Facade Dilemma HELP
Comments (9)I like existing brick but not that shade of green so I'd clad new extension in complementary colour to brick walls that aren't to be extended and I like white windows if roof doesn't need tiles replaced repointing etc I'd leave You could do basalt colour gutters etc and cladding with white trim on gables and depending on views light have some more modern perhaps double glazed windows on extension. Windows need to be all same colour on the front wall eg white painted timber if that's what your existing colonial windows are but don't need to be same shape. Just some ideas...See MoreRed brick facade update advice
Comments (14)Scyon cladding , wider boards fitted vertically instead of render would look great, less maintenance and looks amazing, along with your planned formal garden would give your home a real edgy look, google Scyon for some really inspirational ideas....See More80s facade update ideas please!
Comments (46)Jessica Craig, I thought you might like to know this. When my daughter was a baby and I took her for swimming lessons, I met another wonderful Mum Wendy and her daughter, Sophie. Sophie's father had recently passed away and so Wendy was trying to adjust to the hand that fate had dealt her. They had not long purchased their house too. We have remained very close all these years and I can report that both Soph and Wendy are a force to be reckoned with. Sophie (now 15) is a talented singer, is doing well at school and has oodles of personality. Wendy is studying online and working towards fulfilling her dream of one day writing a children's book. The house has been renovated and is a very warm and welcoming home. It has not always been an easy road as single mum for Wendy, but it continues to get richer as the years move by. I hope that in some of your harder moments, this may bring some small level of comfort to you....See MoreHelp to improve our orange brick facade / overall curb appeal
Comments (11)Thank you oklouise The house started out as a small single storey fibro house (left section). By the time we bought it, it had a 2 storey extension 6.2m w x 12.1m d added to the right side and the whole house was bricked over - leaving a strange stairwell on the side of the new extension (which we faux brick stamped 15+ years ago as it was bright white). There is a small step down to the front verandah but still good head height. The current garage doors are also quite high at 2.5m and would not need to be as high when replaced. So hoping the bulk head (if that is all we come up with) would be consistent / level across the front. That was just my first thought, but fresh eyes and fresh/other ideas are welcome!...See Moregill jessup
