After a few updated exterior entryway ideas, this bungalow bears little resemblance to its previous incarnation.

A wider overhang shelters a remade front porch, with gracious columns sheathed in paint and brick.

Black details provide balance and grounding to the mostly neutral color scheme.

Lack of care over the years had left the overgrown front yard and exterior looking tired and worn.

Bright white trim contrasts with the pretty forest green base color.

In this case, the need for a master suite pushed the homeowners to look above the garage.

In addition, a short awning over the front entry mimics the same architectural element over the garage door.

Stucco provides a light-color balance to the charcoal gray trim and roof.

A line ofnewly planted treesalso helps to divide public from private areas in the front yard.

The homeowners relocated the entryway, giving it presence and style with an arched window and columns.

Windows were enlarged, too, to give them a sense of proportion with the expansive home’s size.
