Ideas for a Mid Century exterior

7 years ago

My husband and I bought this fixer upper house in Colorado and have been working on the interior. With spring coming we are starting to think about how to update the front.

A couple of things...
The deck and front doors must be replaced
Is there a cool way to create privacy for the lower walk in downstairs?

Thanks so much for your thoughts and creativity!

Probably evergreens of some type for privacy. I’m not familiar with you climate to make specific recommendations.

Probably expensive and not easy, but you could install an MCM style slat fence on top of the rock wall for privacy downstairs and repeat the effect on the upstairs railing.

Nice light coming in with a wall of windows! You can continue with the stone wall and transform it into a planter that would hold evergreens, add lighting for nightime ambiance. Best wishes!
