Help with curb appeal
Comments (21)It's a cute house and the hardscape is nice. I'd plant some flowering plants in your gravel by the path. As for the collection of shrubbery to the left of the door, I can't tell what it is. It looks kind of crowded and overgrown. Figure out what you like, whether the overgrown stuff can be pruned and go from there. If you replace the lawn to the left of the path with driveway, the driveway will overwhelm your house....See MoreHELP WITH CURB APPEAL AND EXTERIOR COLOR SCHEME
Comments (12)Yes to painting the shed to match your house. But do not highlight the white trim. ALL one color. And remove any “cute” embellishments. Your home is modern. The shed shouldn’t look “country.” And Yes to NO Shutters. Finally…trim up the tree but leave it there. Before you sell, ream out any drain lines that might be compromised. (And certify that they are “clear” for the buyer.). Let the buyer decide about the future of the tree…which is NOT that close to the house. Focus on simple basic landscaping in the front and along the walk. Nothing extreme. Again…let the buyer do that. Maybe a pot on the front porch planted with annuals. Mulch with brown mulch, not strange color OR stone. Leave future decisions to the buyer....See MoreHelp with Curb Appeal
Comments (9)You have some orange in the stones, and your roof is a reddish brown. SW Chelsea Gray or Stamped Concrete read as a sage against the stones. I think that’s pretty, but you may not like the green. Favorite Tan is close to the orange stones, and reminds me of the color of a saddle. Not sure how it would play against your roof, though. Make sure you get tester pots and paint a large board (at least 2’ x 2’, larger is better). Colors seem different when they are larger and outside. Do you have any plans to replace the roof soon? If so, I would choose a lighter color that also works with the stones....See MoreHelp my curb appeal
Comments (18)I think staining or painting the red brick only looks like an improvement based on what people saw before. That is to say, if you came upon this house for the first time after all the suggestions for staining or painting had been done, you'd be thinking: How can I change the look of this house? The big black portico overhang is the thing I would most want to change, along with the black roof trim. The house has a design (not saying it is one I like) and I think uncovering the design would be a step in the right direction, rather than constantly applying coats of darker paint. Wondering if any other houses in the neighborhood are like this? Are there photos of the house when it was built? Would love to know what is behind the lattices....See MoreLyn Nielson
