What a cute house! I illustrated it in the choices you made and it looks great! The black door gives it a "chic" look along with a new large black sconce and perhaps you can install a simple railing for the stairs. Your wakway would have more curb appeal with large pavers.

Note: If you absolutely need to keep the storm door paint it the same colour as your front door.

BM Nantucket Gray definitely looks green to me, so if you don't like green that probably won't work for you. I love the color though (so much that we're painting our house Nantucket Gray this spring!), and think it looks very "Cape Cod" :) I'm from the east coast and still miss it ^_^

Can we see your house from the front, too? I like this color combination (but my thoughts might change if I can see other angles).

I Googled ‘dark sky lighting for cape cod’ on Pinterest and several options came up. I think it’s important to choose lighting that doesn’t produce annoying glare for your neighbors.

I'd start by trimming back overgrown shrubs and powerwashing the roof and siding. The roof looks like it's in less-than-great shape in places. Possibly, a wash and getting rid of the moss will solve that. Maybe the siding will need a coat of paint, maybe it will look better. Then, I'd put something to keep the edge between the driveway and grass crisp. I'd paint the door.

If the siding does not need to be painted or if it's not in the budget, I'd paint your columns to match the trim and consider painting the trim blue.

Thank you so much for your illustration! I actually just purchased the home so I’m bouncing ideas . I love the railings and the sconce is there any chance you can do the trim on the house black also ?

@lisedv thank you ! I like the trim above the windows but not so much the above the door way . I would love to see how it looks on the other side with white columns and black window frame with black trim above the window if you happen to have a chance or you can also share if there is an app that will allow me do this .l hate to be a bother , but this is helping me a lot !

I'll work on the other side of your house. Just for your info, I show the window itself in black but the large trim around in white, I think with the black frame it would look too massive somewhat like what is presently done in dark green on the house. Taking that into consideration, I think that the white around the front door works.

It appears you really need a new roof and gutters.

Freddy Salazar: had computer problems today and spent some time at the Appel store... Just got back to your house but difficult for me to do the sketch because of the angle. If it's possible for you to take a photo with a full straight on front view of your side porch area with the colums and post it I'll be able to do the sketch

@lisedv do you have the capabilities to add a small deck to the rear of the home ? I was thinking of a low level one with white and posts and black railing . I’m not sure about the color to go for the flooring . Any ideas you may have would be appreciated!
