considering the other work we are doing inside. In that case, I would extend the porch as far as needed to make it look good - possibly the entire width of that side? What are your thoughts? You are correct - we have a basement. It's a fully finished walk out basement, and those 2 windows (adjacent to the chimney) are in the basement. The make-shift tiny roof is covering one of the windows. We are assuming that was built in order to help water run away from that window. It can be removed. Extending the porch would likely help with drainage on that side of the house. The downside of extending the porch is that it would cover those 2 windows (which are in the basement playroom). However, honestly those 2 windows offer very little light; in part due to that little makeshift window cover and also because of the heavy tree cover surrounding the house the majority of the year. So little light comes in that we don't think functionally it would matter if we lost the windows. We are adding lots of overhead lighting in the basement as part of the whole-home remodel. Let me know if you have any questions and I appreciate your feedback!...See Moreexterior colors for 1940s cape cod home
