Kerb Appeal Needed!
Comments (6)Without being sure of what those windows are from, it might be worth considering creating a flat roof/ deck on that single garage and replacing the first window with a sliding door to access it. Continue he same balustrade as your fence with have and create a terrace. Slatted balustrade might provide the privacy in screening, and a nice place to stand out at evenings. I think a colourbond roof would modernize this home in the right way, it's low pitch is suited to doing so. As for the windows, I personally like timber awning windows for this style home. Although I think a louvre window would look amazing where that long narrow window is, and if it happens to be within your stairwell, it would create a fantastic breezeway and vacuum the hot air upwards and outwards. The main structure of your garage, I would create post and beams that jut out over the entrance path not a covered roof, just the beams, which would be the joists from the garage roof/ deck. This would tie into the architecture and soften the boxiness of the exterior facade. Also it will direct you through an interesting entrance and lighting and landscape details could really wow you....See MoreIdeas for curb appeal

Comments (11)Thank you oklouise The house started out as a small single storey fibro house (left section). By the time we bought it, it had a 2 storey extension 6.2m w x 12.1m d added to the right side and the whole house was bricked over - leaving a strange stairwell on the side of the new extension (which we faux brick stamped 15+ years ago as it was bright white). There is a small step down to the front verandah but still good head height. The current garage doors are also quite high at 2.5m and would not need to be as high when replaced. So hoping the bulk head (if that is all we come up with) would be consistent / level across the front. That was just my first thought, but fresh eyes and fresh/other ideas are welcome!...See MoreHelp to add Curb Appeal
Comments (7)Hi Linda, I agree your house looks great, you could create a garden bed along your driveway to add more curb appeal, using a mixture of architectural and shrub type plants could really look great and compliment your existing garden, you could make this bed as wide as you like and even clip a few (buxus) to add a stylish look , could look gorgeous....See MoreAnnie Cass Landscapes
