Comments (11)@ Me Benson, getting rid of stuff is basically a decision you came to on your own before coming here. After you got here, it seems we agree with you. I gave you a lot of suggestions for what forms, shapes and sizes to put at various places. But you did not comment about whether any of those suggestions met your expectation, or were too far from them to be useful to you. With that kind of feedback, it's impossible for me o know if any further suggestion will be helpful to you....See More1940s ranch, exterior help needed
Comments (22)Good news about the wood siding. Your white house is classic.Lowering the contrast of the accents could be just enough of a change to help you see your house with new eyes. Both the asphalt shingles and your concrete sidewalk appear to have a greenish-gray undertone, so I would also encourage you to look at a gray like BM HC-168 Chelsea Gray for your shutters. The front door is a great place to have a little fun and with your very neutral background, pretty much any colour you choose will work. Go with your favorite bright colour for the front door and repeat the colour with planters or plantings....See MoreExterior Help Needed

Comments (25)The massing of the house is low so the last thing you should do is make it appear to have sunk into the foundation. That unfortunate effect is increased by the roof eaves touching the tops of the windows. Try raising the eaves and ceilings and adding a taller "frieze" board (not masonry) between the eaves and window heads. Increase the roof overhang; align the roof eaves and use one strongly horizontal cladding material. The front "porch" looks more like a portico which should appear ancillary to the house so it should not be masonry. The portico supports will be an opprotunity to add some interest to the house. Avoid the sunken house effect of columns on masonry bases. A lot of the above examples offer good guidance....See MoreRelated Professionals
