Exterior help and ideas
Comments (9)Thanks for the ideas everyone! I guess I'm just getting tired of looking at trash in front after so many months of construction - but I agree, with landscaping and landscape lights it'll be great. With the wood windows, I could paint the sashes another color. We are trying to stay true to the historic district - so we won't do anything crazy. Kec01 - I'm so excited that it looks to you like it used to be a house because it started out as that hideous 1950s fourplex - and was an eyesore to the street filled with 1920s craftsman and tudor homes. we definitely have prairie influences with those deep eaves, but that's not a commmon design element in our area. It is a tile roof - to make repairs we had to find some reclaimed off a house in Ohio (we're in NC). There are some copper accents (chimney, hip flashing), we'd use copper on the porch roof too - but it turns to bronze so quickly we couldn't justify the huge expense over aluminum....See MoreHelp!

Comments (9)THe inspo pics are so much differnt than your house , what are you planning to change if anything other than the siding color. I probaly would do a dark gray and too bad the brick is painted such a glaring white . Maybe give us some idea of any other changes you are planning. I think painting the siding and then doing a really interesting landscaping would be a good idea . This is one of my faves for MCM landscaping maybe it might appeal to you Notice the gray color the front door and the garge door to get that MCM look....See MoreClaire Vahue
