🌞 Warm weather is finally upon us, and we are ready to get outdoors. After an exceptionally snowy spring, we know you are too. Make the most of the next couple months and your outdoor spaces with these renovation ideas, inspirations, and the help of your friends here at Kenyon Noble; your Renovation Destination.
First impressions are everything, and sunny days mean cookouts, graduation parties, and having dinner in your backyard a couple times a week. Let’s get your home ready for company, starting with your entryway. Here’s what we would do:
Replace the front door with a sleek, modern door with frosted windows to let in all that beautiful Montana sunshine but also provide privacy. You can keep a natural finish, or if your house needs a little bit of a facelift, maybe paint it a deep dusky gray like Benjamin Moore’s City Shadow. Finish up with a matte black lockset and modern light fixture to tie everything together.
If you have the space, we love the pictured Polywood Modern Adirondack set shown in slate gray — perfect for drinking your coffee in the morning and a glass of iced tea after dinner. Polywood’s all-weather construction, eco-friendly materials, and 20-year warranty make this brand an easy choice when shopping for a quality outdoor furniture set. Stop in at the Bozeman location Garden Center and view our in-stock options or to place a special order today!
Next up — the back deck! What’s a back yard without a great deck for entertaining? We suggest building with composite decking due to their all-weather durability (yes, even Montana’s summer sun and sub-zero winter temps!), low-maintenance care, streamlined railing options, and a variety of colors and finishes. Stop by your local Kenyon Noble today to view our three available brands — Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon — and design your dream deck today!
Since we’re talking about entertaining, you’re going to need a place to sit with your guests and, well, entertain. We adore the pictured Braxton 5-Piece Deep Seating set from Polywood, shown in Teak with Natural Linen cushions. Complete the space with a raised fire table for hassle-free ambiance sure to enhance any outdoor gathering space.
Last, but very much not least, maybe it’s time to give your home a whole new look, and the Magnolia (yes, THAT Magnolia) siding collection from James Hardie has us all wanting to install new siding on our homes. Boasting a wide range of color options, there’s something for everyone in this collection. We would pair the It’s About Thyme siding with a complementary dusty sage accent and creamy white trim. Update with a modern farmhouse style front door painted a dramatic black and a new light fixture for a full makeover. Don’t forget a pair of new Polywood rocking chairs and a new door mat, and you’ll be walking up to a brand new home before you know it.
Of course, exterior renovations are not only physically attached to your house. Maybe you want to build an extension of your outbuilding, with room for woodworking or for all your outdoor toys. How about the flowerbeds? The Bozeman location Garden Center is open for the season, and carries everything you need to create a beautiful green space with perennials, garden décor, or even a new vegetable garden! The possibilities are endless, and our helpful staff at your local Kenyon Noble can help you make your mood board a reality.
