New old house, ideas please...
Comments (18)Wow, thanks civ Iv fan!!!The links help alot and make me realize that shutters aren't the only answer to prettying-up the front a bit. I'm also a firm believer in 'if they wouldn't cover the window when closed, they don't belong.' It would look ridiculous if we tried to shutter them! Those two windows are like eyes too close together-you wouldn't want to draw too much attention to them. Ha, ha! These windows are actually fairly new too so I wouldn't really like to have to replace them. Good to know I can work with them. I like the darker trim colour on the windows of the green house plus that neat detail at the gable. Very pretty yet simple. Both pics have nice porches too which I can see at the front of ours and wrapped along the side. Update: my husband,(since lunch) now thinks we should treat the side as the backyard, which it really is or will be since it faces the largest expanse of lawn. Wants to put attention to making the front nice-looking-good, me too! Still wants to put in a nice door on the long side but we're thinking French doors now-I think that side needs a bit beefing up with detail but I guess if we keep the front simple then the rest of the house look should follow, right? So, no shutters on the rest? I'm guessing, it would look stupid. It wouldn't be following the 'Pioneer Tent Stle' of architecture as the blue house in link 2 indicates. Is that what style mine is?...See MoreSmall Library
Comments (18)Ok so here's an update. I have painted the room and trim/molding/baseboards. The room is a tan/wheat color i guess is what you would call it and the trim is an antique white. Kinda boring i know but i wanted to be able to put any kind of furniture in there and it match. I have also picked out the wood flooring, it is a light cherry color if that makes sense. My big dilemma now is the bookcase. I would like to use cedar and just bring out the natural red in it but i am kinda unsure on what to use for that and I'm not sure if that will match the floor, i have been told just poly it or use tongue oil.Or i could just get a pine and stain it a color that matches. I'm not sure why i am kinda stuck on cedar but i am :). Thanks again for the help....See MoreCeiling Paint Color?
Comments (3)Any pictures of pale blue ceilings with light gray walls would be greatly appreciated. I looked through here on Houzz and there aren't very many or they are in huge homes! Trying to get an idea in a smaller space with limited windows....See MoreNeed Bedroom Decor Advice
