Should we go skillion or trussed for rural coastal home roof? Any thou
Comments (1)Hi, We're building a modern rural home with similar proportions to yours. We're building skillion and loving it. The following link is my type of inspiration: I'll be interested to hear what you decide!...See MoreWhich colour scheme should we go with?
Comments (14)I really hate black and enjoy natural bathrooms. You can add colour in various ways, including towels, accessories. And change the accents as you get sick of them. I've never got over black baths that existed in my childhood (and looked dated then) - too dark for most spaces and show up soap, powder etc far more than natural tones....See MoreWhat should we do with our front door?
Comments (18)I love Julie Herberts classy ideas ! I am budget , cheap , sorry value for money . Without seeing the rest of your house , and the fact you have some grey ( everyone who paints grey should be arrested IMO haha ! ) , you need to do something . And that something is pretty easy . A couple of litres of the brightest Sunshine Yellow paint . Paint both sides of the screen door ( don't replace it -- it's budget we are looking at here ) ; paint the front door Sunshine Yellow ; paint all the white around the side-light windows in Sunshine yellow . Done . Or if you really want to go classy , go yellow as above , get 5 or 6 lengths of 40mm x 40mm timber , plane or sand the sharp bits off the corners , stain them a nice rich light-to-mid-brown , and screw them vertically over the side glass ! Colour and class , for under $500 ! The problem is you will look at a few other ugly windows , and put those wooden uprights over them too , and even try and hide some of the grey and beige with them too !...See MoreFor my exterior, should I go with off-white main or grey?
Comments (9)Definitely the off-white . But can I suggest that , dependingh on budget , a couple of things that I would change , that would add even more pride in your place , and also more resale . The wooden entry and wooden garage door are great features -- add some warmth ! Why not continue and reference that by adding the same cedar stained timber to at least the 'corner' charcoal coloured piece on the upstairs window -- both sides of the window may be too much ? And if possible ( I assume it is reasonably set plan , but doesn't hurt to ask/suggest ) I'd do that larger left 1 1/2 storied 'feature' ( is it presently concrete block , or grey tiled ? ) in a red antiqued brick -- it , combined with the redder toned timber accents , will really add to the look IMO ....See Moreme me
