Curb appeal needed - front door color for brick home?
Comments (49)Oops- try the link now http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/bobval/exteriors/ Thanks Michael :O) Les - I too was thinking a golden/fall yellow - more muted. I said mustard, but I mean more of a dijon maybe :O) Here's a mockup that squirrel did with two teal doors. She even put the pink roses in for me :O) (I am nuts about pink roses and will be planting a pink climbing rose). Here's a brick house in my neighborhood with a teal door: And here's a brick house that has some creamy trim...definitely nicer than white!

Comments (7)I like the white in the inspiration, but our current vinyl is so cheap looking. Would you stick with clapboard look, or would shingles work too? The exposure on the inspiration picture is 6-7" I think, whereas we would only be able to do 4". Also, the back side of our house is really reflective and creates a lot of glare right now. I feel like that would be better if the house was a different color. Would it reflect less if it had the Cedar Impressions given that the surface would have a grain to it? Finally, Anglophilia, this has been a VERY long process already. We hired an architect three years ago, went through lots and lots of drawings, only to get to the end and realize the project was completely overbuilt and over budget (check my posts to see some of the previous plans). The new plan, which is just to dormer and finish the back half of the attic, is still stretching our budget once we add in residing the whole house, but I want to make sure we still end up with the curb appeal and character that I hope for. We are no longer working with an architect, as I trust my builder completely, but I do need to provide good inspiration for him to work from....See MoreNeed help with small front porch and curb appeal please?!?!
Comments (20)What about a pergola extending from the left side of the house to the second floor bump out on the right? The section above the door could have a solid roof for weather protection, while the rest is open to allow light into the window. Or you could make a gable portico over the door and extend the pergola to the left off of that. You could do one over the garage as well but that might be too much, and to me adding dimension on the left is important. Properly sized shutters would actually work quite nicely here Someday :) With the style of the new garage door that would push your house a bit toward farmhouse....See Moreadvice on exterior paint colors: front door, garage door, curb appeal
Comments (14)Snap a photo on a sunny day then use the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap app to play with the colors. I would select a tone slightly darker than your mortar for the garage door and a color slightly darker than your darkest brick for the front door. I would then on the garage door install magnetic faux hinges and windows; this will add detail to the door, like the below house. I know they can be found on Amazon, not sure where else.
