Copy the Curb Appeal: Seattle, Washington

“We liked the colors and details of this modern farmhouse so much that we barely changed a thing. The metal roof is especially amazing when it rains — it’s better than any white noise machine," say homeowners Blaire Burman and Mike Dannenberg of their 2015, 3,100-square-foot house.

Back in 2016 when the couple first bought their home, they freshened up the landscaping with a combo of greenery. “Our goal was to make it look like everything was already there,” Blaire says. “The plants we picked seem to belong among the giant trees that surround our house.”

It’s one of the first things the couple noticed about the house. Says Blaire, “The openness makes us feel connected to the neighborhood.” (Classic-Craft American Style CCA2310XG-SDLF4 fiberglass door)
