Help With 1950's Bungalow - Working With Yellow Brick

10 years ago

Have a 1950's bungalow that has been cared for by (what seems) like a child - poor updates, and only what was required at minimum. We have been slowing making changes/updates inside and are starting to get things planned out for the front of the house. The biggest issue is dealing with the yellow brick. Have not been able to find much on Houzz that features yellow brick and accent colour other than brown, and the obvious black.

- The front door was a temporary install since the old wood door had massive holes. The front steps are above the cold room which will become a proper wine cellar so not much we can do about changing the shape of them.

- Windows for bedrooms (right side) need to be replaced. Plus front door.

- Should the windows go black? how will that look with the white soffit and brown roof? Roof is 5years old - so does not really make sense to change. Would be open to changing soffit/eaves.

- Cant put in a larger door, walls/closet in the way.

- Roof over the porch? Something flat/clean?

- To the right of the house is a future garage or car port. No design yet.

- Obviously landscape is a mix of temp and overgrown original

Thoughts? Would love to hear any thoughts or ideas!

Thank you!
