Curb appeal for 1950s ranch with hidden door? Holidays are a Pain!
Comments (19)Regardless of hidden front door you have tons of options as people have mentioned. If I were you, I would get some large outdoor ornaments to hang in the tree- lots of fun colorful ones or all red. (I actually do this with a redbud tree in my side yard.) You could even make some out of styrofoam balls and paint if you're handy and want a project- then they could look however you wanted! You can buy ($$$) or make ($) a large wreath for biggest portion of picture window (like as tall as that section of window is) and it could be lit or not. And get smaller wreaths for the normal sized windows on that front portion of house (the one to right of picture window and the one over behind the car). Swag some real or fake garland on railings (Trader Joes has great real evergreen garland for about $7/8-10 feet piece) and add white lights (or colorful lights if that is your jam)....See MoreCurb appeal advice for a side entry door and flat exterior house?
Comments (10)You have an acre of pavement in front of your house. Frankly, no house with a parking lot for a yard ever looks charming. And you have a less-than-lovely hose reel to water the plants you don't have. Tear up the pavement in the area between the garage and the chimney and plant some greenery. Make sure you have a shrub tall enough to cover the hose and pipes. The pergolas won't match the style of your house and it will just look odd, IMHO....See MoreFront Door Curb Appeal
Comments (10)The doors are fine as is. And Beverly's suggestion for the trim is right on target. I HIGHLY suggest you start reading up on craftsman style bungalows, which is what you have. I hope if you have wood trim inside, you're not planning on painting it to look like an HGTV remuddle....See Morecurb appeal help! front door color etc
Comments (6)I would work on the landscaping. add bigger lights on the sides of the door, i would do brass to match the colonial style. they dont need to be huge, but to scale for your house size. For door color, i would match the shutters or paint the shutters black and do the door in a different color. Also do you face south? if so, i would consider removing the storm door in warm virginia. i had to do that - it was baking and warping my door....See MoreM 2
