any suggestions for making balcony storage more attractive?
Comments (7)A wicker basket...that sounds like just the look I'd like...but do you think it could remain outdoors 24/7...stand up to rain and snow? As for the Container Store, I do love that place but have never seen anything outdoorsy looking...the only thing that might stand up would be their plastic containers I'd imagine....though I did just find this which could look a bit more outdoorsy than plastic boxes...though I'm not so keen on the black rubber look...but I will keep it as a potential item too. So thanks! Here is a link that might be useful: container store...See MoreHow to make home elevation more attractive ?
Comments (45)It looks like a generic tract home in a builder neighborhood similar to where we used to live. I would accept it for what it is and not spend too much on the house. The only things I'd do would be to upgrade the front door and mailbox, edge the walkway and driveway with bricks to match the house, plant a tree and fill out the shrubbery. Hang seasonal wreaths on your new front door and maybe add some urns with decorative plants on either side of the porch. Eventually I might replace the cheap builder grade lanterns with nicer and larger ones. Anything else is honestly overkill for that house and neighborhood. As for replacing the brick with siding I wouldn't do that because it will make your house worth less. I hate houses with brick on just front but in a neighborhood with brick fronts it will make your house stand out not in a good way because buyers will expect the brick....See MoreHelp with curb appeal- making 1950's small house look more modern
Comments (20)I think this house (already is really cute, and) would look great in a stark white/black combo or even off-black/black combo. I love shrubs but this one is big enough that the scale looks odd to me. You CAN rejuvenation prune it and see what happens. Or remove it go with the some spiky grasses, cast iron plants, a blue-green hosta, or if your climate allows, even snake plants. I think all of those would look great. I don't see colorful flowers in front of this one. And just for good measure, that house is so cute!...See MoreHow could I make this home look more traditional? (on a budget)
Comments (16)I like the house - not so much the color but that's a relatively easy fix. Could use better landscaping instead of those two boring clumps. At any rate what is most important to me is the interior of the house and how it would feel to actually live in it. I don't spend much time looking at the exterior of my house. The interior of many houses would be a non-starter for me rather than the exterior. Theoretically I would love to live in a house that had true architectural style but the exterior of most homes are not so wildly attractive that it matters to me - most of them were built by builders anyway to appeal to whatever was the mass common appeal at the time....See Moreauntannie123
