Hi again ok this is what I see without the stone. Working on the with stone image.

And with the stone. I think if you go this route you need to select a stone then carry it through for a low walled walkway along the curved portion of the walk.

Wow lucidos. That is so cool how you added that paint color. Did you use the tool sigrid offered? I would love to see an idea with all stone or that tan/taupe color throughout. HOuzzers are the best!

Here's a Tuscan garage with stone. Would you want to go for that look?

There are many many other choice;change the door,windows,color,the walkway,adding porch.....and matched CAD,3DSMAX...pics,if you need,send me email.

So, I found this design. - Instead of the rock he used here, do you think I could stick with the brick and achieve a somewhat similar look? I also love the look of the wooden garage doors. I am thinking we will stay away from real wood though.

Sorry one of "those" nights here at the ranch :) I'm liking the slate gray trim.

As far as your last image I think a cantilever to create a portico of sorts between the 2 roofs would be fantastic.

Here are some inspirations that can be applied to your home. The bumpout window section of your right wing, can be completely redone to mimic the entry of pic #1. Replace your two windows with one large arched one trimmed out much like this door/entry. The loggia on the left of the second house or the pergola on the right can be adapted to your entryway. I'd remove the decorative "dove cote" from the garage. Are you interested in applying stucco over the remainder of the brick? That would help get you in the Tuscan ballpark.

So I was thinking....Still meandering over that window above the garage....

Ok got it...

You have great potential with your yard and walkway, You may want to look into doing pavers for your walkway. There are a variety of manufactures that you could choose, however with that being said I believe that Unilock would have some great options that would give you the look that you desire. Depending on where you live (which from looking at the pictures in the northern portion where you get some weather) you could be able to start working on it very soon. Just keep in mind if you do it or have it done all maunfacturers of pavers have requirements for installation to keep their warranty intact. So please make sure you follow those guidelines.

Wow, I love these ideas. I would love to do a cool walkway/patio with some sort of curve to it so we could sit out front. That last picture is great Lucidos. Also, decoenthusiaste I would change it to one window but it is two rooms so I am not sure how that would work. I didn't know you could do stucco over the brick. I love the round door too. That really makes a difference. Thanks again to everyone trying to help me out.
