Need advice on updating exterior of our new house.
Comments (5)I think you should post some more pictures. That picture is probably the most unflattering view of your nice house. It makes the garage door look exaggerated, which it probably isn't in person. Everything depends on your budget, of course, but without spending too much money (like changing the roof and exterior materials), which I am certainly not qualified to give opinions about, I would think about creating a wider, more substantial and nicer walkway to the front door. A couple of pretty planters on either side of the garage, and larger light fixtures would go a long way. Im sure you could do something else with that post. Let's wait for experts!...See MoreYellow Brick Exterior Update
Comments (7)What a lovely home! I too would be really interested in seeing the house - in other words, we can't see it now. Post again when the front is cleared. I really like those sample pictures that rinq posted. Are your windows being replaced by any chance? And I think I'd heed the above advice about making sure the brick is weatherproofed (tuckpointed). After that's taken care of, I think the brick looks fine....See MoreExterior Paint and Stain Recommendations with Pink Brick
Comments (13)tr,,it's a little too far back. you won't be able to see any detail. (so, get ready for a bunch more pics! you really have a lot of options w/this brick) I've got some diff garage door options, a front door, and I've thrown in 4-5 more color combos. However, in order to work w/a larger pic: Move over to the right just a little, and come forward a few more feet so that we don't see the fencing. see if that works. (and hopefully you take a picture at present so we get the landscaping) in the meantime, here's a dark door and a light door. (but you really can't see the front door very well because it's too far back! here's a warmer charcoal on the garage, and a soft pink door ( just pick one of the brick colors) I think if you did the siding and the fascia trim in the same charcoal, it would look nice. Kendall charcoal is a warm charcoal. that could work. or BM Gray, you could do a lighter warm gray on garage door (with the hardware) and a darker gray on the siding. Paint the trim a soft white. tried to show it here. Maybe like these ? you have the two grays, Or, just go w/the color palette on the left. If you can swing it, I'd get a panel of windows, along w/your current hardware, added to your door. looks so much better. The panel of windows, the iron hardware, the lights. I also found the perfect door for you. This one. (no side lite) And this color. See how the siding is painted a medium gray? The front door is a dark charcoal, SW Iron Ore. then do the pretty pink flowers in a dark gray container. Bright white trim (in one of those whites I showed you). maybe think about doing some black slate tile on your porch floor. and, think about doing something w/that wood fence (if you haven't already). throw a fence stain on it I'm kind of digging this aluminum style garage door on your house! With a new front door and the new colors, it will be totally updated. (don't forget the fence! ) The silver color door is nice w/a blush front door. Btw, found a few more colors for the brick. more of a terra cotta color for the door (or I guess you could do the siding) and the other two would be siding/ and trim. this one, Ashley gray would be siding, Trim would be middle one, and the front door would be the terra cotta. as for the garage door, you'd do the gray color like the siding....See More1988 brick home exterior update advice?
Comments (17)It's a really nice looking house! As always, Doug makes the best mockups of adding more interest with additional plant beds. Right now you have a lot of lawn and that's a little boring. More interesting plants really bring a yard to life. As far as the house, definitely keep the brick. It's gorgeous. If it were me, I would remove the storm door and replace the front door with a beautiful new door. If it's in budget, I would look at some nice new garage doors as well, possibly with windows. My neighborhood has somewhat similar houses and the neighbors that have splurged on new garage doors look fantastic. One final thought: maybe look at a different trim color. What you have now isn't bad, but to me it seems a bit yellow against the brick and I think there might be a better color out there for the trim and the bumped out windows. Perhaps some color experts will have suggestions on specific colors....See MoreRelated Professionals
