Comments (6)Since your house is better in light colours, I wonder whether a limewash on the brick (not a paint) would work well. Then a lighter coloured siding would look very good too. Limewash doesn't peel and is less expensive to do than painting. Might make the house more comfortable in summer if that side of the house is lighter coloured. https://www.renovationsroofing.com/blog/limewash-brick-exterior https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/644929609112851344/?nic_v1=1ae2HACXJWRZ3F2ueyZryohW%2FkASwE3%2B%2FseAeQNrG1%2BJ8bd7Q3qtnt3S7y0%2FMfki%2B7 https://www.sharperimpressionspainting.com/recent-projects/limewash-brick-exterior-house-painting-before-after-photos...See More1970s ranch exterior help needed!
Comments (6)Definitely pull out the overgrown shrubs that are blocking the view of and entry to the house. Plan to sod the lawn and plant up that area between the walk and house. Also remove the inserts in the garage door windows. The photo is so poor we can't tell much about the details. Shutters on multiple windows are usually just decorative. You can remove them if the difference in brick color in not noticeable. If replacing windows, you might try a different muntin configuration. They look pretty busy with so many panes. Provide better pix and a close up of the brick for better ideas....See More1970’s lake house exterior remodel- need help picking color scheme
Comments (3)Back of home, during construction. There will be another deck between the white siding and sunroom windows. Under the deck will be closed in and made into a shed. We'll need to decide what kind of siding and what colors we'll use for that....See MoreExterior colors and landscaping for 1970s ranch
Comments (8)I suggest painting the siding a green similar to what Dig Dog showed in his first picture. A soft, sage-ish green (not taupe). It will look lovely with your brick and then do a black roof. Have fun with this project-I bet your grandmother would be thrilled to see you in her home....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
