60’s home needs new paint! Should I paint the brick?
Comments (1)I would white wash the brick and keep the house the same color take the screen door off and paint the front door a midnight blue. I like the color of the shutters too...See Morewondering if I should paint my brick house. if so, what color
Comments (14)If you had more appropriately sized shutters they would look better. They are too narrow. White ones. Or deep brown. They need to contrast with the brick. Limb up that tree. It’s a nice tree but it’s hanging too low. (Actually, limb up BOTH trees.) Remove the bushes in front of the sidewalk (to the right of the door) and replace with a really low groundcover. The bushes on the other side of the door look great. I can’t tell - is that a ramp? Are railings required near the door? And do you have room for a BIG pot of flowers by the door? Overall, the house looks very neat and well kept. The grass is nice....See Morewhat color should I paint my house with red brick?
Comments (14)Thank you all for the input! @hallettco, I appreciate the run down on what is involved with the trim, I had no idea it was that much work. Since we are at the end of the renovation that started in October, and they've already finished repairing the siding on the back, I don't think it is wise for us to start cutting up the siding! At least I know now to rule that out. It sounds like re: shutters that we should remove them from the horizontal windows and bay window (assuming that the brick looks ok underneath, we shall see). @Patricia Colwell and @houssaon, I'm curious what you mean about the size of the shutters? They are taller than the glass part of the windows, so I'm not sure how much bigger they could get?...See MoreHelp please--What color/s would you choose for our coastal home?
Comments (22)Thank you for your ideas, Kendrah and Maureen. Kendrah, the current colors ARE really nice together—but they’re not “right” for us. Hopefully, the ones we end up choosing will be as graceful together. Maureen, I love the pictures you posted and the look of hinged shutters that can actually close, but we don’t have enough wall space on our porch to have that kind on the four front porch windows (or around our door) because of the sconces and doorbell. We took down the shutters that were on the ground floor because we thought they were too skimpy (and, unfortunately, can’t be any larger). We could have larger shutters made for our three upstairs windows (which would include the one over the garage)—but not for the front porch windows....See MoreRelated Professionals
