          • Creative Ideas Needed Please, This is the exterior of our home. It sits on a corner lot. We need to re-side the 3 sides shown. Notice how everything runs horizontally, including the lap siding, and how one dimensional it looks. I don't want to see all those horizontal lines. I'd like to mix it up a bit, color-wise and siding materials used. Please help me think outside the box. Suggestions needed but keep in mind that we are diy-ers and we do have a budget. Also this is just suggestions for the homes exterior, not landscaping. That'll have to come later. Thank you in advance for all your creative suggestions., Home Exterior Design
