Whether you build, add on, or face-lift, 'i i here's what you should know about EX TERIOR M AT ERIALS by MORT REED, JR., Editor 11ie mATEttiAL that covers the structure of your house serves the same purjwsc as your clothing, and must meet the same requirements of taste. It should flatter. A house large and awkward in design can be made inconspicuous with plain materials and tlark colors. Low houses need vertical lines for contrast; tall houses need horizontal lines to look their best. Like clothes, exterior materials should conceal flaws, reveal beauty. It should be appropriate. A Palm beach suit is as out of place on a cowboy as overalls on a master of ceremonies. Use materials common to and readily available in your area. One material should dominate, with any other used for accent or contrast. It should he consistent. You wouldn't think of wearing a checked suit with a striped tie and a flowered shirt. Use pattern or texture in contrast with plain sin faces, and bright accent color in contrast with neutral tones. Exterior materials cotne from nature, so follow nature's lead in con trast: sunlight and shadow, straight trunks and arching 1roughs, sharp rock and soft wood, the smoothness of a moleskin and the roughness of an elephant's hide. It shoidd he economical to maintain. The less time and money you have to spend on exterior maintenance, the more you will enjov your bouse. It shouhl match or blend with other materials. Again follow nature's lead. Sand and rock, grass anti leaves, water and skv blend without clashing. So limit the number of exterior materials you use to two which go well together in either texture or color. Anti il vnur house could use a new winter coal, don't discard the thought as imjwssihle or too expensive. You can do wonders with a re-siding job. and perhaps do some of the work vourself. How? You'll flnd the answer on page l-l. ! i i To gueat* who drop In, an avanlng In thla baaomont la a treat lo which they look forward.
