Where to put the dormer(s)? Anyone with PhotoShop skills?
Comments (15)I agree and so does DH, the shed looks best. Thanks to robo for the mock up! Eld6161, my boys' room has one small porthole-style octogon window. I think it's because my second floor probably originally had only two very large bedrooms upstairs. At some point, a previous owner added a wall between one if the rooms to make a third bedroom upstairs. As a result my DD's room on the back dormer has two big windows and no windows in the front room which is the boys....See MoreWindows with or without grid for dormer in craftsman cottage?
Comments (12)Nope. 3 single hung windows. The pictures are just examples as I'm trying to figure out what would look the best. My husband does NOT like the idea of grids downstairs. I was wondering if windows with grids upstairs would look good and give the space more character. BUT, it appears it would be the same elevation so maybe that's not a good idea.

Comments (20)It looks so much better without them. Lindsey is right though, the door itself is not centered on the house. A lot of houses have doors that are not centered, but, most of those houses, do not have the type of roof you have. To make the door look centered with the roof, you would have to move the door over to the left quite a bit. I am sure you really dont want to do that, so just remove the dormers that draw more attention to it, and enjoy your home. :-)...See MorePLEASE HELP!

Comments (29)#3. All brick with siding under porch. Get rid of faux stone accents on corners at foundation. Do not pay extra for those. They are awful. If you have to have stone, only do it along the base of the foundation. Paint the garage doors as close to the color of the brick that you select to remove emphasis of huge garage doors. There is no hiding them, but you don't want them to be the focal point. Why #3? It has the most simple elevation and avoids most of the McMansion from Hell elements. That's why. If it were me, I'd do all brick. Then, I'd paint the brick and garage door the same color....See MoreVirgil Carter Fine Art
