Need Curb Appeal / Exterior Help
Comments (95)Where did you all get the software to change the look of this house? That is a great program and I would love to be able to do that and try different things. I like the idea of landscaping around this house. What a difference it made. My house is in need of some work around the front also. I bought some stuff from a wrought iron website for the outside of my home. A welcome sign, house numbers and some small trellises for my garden flowers. Also I bought wrought iron hooks - kinda like s hooks that I could hang plants from for my side porch. The wrought iron does not take away from the plants because it is so dark it just blends in yet when someone really looks they can see how beautiful the hangers are instead of just white hangers or yarn hangers or something. It adds to the beauty of my home subtley and that is just what I was looking for. There was a site that had everything I needed. Now my place looks nice but I need some flowers, plants etc for the front....See MoreNeed help with curb appeal - exterior paint ideas
Comments (27)Practigal - We are in San Diego. Water is at a premium and I have a ton of grass. I'm ok with the water bill but it is tough to keep green watering 2 days a week. BTW - I really like the covered entry also. Most examples in the neighborhood no longer exist because they either removed it to pop out the corner or they hit the brace with their car and had to remove it. Justerrilynn - I did mean the front door. Our neighborhood has quite a few examples of our similar home. One neighbor has the door right where you have it. Here are a few examples. Hope they don't mind me posting streetview photos. These are all homes built by the same designer in the 50's. The above home was the same as ours, flipped. I love the huge porch but, in person, the thing that really makes it look nice is the roof - heavy tile. Above are my across the street neighbors. House on the left is exactly like ours, just flipped. Both houses had the inset door and popped them out many years ago....See MoreExterior - help! Need Curb Appeal - BAD
Comments (11)I could see replacing the side steps with steps straight up the front to the door. You could then swing a red brick path over to the driveway or to the street. Where your lower landing is located, and to the downspout (paint them out so they aren’t visible, you could plant low shrubs. I envision this as a cute English cottage. Do the dividers in your windows come out? If so, they could be painted black and snapped back in to go with the black trim noted above. A very cute house!...See MoreNEED HELP WITH EXTERIOR PAINT and CURB APPEAL
