Can this house look nice?

I'm debating whether to purchase this home. It's built in 1989 and looks very outdated, not so appealing from the front. It almost seems like mediterranean style but it has wood roof that's almost 30 years old and I'm not digging the rock style (prob cause it's from the 80s)
I'm wondering would it look nice if we could paint the stucco with a yellowish tone with white trim (or brown trimmed window) and remove those red panels with orange tile roof. And eventually replace walk way with brick tile and prettier landscaping in the front.
Would it be able to look nice like this
or something like this color?
I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks

Commentaires (2)Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya... Voir plusChoosing an Interior Designer
Commentaires (0)Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections....
