Front door dilemma
Comments (4)wow- that will be a big change! I assume all the window arch detail will be negated also? Be prepared to lose a lot of light, a transom door will help somewhat. I would be concerned of the large areas remaining after the siding is on, the gable plus the space above the windows to the roof line may make the house look very 'top heavy.' right now there is balance, the white trim on the windows, entry column detail & impressive window all work together. it depends on what look you are going for, a focal point in the gable space will be needed regardless. good luck! please post after pictures....See MoreFront Door Dilemma
Comments (10)I think the green looks fine on there, although,it would not be my first choice either. However, your faux wood grain colors wouldnt be my choice either. I would like to see a real color on there, like a dark blue, or a dark red, or a dark teal color. I wouldnt like gray on there either, although, I do love gray. Your house needs a brighter colored door to make it stand out a bit....See MoreHidden front door dilemma
Comments (7)I think there are 2 issues. Your front door walkway is frankly a bit whimpy for the scale of this home. and second, when you pulling the driveway you have immediate view of the patio area on the side of the house that has a wider walkway. I would put some large planters with beautiful tall plants to partly block that walkway and then do a much more pronounced walkway to the front door area - wide pathways, beautiful plants, lighting ( even lamp posts ). Think of larger scale . You have a good amount of front lawn you could come out into that as well. Good luck! Fun project!...See MoreFront Door Hardscape Dilemma
Comments (36)A pergola can be built independently….with out being attached to the house..this is my favorite feature at our house…in the summer we add shade cloth to the top (let’s light thru but supplies shade…then on the sides we added pull down sun screen shades around the perimeter…that roll up out of sight when not needed….we remove the shades in the winter…to allow all the sun when we want it..they are made to slip on and off easily…we live in the wine country and saw these structures at the wineries..for out door dining and wine tastings...See MoreRelated Professionals
