Comments (5)Hope you're having fun dreaming about your outdoor space! I agree that some simple landscaping could really create an inviting space for the front of this exterior, but fresh paint could make a big difference, too. Pay attention to the color combinations you see on other houses & try playing with color on a website like https://certapro.com/paint-color-ideas/. Or if you're up for something a bit more substantial, you could create a craftsman look over your porch which would give it more substantial curb appeal! I'm not crafty enough to do even a rough rendering of a craftsman look, but accidentally uploaded what I did, so don't judge me! LOL :)...See MorePlease help me update my home exterior on a budget!
Comments (26)Best use of 2K would be replacing those arched windows with rectangular ones. Maybe tall ones, the height to the top of the arch.

Comments (4)It's better to continue a thread that you started before, rather than start a new one. Is there brick on the sides and back of your house, or only what we see on the front? You never answered that question on the old thread. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5926790/paint-brick-to-match-siding Before you decide on shutters, try to clean the part of the siding where you removed one. If you can't clean it then they must stay. Hard to tell from your picture - is your new garage door wood and won't be painted? You haven't mentioned landscaping which will make the most difference in your house's appearance, and by far the biggest bang for your buck. You have almost no front yard landscaping....See MoreGinkgo Leaf Studio
