Need help with curb appeal!

9 years ago

Help! We just bought this home on a beautiful lakefront property but I need advice on some curb appeal ideas. I'd love to replace that shrub too. The siding is painted in BM Copley Gray. The last photo shows more of the home prior to the last paint update.

Use a trusty vehicle and a length of chain to pull out both shrubs! I think all of the landscaping needs a makeover. Spring is a great time to do it. You might take the photo to a local nursery and have them help you draw up a replacement plan to work on from now until next fall. Then next year it will be great looking. How about a new front door and updated light and house numbers for starters? Could you use more light in the entry? If so, go for a glass door. You could paint the entire home in a darker color from the stone. I think that would give it more "presence." The current color looks a bit stale and faded to me. Since it is on a lake, I have to share my favorite colorway for such a location. It may not appeal to you or your style of home as much, but I do think you should consider a darker color for the siding, even without the Crisp Roman green.

I think you should paint the front door a brighter color. Yellow, red, bright blue, bright green. It's swallowed up by the overhang, and being in that corner. HOUZZ has lots of photos of houses with bright doors, to give you an idea.

perhaps a darker trim color on the windows/fascia, and a brighter fun color on the door. pick up the door color in the landscaping, large planters & flowers. the shrub you want to remove to be replaced with an architectural one. an interesting tree is a 'walking stick.' (gnarly twisted branches that grows fairly fast) it is a great looking home! congratulations.
