Daniel Keeley is a landscape/garden designer who decided to take on the remodel of this small, vinyl-sided house. 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Quite a dramatic transformation!   Love the:   wood door, the flanking lanterns, ***the introduction of calming symmetry in the windows and plant-filled urns***.  (To me, the new symmetry of the facade just 'makes' the house and aids that stately feeling.)

And love the gate, and the darling landscaping, and...

One thing, what do you think about the charcoal painted brick?  He said that's the most controversial thing he did-- some love it, some hate it.  It's Sherwin-Williams' "Black Fox".  I do think it's handsome, just maybe not what I would personally pick...

But man, what a nice job he did.  The fact that he designs gardens professionally sure doesn't hurt!  Reminds me of a mini-Williamsburg or something.

The back looks nice too!

I'd call it a bold, masculine approach, and with a vaguely but pleasantly neo-classical vibe.

I think the "Black Fox" gives the house character.  If I was passing by the original home, I wouldn't give it a second glance.  But the color/design of this charming remodel would stand out.  The landscaping is stunning and adds to the charm.

Thank you @Oznell.  This proves you can take a small insignificant home and still make a statement.

The landscape is lovely and surrounds the house with much appeal.  Of course the exterior change of the house is outstanding.  The designer certainly did a terrific job of making a simple plain home into an eye catcher!

@Oznell @Quite a transformation.  Makes me want to see what is inside!  LM

I love it!! What a dramatic change!!

I think the landscaping is beautiful. I would choose a different door and exterior paint. I think a lighter grey for house exterior with yellow or red door .

Wow, quite the transformation.  Love the little gate and landscaping.  Would love to see the inside.

I think it better be in a heck of a nice part of town or they have spent W A Y more than the house is worth.  And was it in good shape underneath? 

I have to question the money spent.

I love it....the transformation is perfect in every way to me.

Now I want to see the before and after of the inside.....if I could only unlock that front door!

Certainly a dramatic and somewhat appealing re-do, but I'd not have chosen those exterior colors. It's not dreadful by any means, but I'd especially prefer something other than dark grey.
