Ideas for curb appeal??

9 years ago

Too much brown, not sure how to fill space under porch without too much expense? Should trim be white? Pillars be boxed and left natural stain? Am I over thinking, just add greenery?

Your photos are too close to the house. You need to get the entire house in the photo. If you feel that doesn't give enough detail, stand in one spot and take two photos of the house with a slight overlap between them. If the street is too low to see your house well you might get a better shot standing on a ladder or in the back of a pickup. I just can't get a feeling for the layout.

Also you will get better photos if you take them with the sun behind you. The second photo especially has the house and yard in shadow and the camera lens is picking up some glare.

House looks fine. It is the landscape that needs work.

Im thinking the posts need to be beefier, so wrap them and then stain, but I dont know if that is possible with the posts that have the wire going through.

Nice house! Does the yard need a focal point(s)?

Very nice looking home, you could add wood and stain and it would look fine. I personally like the painted wood. The exposed deck post need to be treated as the rest of the post. Where the bracing is I suggest replacing with horizontal boards on both sides of that corner either natural or painted. The lack of green grass and the large amount of boulders is distracting and looks unfinished . I suggest adding sod on the level area and Juniper shrubs that would drape the rocks revealing only small sections of rock.
this is the type of wall section I was referring to.
