Need exterior ideas Badd.. please show your ideas
Comments (38)The "free" mockups are usually for people without a PRO designation. If you need a mockup the expense should have been part of the business plan for your renovation. Did you get a quote from Celery? Was it too expensive?...See MoreFront Door color ideas and exterior DIY update ideas???
Comments (2)I'm not a fan of beige, but your real problem right now is that you took a picture on a gray day when your grass looks dead. I'd paint the door a brighter color and take another picture on a better day....See MoreNeed paint color ideas for exterior.
Comments (14)I will be the outlier. I think the brick center section just breaks up the home and makes it scream builder development circa 1994. The form of the house is a nice classic American vernacular Victorian, that illusion is destroyed by the mix of materials and the arched windows on the first floor. If I had monopoly money the arched windows would go away as would the brick and I would side the whole house with one consistent siding material. Barring that, painting the brick to match the siding!would at least make the whole thing read as one house. No you can’t use interior wall paint on brick, but there are plenty of paints made expressly for painting exterior brick, and it holds up fine. People have been Painting brick for centuries and If done correctly does not cause any excessive maintenance issues....See MoreNeed Exterior Ideas
Comments (7)Has construction started on the house yet? If not, consider posting the floor plans, exterior elevations, and site plan for suggestions on how to improve the design. The elevation drawing posted give me clues that there may be other areas in the design that can improve. As always . . . WARNING: Posting your entire house design opens you up to facts you may not want to know, but should. Be prepared for suggestions that will make for a better design. Keep a thick skin, open mind, sense of humor, and a glass of wine within arms reach. You may not enjoy it, but everyone else will and you will be better off in the long run if you heed well the advice....See MoreM C
