Comments (18)Sorry for your disappointment. Many online design services are disappointing! I don’t think your house itself needs much. I would focus more on the landscaping. As others have mentioned a new front door would be nice, but that can be expensive. Painting it might be a good temporary solution. Many colors look good with red brick: blues and greens almost always work, as does black. You don’t need a lot of plants - hopefully one of the mock-up artists will jump in and give you some ideas. Is it possible to move the driveway to end at the side of the house instead of running right up to the front door? I think that would be nicer. Define the driveway with edging material. I see you have flood lights, but a nice porch light or coach light could also add interest....See MoreExterior Design Ideas Please
Comments (17)Remove the window boxes from underneath the upstairs windows. They are a water problem waiting to happen. Landscaping will be your friend after you finish painting. I like the brown/gray tones from your stonework. Love your front door, although it might require refinishing to bring back the depth of color in the wood. Lovely home!...See MoreExterior Design Dilemma Seeking Facade Decor / Improvement Advice
Comments (10)You are a dare devil for chopping off the deck on your split ranch, and I love it. I just had a blast scribbling on your house too! Your last inspiration pic gives you a great spring board. Focus on creating new squares and rectangles that align with and distract from your current windows. Create a shallow trellis around the first floor doors - center the left on the middle of your 2nd story triple doors, and center the right on the middle of your 2nd story double windows. Make an iron railing outside the second story doors, a very shallow balcony the same depth as the trellis and line it with some pots of greenery. Make a rectangular hedge around the patio to give more geometry for the eye to focus on away from the wall of the house. Add in ground trees on the left, with some heft. Towards the middle and right go for tall evergreens set in urns, mixed with some shorter ones. Something else needs to happen with the second story far left window and far right double windows. Not sure what....See MoreExterior design
