Reply to: Yes, a lot of shutters are made from something waterproof so they’re probably a vinyl. You can absolutely paint those.

Reply to: In other words, as the seasons pass, take photographs, and make notes/sketches as to what is currently there. Then you can plan for for four season interest with a landscaper.

Reply to: Changing the door will make a huge difference. Flo gave you some great ideas, and she’s right about the roof color. I usually prefer gray shingles (dark ones for your house) because they “go” with more house colors. Deep gray shingles will give you a great contrast and not compete with any colors on the door and shutters. As Boxerpal said, Urban Bronze is an amazing color - sort of gray, sort of brown and looks good with many house colors. If you can use an AI app, play with other deep colors - I would try some navy blues. Landscaping is the jewelry of a house. Flowering bushes and perennials are my favorites. Azaleas are stunning in a variety of pinks and reds. Or knockout roses if they grow in your area. Plan your foundation bushes and perennials so you know what will come up each year. Then you can add annuals every spring. You have a lovely house. Hard to mess it up when you start with this. 😍

Reply to: Kendrah thanks so much for your input, but to be honest wow I went to the website and its way out of my budget. I have already put this project off till the 2nd week of August. I think the vanity part is going to make me crazy. Im leaning toward a floating vanity and maybe same with the toilet, because of space. Also its hard to find a modern looking toilet that is shorter than 28-30" long, again not enough space for that. Thanks any for all your suggestions and help. Good news is might found a blue that will work. Its called Hinting blue by sherwin williams. Its light with a little gray in it. Pic below. Going with a white toilet ugh Black vanity with white top with grey veins hopefully or white. Matte black fittings and shower door with black matte also found a great round shelves Ill try to post that also

Reply to: I have lived with and remodeled many tiny primary bathrooms. - Limit the number of colors in the space otherwise it looks super choppy. Baseboards the same color as walls. Ceiling and walls the same color. - I like a bathroom floor to be different from the hallway. You want the bathroom to feel like a different private space. A floor change helps. - Your marble floor tile is the best choice of all your samples. Use it. Next find a vanity. It is really hard to find a good vanity in 24 - 28". Start looking. Remember your floor heater when it comes to door swing. Even better, get a floating vanity with good drawers. They make a small bathroom feel bigger. I swear by the drawer storage in mine. Way better than doors. - Let your floor tile and vanity dictate other choices --> white walls with the marble floor look. The two faux marbles will compete. Not good. See what vanity you can find and color match your wall paint to it. It will help the space look bigger. - You are on a budget. No to tile on the walls. Plus, it will make your non-tile shower enclosure look cheap. - The gross talk about black toilets - my mom had one. You cannot see the color of what is coming out of your body. This is not great for health reasons. Doctor wants to know the color of your pee - sorry, I have a black toilet don't know. Seriously, not good. - If you want to splurge, figure out where to do it - recessed ceiling lights or a slightly more expensive toilet with Toto sani-clean (or whatever they are calling it now). Ever since I got a Toto toilet, it looks clean all of the time. Yes, a white toilet. Go for it. Sounds like you hate cleaning. This will help. - In certain situations I like a black faucet, and even in some small baths. You can wait to figure this out. Get everything else together and then figure out what the room calls for. - Get a large recessed mirrored medicine cabinet. It helps a lot with storage. - Add recessed storage shelves on the wall behind your door. They will hold a lot. Hang your towels on hooks on the back of the door. This was the only option in our bath and I was shocked to find my towels dried faster and were fresher on hooks.
