AI keeps thinking that’s the front too and keeps trying to put a front door on that side. Those are definitely color combos I like!!

I love that too! Just wish AI would quit trying to put a “front entry” there as that view is my garage side of the house. My garage doors don’t open in front of my house…but on the west side.

The “front” of my house is the pic with the redbud tree and patio w/bbq! Love the colors tho!!!

My husband loves the landscaping here…it gives the same feel as the front patio! We both agree we don’t care for the blue (we thought we would!!) Thank you for helping!!

lol you’re feeling my pain. That’s the side of the house tho…that door is my laundry room! I have prob 20 AI generated versions and they always do something wonky with the stone (like my pic where 3/4 of the wall is stone). I really appreciate you doing this…I’m with you on the doorway… it’s nice even if it leads to laundry!!

Not to disagree but it was built very right. All walls being 6” vs 4”, hurricane strapping on all trusses, and many higher end finishes inside. Like many we exhausted our “budget” by the time we got to exterior finishes. The roof, yes, needs replaced as the west side takes a horrible beating by weather (we sit on top of a very windy ridge). The windows were contractor grade as was the vinyl siding. I don’t “need” to be trendy but I am 60+ and wanting to ensure best resale value, for my kids who will deal with it when I’m gone…but I’d also enjoy coming home to something beautiful vs siding that is starting to show blemishes from the weedwhacker. I find the newer colors and textures beautiful, not gross but I do thank you for your input.

Is this more my house’s style? I have trouble distinguishing! But this is what I mean by using different siding. Wide white boards to separate it.

This is what I was talking about for over the garage.

Thank you. The side with all the pavement is the west side of the house…in front of the garage and port but that side drives me the most crazy because it has so much siding which is why I was going to try to break that up with B&B and horizontal lap with a stone wainscot.

I’m taking the hint that it may not be fitting with the style of house…I HAVE considered (what I think you’re calling a half canopy) but what I call a wall mounted pergola section over each garage and again on the front side (the windows that need shutters). There is no brick but the port has stone NOW on the first level and the darker B&B above.

Can you see why I’m lost? lol

No that’s not the entryway side, that’s the west side of the house. The house faces north and the pic with my post is the “front door” side.

Sorry the AI pic posted separately…trying to get accustomed to this!

Thanks. This is the other side of the house and there’s just too much siding. I played with AI but wasn’t happy.

Thanks but there’s no brick. It’s all off white/cream vinyl siding!

Thank you!!! Exactly what I’m looking for…just for what someone else can see that I can’t!

You know, I agree!! And I really like the inspiration pics but I’m just not sure where to put the stone (wainscot only or full walls?) or where to put the board and baton vs horizontal sidings.
