HELP - ENTRYWAY/FRONT PORCH NEEDS MUCH HELP
Comments (9)So I would absolutely keep the rug. I would do a cooler color on the wall like a gray green or gray blue. Get a runner to go between the doors that coordinates with your existing rug. I would add real baseboards but if you can’t just paint a 4” wide white band above what you have to fake it. Add a narrow console table with an open decorative front to hide the air conditioner. Paint the door to the house charcoal gray. I found these curtain panels that to me could mimic artwork to hide the vertical blinds. Then add a seating are there. Keep the bench and mirror as is. I don’t have photoshop so excuse my poor mockups lol....See MoreHelp I need advice with updating my 1950's small front porch
Comments (11)I‘m in Cali too. Not sure, but it looks like the LA metro area. The thing that immediately stood out for me is the landscape mix of rocks and brick. I would have chosen one or the other. I could see a pale yellow on the stucco (I think the current color is too close to the roof color; reminds me of the popular colors of the 90s). I could also see removing the wrought iron decorative post (not sure if that is orginal based in the design) and put in a railing along that side, with a design tilting toward the 1950s. I am not the biggest fan of security doors, but understand why some really like the functionality of it. If it were my house, I would remove the security door and put in a stained wooden door. Love the original mail slot. I have a 1950s house too that is in Los Angeles proper that has the white wood siding too (vertical vs horizontal slats), but the stucco parts are a dark green with a dark brown painted front door. We also have wrought iron, but in the house. It acts as a wall near our staircase. I doubt ours is original too as the design does not fit the year the house was built (1958-59)....See MoreNeed help in picking stone/concrete for walk way and front porch

Comments (6)Wow! These renderings are beautiful! I love the stone color with the house. I would love the roof over the porch and keep trying to convince my hubby but probably not. We tore down the old wrap around deck & planned to do it again but I have always loved stone porches. Seeing these ideas helps me to imagine it. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me. I really do like the steps going off in both directions in the 3rd pic. Just afraid of the cement work cost. Also our land is a bit more sloped than it shows in the pics but these ideas could still be implemented with some tweaks. we definitely have lots of options to consider now. Thanks again. I will try to post updates along the way....See MoreRelated Professionals
