How to update the facade of our boring 70's ranch?
Comments (33)Wow... lots of ideas! The weathered cedar shingles are beautiful and I regret not keeping that look. But I couldn't find any siding manufacturers with vinyl shingles when we replaced the cedar shingles back in the mid 1990's. Today they make a variety of beautiful products. Love these Certainteed shakes in Sable Brown: I also hate the white trim around the gambrel on my house. I don't know what I was thinking when we had it installed. But I do like the brown siding. (Sorry kswl and chickadee2. But I appreciate your honest opinions!) All the homes in our area have either white, tan or yellow siding. I wanted something different. (Ha! I certainly achieved that!) Although we can't afford to cover the white trim and/or replace the siding now I'll get some estimates. At least it's something we can budget for. So back to the door. I need to cover the blue. I visited our local BM dealer and chatted with the decorator about door color. She listened patiently to my sob story about how DH doesn't want a black door and how I would love to have a red door. Well she found the perfect red: BM Country Redwood. ("Nobody has ever returned Country Redwood") It's similar to the Cottage Red that I love but a tad more orange. I painted the door last weekend and just love it! Makes the door the focal point of the house. Will post photos as soon as we get a sunny day to take a picture....See MoreUpdating 70's Spanish Ranch Exterior
Comments (6)I really like Beverly’s suggestions. White with wrought iron and maybe dark wood. Unfortunateky, I think your brown roof is the element that’s going to throw off any efforts to modernize the exterior....See MoreCurb Appeal update 70's high ranch
Comments (18)You may want to investigate how to change the stain color. It might be hard to go from dark to light. Here's a chat (random advice) https://www.bobvila.com/posts/9355-stained-wood-siding-can-we-change-the-color When you say you need to paint, which surfaces do you mean, the stained wood, the door, the garage door? Can you repaint the window trim or is that white vinyl? I love groveraxle's pics (!) but some of them show different windows--not sure if you're in the market for that....See MoreExterior Paint Color for 70's Brick Ranch
Comments (7)No dark browns. Cream and red brick is classic. If you are a bit more adventurous you can do a bit of blue or green with some cream. This brick isn't as dark as yours, but I think the blue and cream they used would be great colors on your home as well....See MoreRelated Professionals
