Ugliest house in the street!
Comments (28)I do love a zinc roof, it will age beautifully and goes with everything. From soft country cottage to sea breeze blue hamptons style maybe you'd feel more comfortable . If you like both and are unsure which way you lean, a soft dove grey, or duck egg grey which has soft blue through it looks beautiful with white trims and details, as it mimics the horizon. Look at your neighborhood to make sure yours isn't s sore thumb! :)...See MoreSuggestions on how to 'jazz up' the front of red brick home
Comments (13)This is a nice simple style of home that's not going to date too badly. I agree with the above suggestions except for painting. Once you paint you can't go back. You'll always have to paint from then on. A simple timber front patio would look great (floor only). Modern landscaping, stencilled driveway (if budget permits) & then the widened entry (if budget permits). I think the most important element is the landscaping. Mass planting of only a few types of plants will have a great effect. Ask nursery staff for advice. Take a photo with you. Good luck & have fun :)...See MoreWhich of these is closest to your dream home?
Comments (16)They don't have nearly enough info on that house. Anyway, I can always pop in and out a chimney with my umbrella I used to be a Nanny you know. Wait now I'm mixing old movies. I think the Mad Hatter would be interested anywhere he is mad after all. We'll give him some keys to jingle. The hallways in that house would be great for getting up some speed in my chair. Talk about acting wild. One question, where does one hang there hat?...See MoreNeed help for giving this house a more interesting street appeal.
Comments (19)1) My cost saving suggestion to you is PAINT, this is going to give you the cheapest tool to change the Miners cottage appearance to attract attention. 2) Leave Roof as is, no Paint ,the roof being left natural to me gives it a studio edge.(and saves precious dollars 3) Wall colour in a darkish grey with all white trim, I was going to suggest a beige colour but it looks like your neighbour has these colours so that's why I'd go bold with wall & fence colour. 4) Perhaps you could build a small fence like the metal one I sent you, this would be made up with scrape material nd place to the R/H side of the driveway, can't see whats on that boundary 5) Gutter and eaves same colour as walls 6) Gates shinny black 7) Keep existing window & door shades and paint them all white, no stripes 8)Front door of your choice, Red and make the studio door a different colour to help students find there way, Yellow 9) Looks like you have a crushed gravel path running along the side of the house to the studio, try to define this from the gate so that you don't have everyone cutting across the verandah, 10) It would be good to have some screening on the Verandah, mesh or other affordable material. 11)Trim the grass, plant some hedging behind the fence and plant some red NZ flax plants off to the right side of the garden 12)Paint garage like house this would help to bulk out the building and make it look a bigger property 13) PAINT good luck...See MorePenny Lamb
