80's Home Exterior Update - HELP
Comments (1)Gorgeous! It's supposed to be earthy so I'd stick with browns (I never say that! but it works here) or greens. Maybe something sagey?...See MoreHelp! The exterior of my home is something from the 80s!
Comments (7)Just another viewpoint on an aside mentioned above... Someone said your roof clashes with the brick, but on my monitor (and what I've seen in real life of what I suspect is your brick color), I think the roof color is great! It also picks up the exterior light fixtures and your lamp post colors. There's no reason that charcoal and beige can't look great together, and are often used. I agree with the changes you plan to implement. I think the spring growth will also help it look less bare and provide some needed color....See MoreUpdate my exterior paint from the 80s:)
Comments (13)Hi, yes You are in a big hurry, but don't hurry too much. The house has good visual basics, we only have to free them using right color. I don't know why but I realised that You have to slightly lighten facade and repaint shutters to other not hot color, such as this color used in Deauville, the place of American Film festival is held yearly. This color is very stylish and its difficultm not simple, in its best way. Alternatively, You can use off-gray but for me its dull. Also, the basic columns of the fences are too slim. Use something to thick them as I showed on the sketch. I would leave them in whites and additional fences on stairs are needed. Also the backyard fence can be cleaned, polished and painted with this "Deauville green" color, it also would be very stylish and make a reference to a good taste)) Overall, I woulld use 2 colors + white fences. I even would not touch the bricks (You can wash them and cover with defence liquid), or You can make this other year. You have a lot of work this time so don't try to do ALL simultenously. Hope this works. Good luck!...See MoreHelp! Need to update 80's ranch style house with dated stone exterior
Comments (19)I am no landscaping expert, but even something like this makes your entry more important. I'm sure that someone else will have some better ideas on how to improve this area and make it more welcoming. OK just saw the entrance image. Are we going for a contemporary home or an olde tyme cottage home?????? Have their been some changes to the original building?? The reason I ask is that I was getting ready to propose a contemporary garage door to go with your boulder stones. Which was do you want to go???...See MoreHU-489615411
