Help with exterior paint colors and any landscaping ideas please!
Comments (6)I think a medium toned olive would be nice. Too dark, and your roof and house will just blend in together. I would do an warm white trim, not stark white. A rusty red for the front door would really stand out against the olive. Or, consider a warm fall gold color. Be sure you paint the garage door the same color as the house, otherwise the white or off-white massive door will be the focal point. Gate the same as the house color, with the raised panels in the trim color. I would get rid of the overgrown bush to the left of the garage and put a nice planter there instead. I would also think about creating a curved bed that comes from the right side of the house and meanders down to the point where the little sidewalk turns to the front door - right at the point of the angle. That lawn space isn't really useful, but a pretty bed of low plantings and bushes that come up along the front of the house will take the eye to that area of the home, and bring it forward to balance the garage being so far to the front. It is a charming house, and your new colors will really make it feel even more welcoming....See Moreany and all ideas welcome for small kitchen re-model
Comments (35)@archie123... sorry for the confusion. Here's the link to the fruit basket: http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-876607/?affsrcid=Aff0001&CAWELAID=120120820000003598&cagpspn=pla thanks bicylegirl! ;) @mtnrdredux-- Well, i will definitely consider not putting up the subway tile. It isn't done yet because we are in stall mode right now! The subway tile was always part of the plan because I love them so much. I thought perhaps I would use a grey grout to tie in the cabinets. We'll see-- I'm going to give it another couple of weeks to think about. Thanks for all the feedback!...See MoreExterior Help- any ideas welcome!
Comments (11)Could you show some more of the actual house from all sides as is. I agree whoever is coming up with this plan needs to step away. This is a nice house and needs some TLC but be careful to not let them try to make it something it is not. The 1 st thing I would address is all the weird different sized windows , what is the reason for that?Since that seems to be the place for the entry I would want to have a multi teired deck going to the front door it would be a lot more attractive than what you have and also tie into a larger deck on top.Then the patio could be larger and a lot more usuer friendly.I can’t seem to find a picture but what you need is to make that entry special and inviting so this kind of idea but of course designed for your house it would allow for the larger deck above and the and a much easier walk up the entry.bigger patio,...See MoreHelp me choose an exterior paint color - and any updating ideas?
Comments (4)Of the two colors you are considering, I think Blue Depths is a better color. A pergola, like this in white from your front door along the side of the building would look really charming. The lattice is very pretty. You could move the steps to the front door out to the front more and let the rain leader come straight down....See Moreblaze_1508
