Comments (16)Agree with Beth H to change out the front door. Even if you just replace the door with something better and not do the double door (for now). Anything would be better than the door you have now. Sorry, those 1990's doors just irritate me, I see them everywhere here and I'm in FL, not CA. I would also get rid of as many of the semi-circles as you can. For example, remove those plastic window inserts in the garage doors to eliminate those semi-circles. Strongly consider getting rid of the two semi-circle windows too. JMO. ETA: I would not add stone around the garage either. You are in an HOA. Do they have a list of approved colors? In my area many of the HOA's are highly restrictive when it comes to exterior changes/colors....See MoreWhat is the architectural style of my house?
Comments (2)It’s interesting that you mention New Orleans. I’ve heard that once before and have recently started incorporating that style into my decor. We live near the beach, but still a few miles away. It also kind of has a beach house vibe. The layout is flip flopped with most of the living space on the second floor. I just don’t exactly know how to define the overall asthetic... not that it really matters I guess! We are definitely not painting the brick since the home is still relatively “new”....See MoreWhat architectural style is my home?
