Should we paint the cedar walls ?And the brickwork ?
Comments (48)To da_jg_king...This thread is about Stephanie's dilemma and all responses are directed to giving her some suggestions....its grown to be a rather long article and it is unlikely that anyone will respond to your dilemma. Why don't you start a post about your house and put up some really good photos to give Houzzers a "look in"? I bet you will get lots of respnse if Stephanie's post is anything to go by. Its hard to imagine your environment and make alternative suggestions without having photos. Cedar or any timber panelling can be deceptive depending on the area of the room and on the lighting that would change during the day..really need photos! I'm sure Houzzers would love to pitch in with suggestions...some of the ideas given to Stephanie might inspire you too! I love the challenge of natural timber. I've come across and advert for a beautiful new paint colour from the RESENE company..They have some amazing stuff that gets me quite excited imagining what I could do with some of it...You ask for suggestions for flooring that would look good against cedar walls....You do not say whether you want colour suggestions or materials suggestions...so...Go to the RESENE paint site and have a look at all their paint products, you might be inspired by the colours and that could lead you to other ideas...like tiles, floor renders..etc. Lately I've had a "thing" for a definite shade of Wedgewood Blue..( and I don't particularly like blue in my environment), but there's something very appealing about a dusty, light, warm-looking exact BLUE...leaning neither towards green nor purple...a perfect blue that I just love next to my timber walls.....That might be a clue for you...though it would depend, as colour always does, on the natural hue of your timber walls...Wood has its natural colour variations according to its type that also change with age....lots to consider. Put up some PICS! Yes?...See MoreSuggestions - 1979 brown brick house with tile roof
Comments (12)I'm not sure if your gutter is colorbond or not, but I'd be tempted to paint both the gutters and windows in a charcoal colour. The blinds would then tie in a bit more with the colour scheme and would leave you with all the advantages that awnings supply. I also think, if your budget allows it, that getting rid of the concrete edging, pathway and patio would help a lot. Replacing them with pavers would certainly give it a fresher look as plain concrete is very dated now....See MoreNeed a light paint color to go with terra cotta like tile flooring
Comments (3)Cathie - are you in Australia? I can suggest some Australian paint colours that would work, but not worth the effort if you are in the USA and have different paint brands and colours. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreI need to cover old tiles on a penthouse roof.
Comments (5)I'm wondering what exactly you mean too? Is it a floor on the roof of the building, since you say penthouse? Low traffic so it's not a patio or anything like that? Is it a roof of a lower level of the building visible outside the penthouse windows perhaps? Please do post a picture. What's wrong with the tiles? Regarding waterproofing, presumably there is proper waterproofing underneath the tiles? I have heard some horror stories. Last thing you want is to be pulling up multiple layers to fix an underlying problem....See Morewuff
