Please share the paint colors on the exterior of the home in the thumbnail. Those are exactly the look I am wanting to paint my house! 😃

[@victoriasagraves4343]

Fresh paint, new numbers, & more blooms.

[@fayecraghead6820]

Ashley what a beautiful and informative video! I just loved watching! You always have great videos! Thank you for sharing as it helped me look at what I could do to make my home better! Have an awesome day!!🥰😛🥰

[@janiceestes9518]

I am 70 years old, and I deep clean my 2200 square foot home very 7 weeks. And I wash the inside and exterior windows every 7 weeks. If you stay active, you will live a longer life. I also take everything out of the garage and wash my epoxy floor. You guess it every 7 weeks.

[@ashleychilders]

Wow!!! I’m inspired to get my deep cleaning act together!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@sabine3769]

Love it

[@Bob-wr1mn]

Curb appeal is everything❤️

[@mlady204103]

New sub here. I'm so pleased KZbin suggested your channel! Timeless charm is exactly what I want for our turn of the century home inside and out.

[@ashleychilders]

Oh yay!!! I love hearing that! Welcome❤️❤️

[@rebeccalee5320]

Ashley, love this video. You showed us beautiful homes. Love the ideas. But...I can't use most due to a less expensive home and area. I would love to see what you could suggest for a home and area like mine. I have already done more than my neighbors.

[@ashleychilders]

We are currently working on the landscape and curb appeal plan for our little cottage renovation that will kick off later this year and I’m really focusing on bringing in charm with perennial plantings and defining areas for us to sit and enjoy the outdoors and hopefully meet some neighbors. I’m also considering adding window boxes. I’ve never had any, although I’ll have to get a drip line or something in them for watering, because we’re only at the cottage once or twice a month! I want the little porch to be super inviting so I’m adding a climbing rose and a pretty lantern. I hope these ideas get you inspired! Thanks for watching!! 🏡❤️

[@doreen9838]

These homes are expensive. I sure they have help in landscaping and anything else do you remember curb appeal on tv normal houses till they got to big an only show expensive homes I stopped watching!!

[@firestick4991]

Having lived in areas like that, where you don’t want to attract too much bad attention, stick to things that look attractive, but not expensive. I totally get not wanting to be “too pretty!” It’s easy to feel like the nicest house in the hood, especially if your neighbors don’t do anything. Here’s a few suggestions: Good, even lighting near and around the whole house is important in keeping intruders away, but keep it practical looking. Avoid fixtures that are flashy or blinged out. It is important that there are no dark spots. Motion lights are good. They have solar options too. Keep plants smaller so no one can use them as cover. Keep thorny plants by the windows and near doorways to also discourage lurkers near entry points. The colors of them can still be complimentary to the exterior house color. Keep any external home improvements monochromatic so nothing jumps out. Like, if you put shutters on, keep them about the same color as the walls. It’s okay to make it something nice to come home to!

[@firestick4991]

Oh yeah, keep portable things to a minimum. Plant in the ground so no one walks off with nice pots. If you want seating, use inexpensive materials like wooden crates or build something in. If the distressed look is prevalent in your area, go with “distressed” looking improvements. Like the crates for seats, find older ones with peeling paint. If in ground plants aren’t an option, use short, raised bed boxes with wood or metal that will weather over time. You can work the feel of your area into your design, so it’s something you can enjoy, without standing out too much from your neighbors. Or, just keep your nice hang out spot in the back yard, or patio!

[@firestick4991]

One more thing. Never underestimate the power of your neighbors being inspired - by you. When I first moved into my area, everyone was dark and shabby. I put up a variety of lighting around the property, string lights and solar lights more specifically. My neighbors started to light up their houses not long afterwards. Now, a lot of people have landscape lights on at night! It’s beautiful 🤩

[@barbaraclanton-px9wi]

Nice video.I would like ideas for less expensive homes and neighborhood.What kind of flowers for curb appeal?

[@ashleychilders]

I love adding charm to your entry with a pretty wreath, potted plants and a nice doormat! Those tips are great no matter the size of your home. We live in Arkansas, so we have pink azaleas, boxwoods, roses, and tons of hydrangeas in our flowerbeds. For my potted plants a few of my favorites are petunias, guara, verbena, salvia, euphorbia and impatiens 💕

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Every home looked so beautiful. Lots of great ideas.

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you so much!!

[@Bob-wr1mn]

I have already done all of your tips and I guess I’m all done. Thank you Ashley

[@ashleychilders]

Nice! 😎 I bet you have the best curb appeal in the entire neighborhood! ❤️🏡

[@firestick4991]

I need to fix up my entry door area again! It always gets several feet of snow so I cleared it out for winter. Time to put back the wreath and lanterns! Still working out the pergola in the back. This property is so big, there’s always something to do!

[@christinemorin8842]

Great tips. ❤❤ your front doors and your big fern. The nature around you is very beautiful. We are at the stage of snowdrop in Quebec. I envy you with all this greenery around your house.

[@cyndi_acrossthelake]

My home is nothing like yours. It was built in the eighties and is far from elegant -- actually it's pretty plain ( i bought it because of the location and affordability). In spite of the fact our homes are world's apart, I love your videos and find them very useful! From this video, i'm inspired to widen my front steps, purchase a wider dormat and color block the flowers in the front beds. And even though I can't have a fancy mailbox.I'm going to at least upgrade the one I have.

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you for sharing your plans and how you were inspired by the video!! ❤️ truly my goal with every video we create! Thank you for watching and best wishes for a lovely December and a beautiful New Year!

[@beckybainer9019]

How fun! My first time viewing your channel and you have such great tips and ideas that can be adapted to anyone’s homes. Thank you

[@rogersw9]

Wow let me know when you get back to earth

[@sophiaforsley3907]

Please share what kind of pink azaleas you have in front of your house ! They are beautiful !

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you! They are George Tabor Azaleas 🌸

[@jennylynn5307]

Ashley ...love your hair !!

[@jadezx974]

8:15 May I ask what kind of tree this is that is so beautifully blooming with white flowers and mirroring each other? Sooo stunning…

[@patwilkinson2182]

Ashley, you bring so much joy when you create your videos. So nice to hear you describe different styles, design.

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you!!! I appreciate you watching each week, truly! 💕

[@davidmurphy2966]

This is NEXT LEVEL. So glad I found your channel :-)

[@myrahouse2368]

I have a copper finial it’s now black been up a few years … I am looking forward to when it turns that pretty patina green.

[@sunitashastry5270]

All good ones. I need to get the house number out on our front. I love putting colorful containers with flowers on my front porch.

[@kathypatterson9906]

Another great and educational video. Thanks very much.

[@ashleychilders]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@deborahday8160]

Where can I find a container like the one the Kimberly Queen fern is in? It’s lovely!

[@Weissmjm1]

Wow! I just came across your account and I'm so in love with your beautiful home. Every detail is so incredibly curated and intentional. May I ask, what the small green plants lining your walkway in the beginning of the video are at 0:31? I am looking for something similar and think those are beautiful.

[@ashleychilders]

First of all, thank you so much for your kind words❤️ And the plants lining our front walkway are boxwoods. We planted them about a year and a half ago so eventually they’ll all grow together and be one beautiful evergreen hedge!

[@Weissmjm1]

@@ashleychilders Thank you so much! I am not used to seeing boxwoods like this. Most seem much more "round." Can't wait to see your next video xx

[@veronicaraines9215]

Love all tips.

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you! ❤️

[@celiathirlwall3329]

Hi Ashley! Great tips! You mentioned white/light flowers for a dark house and colorful flowers for a white house. What would you suggest for a peachy beige stucco and stone house? Thanks so much for your thoughts!! Have a great week!!

[@clairemcblair]

Purple/magenta/maroon would pop and be gorgeous!!

[@celiathirlwall3329]

@@clairemcblair thank you!

[@crystalwood4633]

I needed these tips. My husband and I haven't been happy with our landscape team lately so we are going to do some things ourselves.

[@ashleychilders]

Awesome!!!! Good luck with everything, I know it will turn out beautifully! ❤️

[@karenhudgin8631]

Excellent advise! Thank you!

Oops I meant advice should have my glasses on!😮

[@ashleychilders]

Yay!! Thanks for watching!! 🏡❤️

[@rocknrobin]

Excellent video and perfect timing as my front door area needs a total makeover! Can you pls tell me the front door paint color on this door or even something close?

[@rocknrobin]

It's the first of three shots on the left in a minty greenish-bluish color at 7:12 in your video.

[@kiashaw]

Imma need to see what the inside of that gouse looks like!! 😍😍

[@prayonkreutz2398]

What if you can't see the house from the road? How can you plant the end of your driveway that's lower maintenance but inviting & pretty?

[@manuelapereira6692]

Love it them all 🎉

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@maurad5378]

Beautiful homes but their really mansions. Could you show some lower priced areas?

[@tiffanybolden1319]

Love this!!

[@leslieg8176]

Wonderful ideas, however, most people do not live in homes like this!

[@suneeshnt1090]

Good vedios.. ❤ From India...kerala.

[@Woodworkfayazchaan]

God bless you❤❤❤

[@stevehuddleston3650]

Excellent video with good tips. Be careful to avoid "upspeak": rising intonation at the end of a sentence. Upspeak makes every statement sound like a question and undermines the impact of each statement.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

What kind of life do people have in houses that big? I just can't relate.

[@susandmarie2067]

🌀💛🤗✔️

[@MelodyHopkins]

Now show these tips for the typical three bedroom, 2 bath homes a larger majority of people own rather than million dollar homes.

[@doreen9838]

These homes are huge. Not like my home

[@ashleychilders]

The curb appeal tips I shared really can work on any size home! We’ve used them on small cottages and bungalows for our clients and are using several of the ideas on our tiny cottage renovation! ❤️❤️

[@kathygrabenstetter3434]

Thank you, Ashley for another fabulous video! I loved all of the suggestions that you made. I especially liked the color schemes for flowers based on color the exterior of your home.

[@ashleychilders]

@@kathygrabenstetter3434 thanks for watching!! ❤️❤️

[@doreen9838]

Really won’t work in small spaces. And things don’t look the same

[@Toni_Snark]

⁠@@doreen9838It won’t work if you refuse to try anything. It’s not the size, it’s how you use it 😉

[@leeannoneal4847]

You’re joking, right? 😂 These homes are wayyy above average in curb appeal…and price.

[@rachelearles8768]

These are the types of homes that she works with

[@tammymcleod9860]

This is about style and ideas that anyone can implement to their home.

[@AliAhmad-gr6hk]

One tip. Less is more.

[@AA-cp8ry]

Pls start showing homes affordable to the average American, so in the $300K range. Most of us ordinary folk, like nurses and veterinarians, cannot afford the homes you show. U focus strictly on the ultra wealthy.

[@ashleychilders]

Honestly, my team and I spend hours and hours a week searching for images that show visual examples of what I speak about in each video. We try very hard to show diversity in size, style and architecture, truly we do. If a home has been professionally photographed, published in a design magazine or online article, or shows up in a Pinterest search, we've probably looked at it. For our videos we really try to show the aspects of good design principals, those ideas can be used in any size home, apartment, condo, or townhouse. Im working on a 1,700sq foot cottage design right now that I'll be publishing on the channel later this year, I'm excited to share the whole process with our KZbin community!

[@valoriefalorie4223]

Nothing easy and less expensive.. big budget stuff…

[@rachelearles8768]

Adding potted plants or new house numbers is not overly expensive and is accessible for most home owners. Also over sized mat, she mentioned several ideas that would fit any budget

[@rachelearles8768]

If putting a new mat infront of ur door isn't easy, I think u have problems lol
