Design Crew

Got a problem? Need some help? Just standing there shaking your head? Don't know what to do? You're not alone. Send us a link to photos of your design quandary and let the Desire to Inspire design crew help you .... that's you lot ... the readers! A few weeks back Chase emailed me.

Chase - I have a new home I'm purchasing and its needs some help! Could you post this house to see what the readers think about ideas!?

Jo - If I put it up as a Design Crew post is there anything in particular you want them to "discuss"? Anything that really has you stumped? Warning though. Some of our readers are starting to play tough and may hurt your feelings :) If you are fine with that then I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Chase - The front of the house is what I would really like some help with. The inside is pretty much a blank canvas so any ideas for design would be great. Overall, just what readers have in mind. I would like to come back once I've finished to show the final product. As far as getting my feelings hurt goes, it's the Internet... Peoples opinions are all over the place! I appreciate it :)

OK you heard Chase. Go for it.

I Photoshopped an nice new exterior but can't attach it to the post!

I kept the changes minimal except for the window which I think would have more impact if it was bigger, filling the area from it's current baseline, right up into the angled space to the roof line. You should keep the original brick, obviously update the garage door to a plain, no-detail windowless one and replace the white siding area above the garage to a warm cedar. The same white siding below the window by the door could be dark charcoal flat stucco to add some contrast within the door alcove.

Please email me to get the photoshopped picture!
