So much decking, curb appeal ideas please!
Comments (14)I don't think glass panels are the right kind of look for a house like this, and that's a lot of outdoor glass to keep clean. But replacing the slats with something thinner is an option -- cable, thin conduit, or skinnier wood slats. This is what the conduit would look like (the top pic used a thinner pipe). I bet it would look really nice if that part was painted black. Here's a more creative application. More work, but it's pretty:...See MoreZone 3 - Curb appeal ideas
Comments (8)Fruit trees can be a real PITA because if you don't spray for pests and do all the things you need to do to have them turn out edible and then pick them at the right time, the fruit falls off the trees, creating a mess in your yard that attracts insects, particularly bees. I suggest instead you plant something that flowers in the spring and has nice fall foiiage. I am not the right person to tell you what that would be in your area....See MoreCurb appeal ideas please
Comments (14)I sure would not paint the brick but remove those shutters they do not belong on most of those windows. I like Beverly's ideas for the steps and those for sure can be used for inspiration with the pond idea. Where I live the ponds obviuos in the landscaping often need fencing to protect kids so check that out the other option is a dry river bed for interest and the occassional down pour. IMO you need a real good landscape architect for the plan and work needed unless you are very good at hard labour....See MoreNeed Curb Appeal Ideas 1970’s Rambler
Comments (7)Can you show more of the house? All of the front in one photo, close-ups of porch area, front door, and beds. Are the sides and back brick, siding, or both? Are there awnings over the windows? In the meantime, there are lots of trim colors that could look nice. Here are a few, search ’blonde brick trim colors’ for more: https://www.coloradocolorconsultants.com/2021/08/24/top-5-paint-colors-for-blonde-brick/ If you’re keeping the metal columns, I’d paint them whatever trim color you decide. Otherwise look into replacing with wood columns (sell or give away the metal ones, they’re popular for projects). For landscaping advice, we’d need to know what area of the country you’re in, a better idea of budget and planting experience, and close-up photos. The tree definitely needs trimming up. The porch could be more welcoming and inviting with seating (chairs or bench), potted plants, maybe a table. There are usually good deals on seating sets — two chairs and table. I don’t know your style to be more specific … if it was me, I’d go retro with porch furniture, new or look for vintage. Also — did you just move in, or have lived there a while, or are planning to sell? More context would be helpful. :) ETA: Retro outdoor furniture: There are quite a few threads on Houzz with houses similar to yours, this is one from a couple of years ago: https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/6210115/blonde-brick-home-accent-trim...See MoreK Laurence
