Curb appeal help needed for my overly busy 1950's bungalow.
Comments (22)We use the front door as an entry, it has a couple planets on it, I rant to decorate it a little bit more with a little bistro set maybe! I am looking for more budget friendly fixes currently since we are hoping for an addition on the back at some point and my husband does not want to put too much into the front, so if i can think of a good fix that's affordable then it's manageable! He is also amazing at diy and reno projects and my brother is a contractor so that helps!...See MoreCurb appeal help - 1950s FL Ranch
Comments (18)These are 38" wide, which should work for your all of your windows if you use two on the larger window. They would have to be attached with hinges and then a rod to keep them open. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/shutters-by-design-pine-bermuda-bahama-shutter-single-shut2579.html...See MorePlease Help!! -1912 Craftsman Bungalow curb appeal needed
Comments (7)Adorable house. Take the shutters off the front door and dormer window. Leave them off, they don't belong there. Fixing the front porch steps will go a long way. I agree that a knowledgable local nursery can help with foundation plantings. It's hard for us to address the plantings as we don't know where the house is located. Considering the red siding, a navy or black front door would be fun. Benjamin Moore Hale Navy is a great color, and you can never go wrong with black. Be very CAREFUL whenever you do replace the windows. To do them right and period appropriate will not be an inexpensive job. So many people slap on cheap vinyl windows that have nothing to do with the vintage of the home. Nothing bastardizes a house like the wrong cheap vinyl windows. My daughter is replacing her windows in phases so she can do them correctly. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Enjoy....See MoreNeed suggestions for updating the outside of this 1950s bungalow
Comments (11)What a cute little bungalow! The biggest impact will be removing or cutting WAY down on the bushes! They are hiding all that brick! Next, I think green or blue always look good with red brick. If you REALLY want a like green door, then maybe you could paint the trim lime too and the siding a cream color....See MoreDenita
