advice on exterior paint colors: front door, garage door, curb appeal
Comments (14)Snap a photo on a sunny day then use the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap app to play with the colors. I would select a tone slightly darker than your mortar for the garage door and a color slightly darker than your darkest brick for the front door. I would then on the garage door install magnetic faux hinges and windows; this will add detail to the door, like the below house. I know they can be found on Amazon, not sure where else.

Comments (15)Shutters should appear to be operable, so they would need to be as wide as the window... so if closed, they would cover the window. So no shutters on your house. I agree with taking out the boxwood that have been butchered. If you take the bed all the way to the sidewalk, you need a pocket bed on the left side. Yes to learn more about pruning the Crepe Myrtle. Ever heard of Crepe Murder? It's a thing. LOL Honestly you don't even have to prune them. We had several over 30ft tall at our last house, but you don't want one too tall right next to the house. Having lived in the South all my life, I don't have a problem with the grass since we get rain. No idea where you live, but the grass looks healthy.

Comments (15)Great house! Try painting the shutters the same color as the rest of the trim, but remove the shutters from the upper window - they don't fit. Then try medium to dark wood color or shiny dark green for the door, with a big brass knocker. The tree to the right of the door just needs to be thinned so you can see a little more of the house. I'm not sure about Cousin Itt, it's probably best to ask your tree service about what can be done with it; it would be expensive to remove. Good luck, I hope you succeed with your offer....See MoreNeed help on paint colors and curb appeal
