Help! Ugly facade 1980's mottled brick home.
Comments (15)Do people lime wash brick in Australia for exteriors much? Perhaps your facade is not the type for it and anyway I think it's a really cool facade as is. It strikes me as going with a mid century modern vibe as oklouise is suggesting rather than perhaps more trad plantation shutter look. But if it is a look you like then limewashing could inspire. Having said that I like your bricks and the idea of using Domino....See MoreCan houzzers help me renovate our 1980s kitchen?
Comments (28)Could you swap the fridge with the wall oven, going by your photo both fridge and Wall Oven would fit side by side. I would definately have the fridge on the cook top wall and not on the other side of the kitchen. I see by the photo that the timber beam could be in the way, I would speak to your plumber who should have a simple solution on ducting the range hood. A simple one built into a special cabinet above the cooktop can recirculate or be ducted outside by either exposed stainless tube for your industrial/country look or have the ducting boxed in, the ducting can be flexable so no problem avoiding beams....See MoreColour scheme ideas for exterior of cream 1980's home
Comments (22)Do these windows face north? This should have a bearing on your decision. If north, east or west, consider a timber pergola, left natural if hardwood. Grow a Glory Vine over it so that winter sun can be utilized inside, while cooling in summer....See MoreRenovating a 1980s home
Comments (24)Secondly is daughters bedroom, we have a now tween that was most unimpressed that we bought a disgusting house 4 years ago, that we said we'd fix, which we did and promptly left it. Her main brief for us when house hunting was that we wouldn't renovate...however unfortunately it hasn't quite turned out that way. One of our promises to her is that her room is first. This is what we're working with. We're going to keep the built in study nook concept, she's asking for tropical wallpaper behind it, trying to decide if I think we should paint the rest of the room all white, or do a green feature wall to match in with the tropical wall paper in the study nook and the remainder walls white. Window treatments...I don't like curtains that finish at the sill height, so in this room I'm thinking maybe roller blinds, or roman blinds...but would appreciate any input. Problem is once I decide on something I get a bit funny about what goes everywhere else. So if this room gets roller blinds, I feel like that means all the bedrooms should have them for consistency. This is the other view of her room. The whole house has the timber veneer 70s/80s doors in every built in cupboard as well as on the doorways. Hubby wants to keep them...I'm less enthused, and thinking now to keep one or the other, ie replace all the entry doors to update them and leave the timber veneer on the wardrobes, or flip that and go for updated wardrobe doors and leave the veneers on all the entrances. Those hardwoods you can see in the hallway will run throughout the top floor, eventually we'll remove all the carpet and sand and finish the floors, but for now the carpet that is there isn't that old and can stay put....See MoreNick Morgan
