Need help with paint colors for 1950s brick ranch house
Comments (2)I love, love, love blonde brick. It has such a lovely golden color. Are you sure you can't work with it instead of painting over it? It has a great midcentury style to it that I find appealing....See MoreHelp updating Curb appeal of 1950s bungalow
Comments (8)Thanks @Nelly Bluth definitely think that some dimension would help and thought about doing something above the entryway. I think cost might be the primary concern for that type of addition though, perhaps down the line could be something to add. Were you thinking of something just above the entryway or something that would extend further the the window on the left hand side? We do have to replace the windows regardless for life cycle updates so will likely do either way....See MoreCurb appeal help - 1950s FL Ranch
Comments (18)These are 38" wide, which should work for your all of your windows if you use two on the larger window. They would have to be attached with hinges and then a rod to keep them open. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/shutters-by-design-pine-bermuda-bahama-shutter-single-shut2579.html...See MoreOrange brick 1950's ranch please help picking a new shutter color?
Comments (14)try using a latex paint remover. you can find it at the big stores. grab a stiff wire brush and a bucket of water. it should work enough so that you don't see it. I photoshopped a few doors/colors/address plaques and lights for you. see what you like. ('cuz that 1950's grandma front door needs to go along w/those shutters!) I like the black option w/copper. the copper will compliment the brick color and the black always looks good w/both I like this door. And, you might think about painting the trim around the windows (did you notice I covered up all your shutters?? looks good huh?) in a darker trim color. gave you this mahogany glass panel door. modern black numbers, a modern chair. I'd paint the other door one of these dark colors, bring in a more modern light. If black is too harsh, think about Urbane Bronze or Iron Ore. both look great w/orange brick. try something modern like this w/the numbers, potted plants, lighting, Here is an orange brick house with complimentary colors and light fixtures. another nice door color is a peacock blue, sage, blue/green, tone soft blue/green with copper and your orange brick always look good Yam color door, bronze light, warm wood and gray tones also work. Here's a door w/natural wood. black mailbox and light (but I like the others above better) are those posts cedar or painted? These color palettes are also perfect w/your brick. (don't forget to paint your side door too....See MoreKatie Em
