Please Help Me "Cute Up" my Garage
Comments (35)How about a vine on the right side, trim around the garage door and a barn light above the garage door. I bought two (barnlights) for my bathroom for $40 each on Amazon. I would even just put the light for decoration purposes. http://www.blog.barnlightelectric.com/gooseneck-lighting-from-barn-lighting-to-a-home-remodeling-must-have/...See MoreYikes!

Comments (1065)I hear ya D2G, we all have plenty of those missed opportunities in our homes. I know I have tons! It certainly doesn't make your home any less beautiful! However, I would not draw attention to it with a FP screen, except maybe one of those fold over types Flo mentioned-they tend to stand higher. I also wouldn't buy anything else for the mantle. You don't need to match the art, and you have so many lovely things. I would sooner see your beautiful clock and candelabras, though not "perfect," because they are a piece of your story....See MoreNeed help with trim, gutters and garage door colors please!
Comments (3)I agree, white gutters. Garage door could go either way - navy or white. Don't think I would choose black for the door. Fascia I would go with navy, I think, but again, white would probably work also...See MoreGarage door color and style advice
Comments (19)Myrica, let me know how it goes with the overhead door company. I heard (from some GC) that there are other companies who sell the exact same doors that ODC does, at a better price. I’m not sure if that’s true. If you hear of anything like that, could you let me know? BTW I liked the ODC sales rep that came to my house. He was knowledgable, professional, and even had a little “fan“ pack of samples of the “wood” so I could see what color looked good with my new house paint. The only thing I didn’t like was the price..I wish it was lower (welcome to remodeling, right?) Terri, in terms of the constrast, it seems like you could choose a dark wood for the doors. Would that work? Can you get samples and see how it looks? Or maybe that‘s a reason to go painted, to match the color on the shutters? Hey, some of the paint company websites have visualizer tools. I used one (maybe Sherwin Williams). I wonder if something like that could help you see how all the elements work. Even if it’s not exactly your house, it might help you see how the proportions of color look. Tangnetially, I was using the Pental visualizer to see the different counter tops. You can change the floor and backsplash and wall paint color etc. For me, playing with that tool confirmed I needed a darker floor tile and a backsplash that had some pop (not just 50 shades of white)....See MoreDenita
