Suggestion please - how to improve curb appeal of my NJ coastal home
Comments (6)You have a great house. I love your front porch. New landscaping will add tremendous curb appeal. Right now the big bushes in front of your home don't say "Welcome Home" they look more like a barrier. Dig Doug has posted a more modern landscaping design. You can also meet with a local landscape designer to work out a plan that you can implement over time. I would remove all the shutters. Your windows are too large for those size shutters especially the picture window to the left of the front door. But even the double windows are too large for those small shutters. I think your home will look much better without any shutters at all. Here is a brief article on shutters Shutters vs Shudders I'll see if I can find an insp pic that suits your home....See MoreHome Office Design - Improvement Suggestions?
Comments (29)I will give you some thought starters... assuming you go with the metal and wood shelving you posted above.

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 MoreRelated Professionals
