Please help with curb appeal for small Florida house
Comments (6)As a part time resident, I'm guessing you look forward to a tropical get-away, with minimal maintenance. I would recommend the following low maintenance plants to look great year round: Hope Philodendron with Heliconia or Purple Queen would be a fun tropical look. Plumbego or Copper plant would make a simple, yet colorful low hedge-row if you prefer a more uniform semi-structured feel. Lantana, Dwarf bougainvillea or Fountain Grasses are some other hardy, easy-going yet colorful foundation plants that you can enjoy for years, then supplement with annuals while you are here. Enjoy!...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 MoreCurb appeal help with small porch on Ranch house
Comments (6)Not a Pro. What a great home! Love @Beverly ideas for your home. I would not paint the brick. Your home colors work. After you make those small changes, work on your landscaping.

Comments (6)Very cool house! Your view of course and location is worth the effort of painting. To enhance the architecture of the house, paint the house and trim the same color. I would suggest a fairly dark slate blue. Then the shape of the house would be unified and nestled into the landscape as it was originally designed to do. The contrast with your reddish roof would be nice. A nice extra large entrance "waterhog" mat at your front door in a dark blue to cover the concrete in front of the door would be useful. Your front door could go brick red, or navy blue. You could have one bench or chair to the right of your door. Keep your landscaping simple around the front door. Maybe a water feature or bird bath with day lilies around it or some other easy perennial. Line your walkway with low growing plants and keep them uniform. You could scatter some pots around the back with flowers of your choice....See MoreRed Berry Farm
