Storybook Makeover
When I showed pictures of my house and it's sad landscaping to my friends at work, they laughed," says homeowner Stephanie White. "I think it looks like a gingerbread house; it just needs a little makeup to get noticed." Architect Hoyte came to the rescue with rustic adornments and finishes that affirm the Tudor Revival roots of the White's home.
White’s Home (Before)
Transforming simple Tudor home with good bones is easily accomplished with layered detailing and color. Timbers in the front gable stay true to the Tudor roots and adorn the home with visual interest. Don’t hide your front door, light the way with a large lantern. A rustic arbor and new shed dormer on the right side help balance the large gable to the left.
