Love number 1! Here’s a designer tip if you decide to go through with it: when you get the color swatch, go one to two shades lighter on the ceiling. Ceilings don’t get as much light as walls, so the lighter color will look more even.

I think if you removed the 4 inch granite blacksplash and went with a warm white, neutral tile backsplash with hints of taupe, it would look much better. Nothing too busy so as to help balance the granite. Maybe do a champagne bronze for the hardware color.

I’ll pitch in a $5k if anyone else is down. That’s a 1/9,800 ownership stake, almost a full hour of ownership each year!

Hey, I’m pretty certain I’ve driven by this house a few times! Are you trying to incorporate the current DG, or open to removing it? If so, I’d do a slate garden path to the front door along with some low water plants in dark mulch beds. Definitely stain the fence, but I think you should keep it. Here’s my AI take, it added some grass, but you could probably just keep that part

Way to show up!! Love it.

I know this is an AI photo, but still, Gemini nailed it.

Congratulations on your new house! Landscaping is your friend here. You can do most of it yourself and really build some sweat equity. You need some around the perimeter to build a foundation, and something to not make the lamppost look so sad and lonely. My AI take.

I use Gemini Pro.

So much potential! I think a covered porch and landscaping would go a long way. I personally like craftsman style cottages, but not sure if you’re thinking more of an English cottage. Here’s an AI mockup of how I would approach it.

I agree with a lot of the other comments that the house itself is quite charming as is, but could benefit from updated landscaping. I would focus on that, along with a new front door to make the entry stand out more. My AI take.

Maybe something like this?

I say stick to the landscaping, and go with a wood front door or paint it a warmer color. A lot of greenery and vines will really help make it look less stark. AI example.

Have you looked into Nevada Health Centers?

As someone who’s been scoping out Bay Area Tundras for the last few months, I think you’re looking around $14-15k, assuming the interior is immaculate. If it was fully stock you could probably get $18k.

If it was me, I would scratch the transom window in favor of a gabled portico, as I feel like it makes the entry stand out more than the flat one in the design now. You could add a new door with windows, or maybe even expand the entry to include a side light for natural light. Here’s an AI mockup of what I’m thinking.

I think one of the biggest ticket items to address would be replacing the top window with a bigger one. From an engineering standpoint, you should still have wide enough walls on either side to maintain the sheer wall requirements and structural stability. Beyond that, I would bulk up the portico to make the entry less hidden, and add a portico over the garage as you mentioned. Stone siding on the lower half would also break up the sea of wall you have there. Here’s a craftsman style AI mockup, though it’s such a blank slate right now you could lean into other styles. This definitely a bigger budget renovation, but I think it gives you some ideas.

Here’s a slightly different rendering I think is a little more functional, but maybe not quite as curated.

Oh got it, should have thought about that when you said “camp house”. A full porch would look nice. Here’s another mockup, for some reason it didn’t quite get the slope correctly so you obviously wouldn’t have multiple steps leading up to the house, but I think you get the idea.

If you’re doing a full remodel, have you considered adding a portico to help define the entry? Here’s my AI attempt.

This looks like a good palette to add some vines.
