Help me pick an exterior color to update my boring ranch
Comments (3)Good morning! What color is the brick? The picture is fairly dark and when I enlarged it, it was still difficult to get a sense of color because on my monitor there doesn't appear to be any variations of tone. Can you take a couple more pictures of your house when the sun is shining on the front side? First one from same spot as this picture and then another one facing the full front would be good. Is the brick only in the front of your house?...See MorePlease Help! Exterior update 50's lake ranch- siding/roof/appeal
Comments (13)Curious as to what you ended up doing if you happen to see this comment. I am in the same situation except my door is in front and I’m not on a lake. I also have 1/2 of my house front entrance to huge garage that wont be moved. Thanks for answering if you see this and have time....See MoreUpdate - Boring Brick Ranch Advice
Comments (10)The house is mostly brick and what you a re looking at is the before. We have since removed the railings, added bronze lighting and replaced the door with a dark brown door, we widened the walkway and massively landscaped. Photo #2, 3 and 4 is a better idea of todayt’s look. I want to replace the white siding with a better color and would like to consider either a wood composite or a color of siding that will help modernize our little rambler....See More50s Ranch-style Home Exterior Update and Curb Appeal Help
Comments (5)Thank you, both! I certainly understand and appreciate where you are coming from. Waiting has been our mindset for a long time. We have lived here for ten years mostly focusing on saving, doing infrastructure projects, and tackling smaller landscaping projects (it is on 3+ acres and much has been done in the back). It doesn't look like much now (spring has not really arrived where we are) but the beds will be full with plants soon as it warms and we always plant annuals, planters, pots, and baskets. The greenery always does wonders to make it look more welcoming! We have gone back and forth about waiting. Unfortunately, the paint has been slowly running off the house when it rains since we moved in, some places are down to bare aluminum, and the deck has not been done for three years and is in need of painting anyway. We feel like we need to address it now in order to maintain the house and keep from opening ourselves up to bigger issues down the line. Aside from the painting (which we plan to do ourselves) the other projects should not be impacted when we renovate (patio furniture, trellis, steps, etc.). A good chunk of the funds will go toward furniture and based on our budget estimates. The paint and associated supplies will represent a much smaller portion....See MoreTerra Terra L
