Please helps us add curb appeal to our new home. We really love the home we just purchased because the interior of the home was completely renovated but we really do not love the exterior. We would like to update the home. Any advice is appreciated....thanks in advance

Looks like 3 different separate structures , i.e. the white house belongs, but the brick does not. Since i like brick though, convert white house to brick so it matches.

Agree with changing the color of the white portion to blend in more with the bricks.

I like second plan! That space will fit the wardrobe perfectly. Take all colors from the art. The colors can be lighter or darker than the colors you see in art. Take "Venice" with you to paint store and they might be able to help you choose good colors. Idea: paint four walls the same and see if you like that. If you feel the room lacks interest, then paint the accent wall. Choose a pale green that harmonizes with "Venice" and a darker green accent. Yellow + red accent White + blue accent

You have all the reasons to redo the house, its very lifeless and looks worn out. I feel creating a separation will terminate the spaciousness of the room. Adding colours will surely help, Since you have a tan color sofa,I suggest grey, white or light blue color on one of the walls. Add some art works of the color you chose for the wall. This room needs some fillers like , books, throws, candle stands tall and lean. YES DON FORGET 1. Mount the tv on the wall make some space on the floor and Fix a large size mirror ( Wooden Frame if you can afford).

I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer.

step 1 - spray paint the brick in white (that will make it look good)
step 2 ( if you have the funds replace the cladding with a cedar panel with a V groove.

Paint the white siding in a light blue grey. Add colorful furniture and hanging flowers to the porch. Keep the white trim. What is your budget. All of the shutters are the wrong size. Shutters should be 1/2 the width of a window. That's what makes it look awkward. Adding professional landscaping will go a long way.

A good beginning would be to replace the walkway up to the house. A new brick walkway or stamped concrete in the same color as the brick on the house will pull all of the elements of the exterior of your home together. I made my walkway 3 feet wide with 2 feet beds on each side of the walkway in stamped concrete. Create the walkway at a distance from the house in an organic natural flowing pattern up to the house with planting beds flowing beside the walkway. Take the brick right up to the from door. Soften the entrance to your home by opening the planting beds up by the house into large organic shapes. That's what I did with my home and it changed it dramatically! It's a lot of work but what a difference!

I wouldn't paint the brick, it's a lot of upkeep once it starts to peel, instead paint the siding a darker color - I like the idea of the blue-gray suggested by a previous poster. I'd put most of the budget into landscaping. I'd remove the shutters too.
