Opening up enclosed deck- or not! Exterior dilemma!
Comments (12)How about keeping the framework of the enclosed patio and the wall but opening it up... so pull off the roofing but keep the trusses... and grow some vines like a bouganvillea on a trellis over the area. It would protect your privacy and not waste the infrastructure of what has been built, but it would give the spot some beauty and street appeal. Bouganvillea or a similar brightly coloured vine would look amazing. Maybe a combination of vines so that you have maximum flowering... so some autumn leaf colour, summer flowers, spring flowers... think romantic like wisteria, jasmine, clematis, rose... or bold and tropical bouganivillea and mandevilla. You can paint the trellis a contrasting colour to add some appeal while the plant is growing up. Pulling off the roof will bring better air flow and light back into the living area....See MoreSouth of Seattle Mid-century looking for suggestions for exterior

Comments (3)rereading your post i now realise that the windows are already grey but would be great to have the gutters painted to cover the green but instead of hand painting check with the local powder coating company as it's possible to have the gutters powder coated ..we took our gutters down and had to put them back up again...tedious but more effective than hand painting...See MoreLight or Dark window frame dilemma!

Comments (3)I don't think it overly matters , but personally I like the darker frames for the contrast -- lighter frames are a bit whimpy ....See MoreKath
