Ideas for exterior enhancements
Hi! This house is in a coastal neighborhood on the west coast of Florida. Any ideas what you would do to the exterior to make it a little more interesting? Paint? Trim? Shutters? (Disregard the trash cans).
Thanks so much!

Comments (20)What an amazing home! Yes, I have seen that last photo's home tour before and loved it! It's what I first thought of when I was reading your vision. I think some black grid windows will look fantastic. I would also eliminate the rod iron Juliet balconies. I don't think removing them is diminishing the Spanish style at all. I wouldn't paint the brick. I think anything with the terra-cotta color is a huge plus. Down the road, a terra-cotta tile walk would look amazing coupled with a white stucco pony wall in place of the brick! I would remove all the shrubbery and focus on adding in succulents, which do well in the bay area naturally. Succulents will add in that soft green color that coordinates so well with the terra-cotta colors as well as add dimension and a sculptured element. I would leave the garage doors as is.

Comments (28)It doesn't look like the OP @Emily M has come back. But just in case, here's my 2 cents. It's a darling house on the outside, but there are things in the pictures that would make me look elsewhere. For example, it looks like there is damage in many of the rooms, like missing window sills and water damage (or mold) where wall meets floor. The picture below stands out to me for 3 reasons: Parking lot with commercial trucks next door; window trim pulled out or ???; is that water damage on the floor? Here's another one - why not discard whatever that is next to the house? It's hard for me to figure out what's going on here. Was there trim around the windows that was painted around, then ripped out and no repainting done? The picture is blurry so I can't really tell what I'm looking at, but it seems like trim was ripped out and not replaced. That makes me think it might be a foreclosure? Anyway, it would make me concerned. OP says gorgeous inside and out... maybe pictures don't do it justice, because what is this?...See More

2 years agoAdorable house. Love white on white. Brighter door color. Add a row of windows to the garage door. Add some plants that flower for color.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoI like the idea of an arbor over the garage. Replace a garage door panel with one with windows. It would look better. A bright color on the front door will enhance. I think a sunny gloss yellow. No to shutters. your windows are not right for them.
I would install a white picket fence near the house to form a front court garden. This is a great yellow door and I like the arbor gate, which you could have in line with your front door.

2 years agoI was just about to say the same as @jck910 Add a pergola over the garage and put some climbing flower vines on it--wisteria, clematis, or even roses. I'd maybe go with a more interesting paint color, too. Maybe take some inspiration from Caribbean homes, e.g. pink, mint green, coral, etc. Here are a few color schemes for inspiration:

What if you leave it as is, and "build out" with a planter bed ? You have a generous front lawn to accomodate it.
