Congratulations Mark! I really like the drawings that you did up with the new door and deck at the front. It makes a huge difference to the house. I think the all grass look at the front is a bit much. It would benefit from some sort of pathway to the deck, but I don't have the imagination of the other Houzzers, but I love what you have done so far.

Brittany, you must practise flicking your hair. It's all in the attitude. Aluminium frames can be painted. Rough them up a little after a good washing. Then the paint will adhere better. Use metal paint , ask at the hardware.

It looks great love the finished design

Congratulations siriuskey! So many of us here on Houzz have benefitted from your generosity with your time and expertise. The tweaks you did to my design ramped it to the next level in terms of functionality, and you are still helping me with choices of fixtures and fittings (Your Houzz moniker is very apt - if I am in doubt I just 'ask Siri'!). So it is lovely to see you get some recognition for your clever design. The room you designed with the App is gorgeous! And the artwork you've chosen for your prize is stunning.
