Wrought Iron Yea or Nay

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Should I remove the Wrought Iron in the front entry way, on the sides of garage and 2 decorative pieces? If I removed it, I think it would look more modern...but is the opening too wide? Any and all suggestions welcomed!

    It is a bid odd. What if you painted it ( and the iron on the garage) white? It might help make it disappear but not leave you with a gaping space.

    They were originally white which I didn't think looked good.

    I think I would remove it - instant update for your lovely and very neat house.

    Great landscaping & so glad you did not add shutters. Not sure about the filligree. It does not seem to go with the style of the house.

    Yes, remove it.

    I agree with the others who say it doesn't go with the style of your house. They are pretty, though, for the right space.

    I would remove the wrought iron, wall decorations between the two windows, and diamond shaped grilles from the windows in order to modernize the facade.

    I agree with everything that Flopsycat said!

    Remove it off corners of garage for sure!! Remove the upper center part of it in the entrance and take another picture and post to see if then, the entire thing should go.

    Maybe remove the center piece and have some climbing vines grow up the two side irons.

    and didn't see the garage corners, but I would remove those as well.

    and the two decorations between the windows

    The entry way piece is welded all together into one piece. We are getting concrete work done, tomorrow I will I will take a picture with it removed. It seems unanimous that I should not reinstall it with the new concrete. I really appreciate all the help.

    It would be so pretty on the right kind of house.

    Why not remove and add a square colonial style column on each side under the roof overhang.. Then add planters?

    So much better without the iron work. Add a tall plant on each side of the courtyard entry instead. Much nicer.

    I think it looks so much better without! What do you think?

    I think it does look more updated without it. Thinking about changing the light fixtures now that the wrought iron is gone. Maybe to a square/rectanglar fixture? What style of house do I have?

    Looks so much better without but you have to remove it off garage corners and remove the two dec pieces between the windows. Then you will really have an updated look with the new light fixtures (which are kind of mission style and should reflect your front door style)
