help - i need advice about my 1930's California Tudor home
Comments (4)Hi, we have a 1931 Minnesota Tudor. In doing research on it I have found the most information in books and web sites on "Bungalows" and "Arts and Crafts". If it is like ours it is considered a Tudor Bungalow and the inside is mainly like the bungalows I have seen. We are re-modeling ours using Mission furniture and arts and craft's colors. If you look into bungalows you will find a lot on porches I don't think decks were used. Most of the Tudors if they have a porch it is in the back. Our neighborhood has many Tudors and only two have a front deck, both are without railings to keep the Tudor lines. Many people put in a front patio that is not attached to the house. This probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but do look at Bungalow and Arts and Crafts sites and books....See MoreHelp me with my 1917 Tudor exterior!
Comments (7)Color challenge! Tudors are notoriously difficult & best left relatively traditional. I would repaint the stucco, eliminate the gold tone, choose a color that blends with the stone. Keep the brown, it could be tweaked slightly. Paint first & then judge the brick on stone area. if it's still bugging you, you could paint the brick a color that blends with the stone. I would probably avoid the huge change of roofline, but it's up to you....See MorePaint scheme question
Comments (9)It doesn't clash and gives a softer, less harsh look that I find more pleasing. If it were me I probably would have painted the trim the same color as the house because I don't like chopped-up exteriors, but the gray will go well with the roof....See MoreHelp me match brick on my 1930s Tudor
