Jazz up a plain timber cottage street appeal
Comments (24)Do you have saw palmetto, it is a native groundcover plant in Florida, that has a tropical look and covers the ground through underground shoots, and would give you a bold look, in which you could weave an entrance walk from the street to your entrance terrace at the foot of your front steps. A less tropical choice would be spreading juniper. No lawn, just beds of shrubs. Be simple and bold. When you build your front steps, please use dimensions for outdoor steps. That is, the tread should be at least 12'(30 cm) and the ratio of risers to tread should be approximate: two risers plus one tread equals 26"(66 cm)....See Morere-roofing a small cottage
Comments (4)Darker colours draw more heat. In most places in Australia, light/medium is best. What climate zone are you in? Click to read:...See Moresouth facing farm cottage bathroom renovation
Comments (25)I'd definitely pursue the skylight idea, it will make a huge difference to the feel of the room. Particularly a skylight over a bath/shower can make the room look really great and is easier to install where the height to the pitched roof is shorter. The window is very narrow, not sure as it's kind of quirky & charming, otherwise replace with another wider old-style sash window or remove all together and just use the large skylight and good downlights. 1800mm wide is lovely for a bathtub against the back wall, and will make a nice focal point as you walk through the door and change the bathroom from looking like a narrow corridor as it currently tends to. Back wiht some fresh white subway tiles which will feel lovely in your farmhouse and with that lovely traditional door and some simple traditional tap ware/showerhead. I like your built in bath reference, I know feature stand alone baths are popular, but with small children, I'd forever be mopping up awkward spaces around it. You maybe able to reuse your existing bath if it's in good nick. Then a lovely vanity with recessed mirror cabinet built into the wall for lots of storage. I wouldn't fuss too much wiht the toilet, I'd keep it as is, tucked in the corner....See MoreAmazing extension to a double-brick cottage
