Comments (21)Thank you I like the green and purple too. I love the gray house with the blue!!! It really makes the home stand out and look different without looking kooky. I've read the front door should stand alone in color while matching the shutters. This included different shades of the same color. They said it drew the attention to the front door/highlighted the entrance. Making the shutters the same colors as the door draws the eyes away from the entrance and can make a home look "choppy"....See MoreDesperate to find the right color for front door!!
Comments (9)We live in New Orleans where the homes are very non traditional and colorful. I'm determined to bring that in to our house and reflect our heritage on the outside of our home, too. As far as SimpliSafe, we have a toddler, so the system is working pretty well for us! Whenever a door or window opens, it chimes, and you can see (if you set it up carefully) which door or window was opened. I installed it myself, and Im not very handy, so I can tell you the install was really simple! My parents have it also and have been very happy with it....See MoreNeed suggestions with front of house colors, door and shutters.
Comments (7)So glad you removed the shutters. They don't belong on your 1960s ranch home, even if they were put there by the original builder. Here are two articles to show you why: Shutters vs Shudders More detail about Shutters from Old House Guy I agree with you - no craftsman door. I will look for a door that is suitable for your ranch and others will jump in too :) The biggest improvement you can make is your landscaping. It is all jammed up against your house. Find a landscape designer to put together a plan for you that you can implement over time as your budget allows. Right now your landscaping acts as a barrier and not a sign of 'welcome home'. Wide & deep landscape beds with a wide entrance walkway open up your home. Good call on the black roof color for your new roof. Exciting times ahead!...See More

6 years agoFrom what I can see, the exterior of your house, while beautiful, is a long way away from anything farmhouse. Sometimes you have to love the home you’re in and not try to make it something it’s not. That being said, red is always a good choice for the farmhouse look
