How to update exterior of 70's raised ranch house
Comments (2)Post this on the home decorating page. I am sure they will give you some great advice. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/decor...See MoreRaised Ranch Exterior Needs Help! What would you do?
Comments (6)Thank you Doug and Denita for your ideas. Doug, I love your landscaping ideas and the garage awning change. I had not thought of making it dark like that, but it looks really nice. Denita, I shuddered when I saw your comment about my shutters. I always thought mine were sized right. I walk around my neighborhood cringing at ill sized shutters. Do you think mine are too long? wide? And I agree about the ones on the large window. I would love to take them off, but it will leave holes in the siding which I think will be uglier than the shutters...Those might have to stay until new siding. Thank you both!...See MoreHelp!!

Comments (15)Your home isn't ugly. The flowering tree (tulip tree?) is especially lovely. While the rock probably wouldn't have been my first choice, neither would the pale blue/gray siding. If you're considering repainting anyway, do consider a darker gray for the siding and trim -- the darkest in the stone -- with a very dark gray or even black for the fascia....See MoreRaised Ranch Exterior Color Help
