Should we paint our house exterior?
Comments (7)Well we couldn't resist and ended up painting. The final straw was a neighbor telling me that she always hated our brick color and I, of course, was very receptive to that nudge. If you'd like an update, check it out here on a little blog I created to show the progression: Cottage Mod THANK YOU for all the advice, guys!...See MoreWhat colors should we paint our house exterior?
Comments (0)We've bought a fixer upper and want to repaint the exterior. What color scheme would you recommend? We can't go too light as we have red soil which stains, as well as dogs and a kid. The roof tiles are pretty old but we're keeping them, and their color is a grey brown color as they are aged terracotta....See MoreJust bought our first house... what should we do with this exterior??
Comments (15)Have you considered a larger more sheltered entryway? Do seriously consider putting a roof between the left (garage) wing of the house and the right wing of the house for a larger covered portico, and adding porch/portico lighting in the ceiling of the new portico/porch.

One option would be to extend the roof on the right wing of the house: https://willophx.com/home-tour/ ... Another option would be to create a hip roof portico (preferably without the double bulky posts) : https://www.georgiafrontporch.com/portfolio_category/hip-roof/#prettyPhoto[gallery2935]/0/ ... Another option would be to create a rounded front for a flat roof of the portico, https://in.pinterest.com/pin/490610953134023345/ ... with the rounded part front of the flat (or nearly flat) portico roof extending in front of the front exterior wall of the house so it shelters the rounded front steps. By making the roof top of the portico deeper between its upper part (roof/balcony) and its lower part (ceiling), (with or without a railing), you could bridge the distance between the height of the two roof lines....See MoreWhat color should we paint the exterior of our home?
Comments (0)We dislike the yellowish, two-tone color scheme that our house had when we bought it and are considering painting it all one color, including the brick. The shingles will also be replaced soon. We want an earthy neutral tone in keeping with our wooded lot and are leaning toward greiges and sages. Any advice would be appreciated!...See MoreRelated Professionals
