In terms of price, a new plaster is about three times as expensive as a paint.


The ‘tiles’ - more precisely: slips - could possibly also be changed in color to gray.

I also wanted to mention the base tiles. Ditto the railing. I can also well imagine setting off the eaves in a lighter gray. That’s actually enough – the house has character and is coherent.

In our town, someone gave their house a new plaster and new windows, the house looks like it was just built, amazing what that changes visually .... I would change the plaster and make everything else gray ...

Mention, for what? :) Exactly! I think you can see that in the first picture with the front view and the old wooden windows. It’s simply all a matter of taste. Now, with the new white windows without muntins, we have somewhat changed the character, and ideally, we want to continue without losing the coherence. On the right, the old windows can still be seen: [ATTACH width="160px" alt="IMG_1724.jpeg" type="full"]59063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH width="431px" alt="20191121_143806.jpg" type="full"]59064[/ATTACH] What do you mean by "everything else"?

hm. What I notice: the windows on the side are somewhat simply designed in white, and those to the terrace are in wood. Have you also included these in your considerations? Should it remain inconsistent? I don’t find that bad at all, but maybe I would paint the sash windows.

The plaster still looks quite good. I would do nothing at first – if up close you think it needs painting, then do it. But replacing an intact, nice plaster with average plaster, I think, is wrong.



Neither!



:confused:

Can it still be reordered? ;) I hope it’s at least made of paintable wood and not plastic.

I am also the gray person. Gray looks subtly modern, but it’s not always the right choice.

If you want it a bit more modern, I would suggest:

First of all, replace the dull trellis left of the garage with a rectangular one. Next, in my opinion, also the reddish base: I would give it a dark gray.

The railings front and back, light gray, so it doesn’t stand out too much from the house. Without any “dark accents.” Maybe the railing in dark gray. Beams of the canopy also light gray. And now here’s the thing: front door and shed either deep black or another accent color, otherwise the house will become white-gray bland uniformity :)



You have to be careful not to rob the house of all character!

The windows are uniform all around. There are no more wooden windows with muntins. The picture shows a snapshot during the window replacement.



Above the left garage the plaster is quite damaged and already peeling off. Otherwise it is fine in this regard. Sure, in some places it might need a coat of paint. That would at least be the minimum it gets.

The new door will be made of aluminum and white. The three glass panels are because we have this design on the interior doors on the ground floor, as I already showed in the house pictures thread.

That danger exists. That’s why I am here ... :)
