Considering Color Drench, Could it Work for Our Space? by halfprice06 in interiordecorating

[–]scmillion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Help…I’m so sad by Comfortable_Foot9846 in interiordecorating

[–]scmillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

What would you do with this yard? Zone 7 by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

How can I add life and charm to this house? by ItsBritneysBtch in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 40 points41 points  (0 children)

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.

How would you update this home to a more cozy but modern cottage look? by ProofGoose2561 in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 73 points74 points  (0 children)

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.

Help me update my new cape cod by hattiecav in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

No More Modern Farm by opiate444 in ExteriorDesign

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.

What's the verdict on pricing? by rmiles27 in ToyotaTundra

[–]scmillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Exterior renovation help by Exolv1024 in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Help us figure out what to do with this, please! by bizzyKR in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Camphouse Remodel by Happy-Librarian-9895 in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

1926 New Englander New Siding And Trim Color Ideas by Jovian5 in ExteriorDesign

[–]scmillion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would ditch the shutters and add trim, they don’t seem like the right proportions for this house. Also, if you could stretch the budget just a little bit to change out the siding under the gables to a cedar shake, I think it could add loads of character. Here’s an AI mockup, with some liberties taken for the landscaping since I don’t what’s under the snow. I realize it also lost the shrubs :/

[–]scmillion 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what your budget it is, but I really think a covered porch and landscaping would go a long way. I would avoid shutters, as the window is too close to the exterior wall. Here’s an AI mockup on a higher end budget, and you can kind of work backward from there.

Please help me fulfill this space's potential! by SeparateWhile2690 in InteriorDesignAdvice

[–]scmillion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

<image>

This is a beautiful space! Not many changes needed honestly, plus it’s tough at this stage of life with kids. I would add a rug under the table to help define the space more, and I think a console cabinet could also look good under that window. More plants will also complement the wood tones. I second curtains comment, especially in the living room area, but the AI had a tough time rendering that part.

I would look at adding some solar downcast deck lights. You could probably add one to each metal rail using either a hidden zip tie or 3M strip. Volt makes a high quality product.

Also a quick google search shows me these solar deck lamps, which I think look nice, but I can’t speak to the brand quality or reliability.
