Exterior Help Needed
Comments (4)Painting the vertical trim the same color as the stucco or painting the stucco the same color as the trim should help. If you are lucky, some of the photo shop people on here will show you what painting the stucco the same color as the trim; vertical trim the same color as the stucco; and all the trim the same color as the stucco would look like....See MoreSplit Level Exterior Help!

Comments (19)Just remove the shutters and see how that looks. I don't think painting windows with black is going to enhance the house--just adds another element and you do have a brown roof, not black. A much warmer white for the middle would work better with yellow stone and brown roof. Save $$$ for a beautiful landscape design to further beautify the house. But what you have is pretty nice right now. It's important in a newly purchased house to go a year before making landscaping changes so you can see how the plantings look in all seasons. It's great you have quite a few evergreens for year round color--and no leaves to rake!...See MoreHouse exterior help needed
Comments (25)The massing of the house is low so the last thing you should do is make it appear to have sunk into the foundation. That unfortunate effect is increased by the roof eaves touching the tops of the windows. Try raising the eaves and ceilings and adding a taller "frieze" board (not masonry) between the eaves and window heads. Increase the roof overhang; align the roof eaves and use one strongly horizontal cladding material. The front "porch" looks more like a portico which should appear ancillary to the house so it should not be masonry. The portico supports will be an opprotunity to add some interest to the house. Avoid the sunken house effect of columns on masonry bases. A lot of the above examples offer good guidance....See Morehouse exterior help needed
Comments (42)" Other posts were deleted because they only received a couple comments that didn’t pertain. Im unsure why I need to justify removing my own posts on the internet? If you don’t like, move along…I don’t like to have lots of threads floating around. If you actually read this post, you can see that the foundation has been poured. So your comments are null. Thanks. " Good luck with your project. I will move along as well. Maybe the internet is not he place for you if you cannot learn to scroll past info you do not like. You give half answers, do not answer questions and then get mad when you do get the answers you want. Again, good luck with your project....See MoreSigrid
