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

We do need a photo. What colour is the roof?

Yeah. I agree with Hayley. Upload it into an ideabook and then i think you can use colour picker

would also love to know the best method but best food safe products would be olive or other cooking oil and let the everyday knocks and bumps add to the patina over time
