Thanks for asking.. I am so happy.. the house was so decayed so we decided to rebuild the same look of a 100 year old cottage but move all the living to the front for the river view.. so happy we did it and went for light grey and white and yellow.. so pleased and we have people in the park comment.. we could not go any bigger because of council and flood zone but it makes it special as it is. Some pictures I just took.. I took a picture of the outlook so you can see why it feels just right.. still work to do as in the gardens and just finding the right plants to put in as it is full sun. Will ask for help on that one too to make it feel cottagey but not block the view. Thanks again for asking. Karen

Hello .. why not grey but not too dark. A neighbour paint their fence (beside a 70's but lovely yellow brick home) a dark grey. I wondered if it might be a little too dark even tho that appears to be the trend. I have too, a 70's yellow brick home and deciding what shade of grey I might paint the paling fence in a courtyard area. I think maroon (trim) and grey would work nicely and it's surprising what a new appearance does for the surroundings. I'm often amazed.

Hi, I agree and that it should be the ceiling colour but you could do a lighter shade of your wall colour for your ceiling colour (including the bulkheads) instead of ceiling white. Use Snowy Mountains Quarter. You will have a lot of shadows and less light on the ceiling, especially with the bulkheads, so a slightly lighter colour will help with that. Nice choice with wall colour btw. Rebecca

We need to give our house a little face lift for selling. Anyone have advice on what colour to paint the old, crumbly timber shingles please?
