Doodles - - Curb Appeal

There are so many home improvement shows now; Trading Spaces, While You Were Out and so on. I thought for this challenge that I would create a digital version. Attached is a home that needs some curb appeal. Work your digital magic and see what you can create. You can change colors, add porches, bay windows and so on.

LOL...not what I had in mind, but hey it will definitely make the neighbors talk!

Admit it, T. That's your house and you're looking for ideas

T Paul · #6 10-12-2005, 07:15 PM

Only just found this post and thought of this.
It may take you a little time to complete the construction (and quite a lot of cash), but the neighbours would certainly notice it.

You did say we could change the windows etc.

T. Paul, no major changes, and I didn't spend a lot of time on painting it, but Lynette Jennings says the front door should be the focus of a home from the street and that we should paint it our favorite color (no matter what that might be) and leave the shutters and garage door more neutral. Oh, and I added a wreath

LOL Craig...tooooo funny! I've seen one or two of those being raised in Fla!

Peter,

Now that's quite the renovation!!!!! Think Raniday's might be more feasible though

My quick thoughts. Not terribly ambitious, but attainable I think

Kraellin · #14 10-30-2005, 12:40 PM

nancy,

cassidy,
i like the flowers. i was thinking of hedges along the drive and front, but i think now maybe the flowers are better. i might still be tempted to put a low hedge along the front, however. the higher elevation of the lawn wouldnt be blocked from view and a hedge would frame things nicely.

i'd also think about adding an ornamental tree in the yard, somewhat off center to the front near the drive, but at least a good ten feet from it.

i got lazy about trying to find some hedges to copy into the pic, so all you get for now is this text version

Thanks, T

Curb Appeal is one of my favorite shows.

In this eposide:

The shutters and doors were painted dark green. A small porch was added, and the window on the porch was enlarged.

And, since it's TV, there was still enough money to repave the driveway.
