Comments (9)Wow, you house is almost all brick. A lovely color at that. I would struggle to suggest a color, because I don't think it will be an improvement. Sorry. What ever paint was used on the back dormer is washing down on the brick. Maybe you can clean it off the brick and paint the dormer with a new paint meant for the outside. Khakii or light tans look really good with brick. Think about painting the clapboards and all of the trim. Prune the azaleas and other foundation plants. They are way too tall and are hiding your charming house. Maybe redo the planting of the slope so it isn't all ground cover. Paint the front door an interesting color....See MoreTudor Exterior Paint Makeover Help Please
Comments (18)@tozmo1 agree with you on the all solid color, which is why we were thinking siding. We've seen tudor half timbers painted same color as the stucco but haven't seen it executed well. We have the late 80's textured stucco, and everywhere we've read says it will be impossible to remove the timbers and patch without being able to spot it as a patch a mile away. At that point we're looking at removing all of the stucco and simply starting over. We're hoping to be able to save on costs by being able to go right over the existing stucco facade....See Morehome exterior makeover help
Comments (1)I dont usually like bricks painted, but, in your case, I would buy some paint especially for brick. Romabio. And I would color match the paint to your shakes, so house body is all one color. It looks very chopped up right now....See Moreexterior makeover help
Comments (5)The concrete planter around your tree is an interesting (and assumedly original?) feature, but nothing else in your landscape “talks” to it so to speak. With midcentury homes I think ‘poured-in-place’ concrete always looks good— it’s not that different from your paver idea, just at a more appropriate scale & function. Here’s a really bad rendering done with a fat thumb on my phone, but the gist would be to have larger rectangular concrete sections (could be gravel or grass in between) that abut your concrete planter, and having those surrounded by some nice native grasses with a another planted section in the middle, and then echo those same plants in your raised concrete planter around tree). Neat house!...See Moretatts
