This 60's rancher was built in 3 sections. The middle is the original drive-in and features the "V"-angled order windows. To the right, the main house was added on. To the left, two garages. We just converted the closer garage to living space and now have the exterior to finish. We want to replace roofing (maybe dark gray?), windows (same basic footprint, just better insulated), doors (garage and man door beside it), and siding. We plan to wash the lower brick but leave it as is since we don't want the upkeep of painted brick. We are thinking board & batten style siding above the brick, but would love help deciding what color and if that's the right style. Also, we will be putting in a front door to the right of the far right post in the central porch section (our current front door is to the right of that front porch beside the bench and enters the kitchen. We plan to eliminate that existing front door. How can we make this porch section "pop?" Wood wrapped posts, peaked roof above the porch, etc? The right side of our house faces the road and that is where our parking pad is. We often have people knock on the slider door, thinking it is the front door. That pad is where we keep our picnic table, grill and trash bins. Any thoughts about how we can make this prettier and not confused with the main entry? Any ideas are appreciated!
