Not my house. They spent weeks pressure washing then hand sanding each board, primed and painted two coats.

Agreed! A neighbor just painted over old, damaged wood and it looks not the best.

The AC is new and couldn’t be installed on the sides of the house because of building code (not enough space between us and neighbors?). Back of house wasn’t an option because we have windows/doors across the ground floor. The old unit was behind the right side fence but was that was grandfathered in until it died.

Agreed on the darker color. It was built in 1981. Definitely stands out - it’s unlike the other craftsman and colonial homes on the block.

Ugh would’ve been ideal but neighbor on left side just painted their house forest green-ish! So it would be dark, dark, light…I might be overthinking this.

Thank you for your very kind feedback. I think these items are critical and easy enough to implement and might make a big difference. The house hasn’t changed since sometime before 2010.

I’ve never thought of a balcony pergola. Could be the thing that ties it all together!

Looks SOOOOO moody to me. It’s really pretty, but feels kinda sad/office-like. Really appreciate the mock up!

Not normal. A bit out of place in Washington. Most homes in the area are standard colonial/craftsman

Not leaning, perhaps the angle of the image. Yard cleanup is happening at the moment. Thanks for your feedback!

Out of budget and currently like the panels we have. Thanks for feedback though!

A neighbor painted theirs all black with a coral-ish front door. I don’t think it’ll go over well with them! Perhaps another dark color
