Curb appeal help
Would love to get some ideas for improving the curb appeal of my brother's new house. The photo with the green grass was photoshopped by the realtor and the other photos show the actual circular driveway going past the front door. Don't like the add-on by the front door that the prior owner did to add a closet at the entrance but it is not in the budget to redo it. Appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks!

HELP NEEDED - matching color to granite top
Comments (17)Hi, We suggest that you go for grey (safer) or black (more "loud" and daring) laminate colours as it matches really well with the granite you have. These colours will definitely give a touch of elegance and express a modern look theme! You may also do polishing for your Granite to give it back its shine thus you will look like you have a new kitchen! Please do contact us in jojo@stoneamperor.com.sg and we may provide you more information and feedbacks about countertops! Cheers, Stone Amperor team...See MoreNeed help with bathroom glass

Comments (14)Hi Fred, Thanks for the want of the precise measurements. The U shape area in my kitchen is 64" - 104 - 99" (left - centre - right). Height of the kitchen area is 107". The wall with the fridge has total length of 99" Fridge is 32" wide, 29" deep, 73" high (I bought this fridge on a good bargain but realized it was slightly oversized in this kitchen area, but got to live with it now) The wall beside the fridge is 23" deep I know some gap has to be left between this wall, the fridge and the wall mounted/countertop cabinets for ventilation I guess. So I'd say the cabinets on this wall will have a length of only 63"/64"? The microwave is 18.5 wide, 13" deep, 10.5" high The oven is 24" wide, 24" deep, 24" high. The wall next to the fridge which will have this feature cabinet 42" wide, 110" high which is next to the main door. I'm thinking the feature wall is kind of plain, but it covers up where the fridge is sticking out....See MoreHow to make my condo look bigger and more appealing
Comments (18)Hi, I agree with Gary, do a hotel setting to make it more appealing. Here’s an idea. Remove the partition, move the closet down and add a big slider freeing up the space for a spacious bedroom with lounge seating/dining by the window. Think about the tv wall where it can have a proper work desk space. And do you have balcony? Perfect !...See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI like what celery shows in her rendering using the green second floor as it works well with your brick and the reddish/rust door color works too. partim is right about the landscaping. The asphalt running in front of the house looks harsh to me. Does your brother need the extra parking or the circle drive? I would get input from a landscape designer to see what you/your brother could do to reduce/remove that circle drive. It would make a huge difference in the curb appeal of his new home IMO. If the circle drive is necessary, consider using a different material that has a more green effect like permeable pavers (examples below).

I would definitely paint the brick or at least whitewash it. The two
different materials now cut it in half and do not complement each
other. Celery's colors look better than the original, but I think brick the same color as the siding would look wonderful:
