I like the new roof, but can't picture shutters on the building. I hope someone can photoshop some awnings!

Do you have space to push out the concrete stops from the sidewalk to allow more walking room? If so, I'd add some big pots of plants/flowers to give the space some life, and paint out the trim to match the pots.

How about a couple of window boxes with some wrought iron detailing planted with a carefully arranged selection of flowers and greenery

I don't feel you need shutters or awnings. Leave as is. Big Ole Texas Star as mentioned above.

Or a metal saying, something different.

You have the room to do something special there.

Hi Sammie - thanks! Yes, we will put the concrete stops back out on the blacktop. We moved them up onto the sidewalks for crack sealing and re-striping. And I agree with you on flowers.

Thanks Bonhambuilt International Design - you read my mind, I'm pricing out long planter boxes for under the windows!

Hey decoenthusiaste - a star! I hadn't even thought about that - what a good idea. Thank you!

Thanks njmomma!

You're welcome!

awnings on each window..... will not be as much function and it would be appeal.

Perhaps some long more narrow planters on the ground with low flowering plants that work well in your area? The colors were just selected and mocked up. There was no intent for specific colors.

sorry, wanted to add some plants...

Good luck!

Thank you Porter! Mockups are so helpful - I really appreciate your ideas and skill!

IMO there is no space for awnings with that roof line and certainly no shutters I love the idea of custom window boxes that fir the whole window . Plant them with seasonal plants and do something on the wall between the windows. Some really great lighting at night. A wall mural would be kind of fun in that space .

Thanks Patricia - I appreciate your recommendations!

Hi everyone - thought you'd like to see the finished result. Thanks for your suggestions!
