Curb Appeal for 1930s Brick Bungalow
Comments (8)If I was working on a small budget I would go to a plant nursery when they aren't busy, early on a weekday I guess, I'd take a picture or some pictures of my yard, and a chart of the sun. By the sun I mean a chart where the sun hits or doesn't hit the spaces you want to plant, the different areas of your yard. I'd ask if they have someone to help you, preferably a landscape architect, and you'll probably have some great help. You'll have to be very clear that you are doing the work yourself rather than hiring it done. Don't go to a big box store but to a local plant nursery. However, my local nursery is very busy this time of year, so you may have a terrible time with finding someone to help you right now. Your home is very pretty and good luck with finding someone to help you. There are many garden tours this time of year so you may be able to find what you like on a garden tour. Atlanta Botanical Gardens has a tour Mother's Day Weekend I think. A local garden tour would be great too. I'd ask about one in Decatur, or somewhere like that. Good luck....See MoreCurb appeal help needed for my overly busy 1950's bungalow.
Comments (22)We use the front door as an entry, it has a couple planets on it, I rant to decorate it a little bit more with a little bistro set maybe! I am looking for more budget friendly fixes currently since we are hoping for an addition on the back at some point and my husband does not want to put too much into the front, so if i can think of a good fix that's affordable then it's manageable! He is also amazing at diy and reno projects and my brother is a contractor so that helps!...See MoreHelp updating Curb appeal of 1950s bungalow
Comments (8)Thanks @Nelly Bluth definitely think that some dimension would help and thought about doing something above the entryway. I think cost might be the primary concern for that type of addition though, perhaps down the line could be something to add. Were you thinking of something just above the entryway or something that would extend further the the window on the left hand side? We do have to replace the windows regardless for life cycle updates so will likely do either way....See MoreBrick Ranch Exterior needs Curb Appeal!
Comments (15)Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I see some great ideas that I'd implement if I were living here but aren't necessarily feasible given the circumstances. We'll move forward with seasonal (fall) landscaping, sealing the drive, and finishing the railing. The doors have actually been painted. We could repaint them but given how subjective paint colors are, I'd rather allocate the funds elsewhere. Possibly a hanging sign or other decor to complement the new landscaping. Again, thanks for the suggestions! The Houzz forum never fails to provide great feedback....See MoreRelated Professionals
