Comments (40)When you retell the story of how they came to be yours, it seems that you had more of an option to reject them than you originally related. I suggest that you exercise that option. I had one such sofa for many years that was bequeathed to me via my parents who got it from some antique dealer. It was a real old one with horsehair in the cushions. I even paid to have it reupholstered. I always hated it and finally got rid of it. I tell my kids to just tell me when they don't want something. Actually, I am extremely mindful of passing anything down to them. They have their own stuff. If they want it, they can have it when I am gone. I'll bet that even Queen Ann, herself, would not like these overly ornate and supremely uncomfortable seats. I'll bet that even she would get rid of it and have what she wanted. LOL!! Have the inlaws gone on to a more modern style while leaving their old one for you? That might make some sense if you are just starting off in life, but you seem to indicate that you are not still standing on the starting line. You are not going to get where you want to go via their aesthetics. And, as others have advised, don't build it in....See MoreModern exterior needed, updated.
Comments (33)The house itself is asymmetrical, both stories. I think you need a professional to design a new roofline for the porch, and this is where the bulk of your money will go. Your two inspiration pictures are of White House’s with black framed windows. Forget shutters, they need to go. Paint the house a nice, creamy shade of white. Whatever color you choose, paint the garage doors the same unless you are replacing them with more modern looking doors. I would go ahead and paint the window frames charcoal. You will need a charcoal roof when it’s time to reshingle. Cut down the shrubs. That front porch area is what is really defining the house, and once you redesign that area, the rest of the house will flow from there....See MoreNeed help with a modern twist to exterior Snout House
Comments (21)Some great ideas here but if you've just moved in you probably have a long list of projects. For a quick fix if time and budget don't allow for all this right now, paint the garage door a dark gray, and add dark gray/black squares in the loose stones. Paint window trim dark if you can. Paint the front door a MCM colour, and paint the screen the same colour if you have to keep it for now. See if you can remove the grids from your window. Add a hedge of grasses across the front, and maybe along the path too. Remove the wreath and window box. Big house numbers, maybe even painted very large on the garage door in a MCM style font....See MoreKate
