The Front of This House is Hideous. Help!

echoparkhome
hace 8 años

We are about to put an offer on this house, but I am really caught up on the way the front looks. The windows are weird, the color is bad, and I can't even look at the cheesy brick posts.

I'm coming up short on ways to fix this house that doesn't offer much inspiration. Any ideas? Or references?

Thank you!

    You could add a third window to balance the front better,

    or you could add a deck and maybe a door,

    and maybe paint the garage doors so they aren't as noticeable.

      Maybe we should all pool our money and buy it to use as the Houzz Party House when we're in the area. I'm in for $20.

      Me too. I'm convinced there's a secret room above the garage, where the window was boarded up.

      Hey, if there's a secret room above the garage, then I bet it has a wardrobe in it. If you walk through it you will end up in Houzzarnia, he, he.

      Yeah, Kevin!! Here ya go...

      To me the issue is that the dark color on the first floor visually appears unable to hold up the top floor. Further the square footage of the upper level is out of scale with the rest of the house. Basically top heavy

      If I could bake, I would try them. Unfortunately, you have to precisely measure instead of throwing stuff together. I can't bake!!

      Lol at the babies...too cute.

      @Kathi--if you can drive, you can bake. :-) If you can drive a manual/standard transmission? You can certainly bake.

      If you can text, you can bake. Lol. Or just buy a cake mix and add an egg, lol.

      I have a 6 speed now, little convertible I got myself when I turned 50.

      Back in the day, I had 3 on the tree......'61 Ford Falcon.

      I can make a mix, I just hate the drudgery of the precise measuring baking requires. I fix brownies and cakes, cookies at Christmas, but not fancy stuff. And I cannot make a pie crust to save my soul. Hand is way too heavy!!

      More of a throw all that stuff in and lets see what happens kind of cook!

      I hear ya. I don't mind baking, but it takes much more time and equipment than cooking.

      I hardly ever follow recipes for cooking. Everything I seem to want to try has some obscure spice that requires a trip to the Asian market or the back-woods mushroom hut for some weird oil.

      And if I ever bring home kale or chick-peas again, I think my husband will ban me from the kitchen! (He doesn't like either. I made the mistake of wanting to make hummus and kale chips, lol).

      I had to hide the last can of chick-peas in soup, lol. He's onto my "throw it together" tricks, he, he.

      Since we are so private here ;) I will reveal my secret thickening ingredient for savoury dishes, it is a handful of rolled oats. Nutritious too.

      I add chopped up bags of broccoli slaw to most of my ground beef dishes to add vitamins and vegetables!!!

      Kathy, that's a good idea with the broccoli slaw.

      You have a very beautiful home! Adding a different color would bring it more to life. A deck on the second floor would also add more outdoor living space and make the house appear bigger from the outside. Good luck!
