this house is amazing. I love how the art and furnishings integrate so wonderfully to create a happy atmosphere. Love the colors and textures against the stark white walls...

whoa, you guys are great! Thanks so much for all the fantastic advice! So far, I agree that I NEED to get those Crestview doors (love the 'Grover' and the 'Pasadena'). A different mailbox, exterior light and brushed silvery address letters are also great ideas. I am working on the landscaping and really like the idea of putting some pavers, a couple cool boulders and some gravel around with low profiled shrubs, etc. I think all those things will make it look waaaay better. The windows are a big ticket item that will have to wait until I have the budget, but I am torn about getting newer aluminum windows or vinyl. There is a lot of conjecture about how much less efficient aluminum is. The worst thing about the aluminum is that they are so sweaty on the insides of the windows. I do agree with some people that the aluminum has a cleaner and more 'streamlined' look to fit with this style of ranch.

Oh, and one last thing, I had to put a new roof on this house so we went with a charcoal gray metal roof, which I like.

Thanks sooo much for all your great comments! Have a happy New Year everyobody!

i preferred the 'before' kitchen as well.
