Red brick dilemma
Comments (14)I think the house could look really good either way. With a big enough budget and if you are up for dealing with possible quality problems and ongoing maintenance then changing the colour and making other updates could completely modernise the facade. But keeping the red brick could look better too. I lived in a red brick house and hated it but after seeing so many nice red brick houses I have come to realise what a huge difference the colour of the trims and the landscaping makes to such a distinctive colour. That front window is really prominent so it's important to get the window colour right. I like georgi02's suggestion of new double-glazed windows. I think there is more value in improvements with a practical benefit so you have the opportunity to do that. The patio and stair tiling looks neither matching nor contrasting so perhaps look at that. Lots of dense green foliage contrasts well with red brick so landscaping could make the red bricks a real feature....See MoreRoof colour dilemma on 80s brick house

Comments (24)nomadicmel - I would not consider removing the window at all - ventilation is so important, or you will give yourself even more problems, especially if you are having a dryer in there. Have you given consideration to where that will be vented anyway. If you are planning ahead for teenagers (and good luck with that) having a bath in one room and a shower in the other will be a very good investment, teenagers are anal about their privacy, but do be very mindful of storage - a vanity in the laundry will really be important - just somewhere to put a hair dryer for example....See MoreKitchen tile advice - stacked or brick layout
Comments (11)This may sound horrible but I keep thinking black tiles definitely where the range hood is going . ...could it be The hero of the kitchen area ? The rest of the tiling in white but not to the ceiling ( too commercial or bathroomish for my liking ) ..I would consider white floating shelves on the narrow walls on either end of your windows to add practicality to the modern look . As for Tiling...the area you have is generally is not a large space for tiling unless you go to the ceiling so I would keep the tiling low no matter which design you choose stacked or other. However, I would tile the range hood area up to the window line (in white to complete the white tile look or black to make the big bold black range hood stand out and take centre stage .) I also love Herringbone tiles for modern kitchens /bathrooms. But not knowing how busy your bench is plain stack may be the way to go . Good luck ENJOY your kitchen !...See Moreoklouise
