exterior update
Comments (4)Very cute house. I personally like as is so if it needs to be redone I’d stick with a light color. I think dark charcoal will close the house up too much. I love how airy and inviting it looks right now....See Moreexterior update ideas!
Comments (5)The other thing you may consider to change up your exterior is to change out the posts and railings. The posts could be beefed up and a new classic, yet modern touch for the railings. Possibly even consider cedar posts instead of painted ones....See Moreplanning new landscaping/exterior updates
Comments (3)I loved the window boxes I had on the front windows of a home I owned in a 6A climate. They also really helped the resale of the house. They will need to be bare in winter, although I put pine boughs on mine.

People often make window boxes too shallow,, which makes it harder for the plants to get enough room for roots, but also looks flimsy and insubtantial aesthetically. I might look for a way to echo the diamond design of your leaded glass in some subtle fashion, and I would be sure that the box coordinated with the look of the door. If you choose a window box it is better to have very low key plantings in bed below. I had compact azeleas....See MoreDesign advice for final exterior updates.
Comments (5)I think I need to understand what the reason was for the blue. I can barely see the house in the pics so hard to really understand the color choice . I would rarely use a dark blue with black windows . I agree the glaring white huge garage door needs replacing and for thta I would choose a door with some glass in it and then I like the idea of the wood . Gutters are IMO not decor elements so either match the roof or the fascia .which is white now and honestly maybe black for both the gutters and fascia to tie in the black windows .I am not sure about the soffits....See Morekaty1962
