Hi All,

My wife and I were finally able to purchase a home for our family this past May! The summer is my BUSY season for work, so projects have been few and far between. Now that business is winding down a bit, we are focusing on our home's curb appeal as the first major undertaking. Like many of you, we love modern, and are drawn to clean, crisp lines. As the story goes, those homes are few and far between, and out of the budget when they do come around. I'm not looking to completely remodel the exterior to become the modern home of my dreams, but I would like to bring it out of the 90's and clean it up a bit.

So far, we have thought about painting the exterior siding grey, replacing the front door with something clean and simple, adding modern house numbers, and replacing the fencing with horizontal planks instead of the standard pickets. The mitered garage corners are an area of concern for me, as well as the bay window.

If any of you have suggestions that may help us along, we would greatly appreciate it! Thank you Houzzers!!
