Exterior Refresh Ideas Welcome

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

Just moved into this stately home. i know dark homes are trending so I wanted to let the exterior marinate a bit. The yellow stucco paint 100% has to go but I dont mind the dark brown windows and trim. Tossed around the idea of limewashing this brick in a cream color limewash then adding copper accents on roof at bay window and copper gutters. Then adding an old world beam above the top window which looks sad currently. That will be $$$$. I would love to see if anyone has any ideas to update without messing with the brick! Would limewashing only the pop out front section look funny/ Too two-tone?

The large grassy island out in front needs a trio of trees (perhaps birch with their light-color bark) and an assortment of flowering plants and bulbs (azaleas, daffodils, tulips, roses, iris, for example) to bring splashes of color.

I would either change all the brick or none of it. You already have more than one finish. Other than the yellow paint, I'd leave your lovely home alone and work on softening up the landscape.

Do you want interior painting?

Not full on paint because it seals in too much moisture and peels etc over brick … limewash was really only option I was considering. Ideally I just want to freshen it up and make it look updated without messing with the bri k so was looking for options!
