OTBE - Gibson - Old Exterior Ideas - do not delete yet
This home is very different in style but uses a similar strategy. Where the last house was contemporary, this one has transitional farmhouse-inspired style thanks to board-and-batten siding, the metal porch roof and 2-over-2 windows. A stone wall anchors the base of the house and extends it into the landscape.
Front gate with "x" detail at road???
Gray and white shakes and trim?
White mullens?
This exterior uses WHITE windows, buts accents in black -- that may make it a bit more timeless???
Dormers like this across the front?
maybe bump the stairwell out so that the front is not a straight line....
Like how the stairs are covered up here
Note the detail on the exterior "rail" -- solid in the corner areas and then open. Consider this as an idea if we keep the porch on the front of the house, which would create a possibility for a grill nook.
