Comments (62)apennameandthata i don't know... vertical is more shed like style, while we still have a colonial style base and veranda. Dust will be an issue here (although its not so bad in that particular spot on a river, good protection from trees) but pressure wash will be regular practice anyway. Thanks for all your suggestions and I will take all on board, especially sandstone ideas. I don't this I want this house to look pretentious, but how can I describe that, I am after some subtle "wow" factor or something a bit different, but it must look like we knew what we are doing and YES, I want it to look like high quality build and not a transportable house or kit home. The house rectangle is so simple that I worry it may have that boring factor in its looks and that is why I am looking for some ideas. My problem is a tendency to overthink but I hope I will find a balance at some point :) At this stage I think: galvanised tin everywhere (or that zincalum), rusty steel posts, aluminum windows with timber look, sandstone features around main door and sandstone chimney. We had a big flood last year and the spot never goes under water, its on high grounds even though it is only meters from the river....See MoreLots of Renovation Advice Needed for Older Farmhouse (photos)
Comments (6)Thanks geluka, would like the laminate throughout but have been told not to put it in wet areas and kitchen, even though it is advertised as waterproof. My husband can lay the tiles (he's done that before) but the planks will be a new thing. Would love to get someone to do it but its costly. I am coming around to the grey lower cupboard - I will have a look at options. :) The splashback brown tile in the photo is now history, so yes a lighter splashback is best!...See MorePlease help us with ideas for our red brick farmhouse near Sydney
Comments (12)Hi oklouise, thank you also for your excellent ideas. We like the idea of the window seat, but in the first instance we will try removing the existing gable end and exposing the overhanging eaves as you suggested. We saw this sort of thing on some old houses in Orange (NSW) last weekend and really liked it, so it is uncanny that you suggested it. Do you think we could get away with a gable vent to make a bit of a statement, or do you think that might be a bit fussy? Regarding the roof, we are considering Shale Grey as it is light (and therefore will absorb less heat), and it it the Colorbond colour that supposedly most resembles old zincalume. However, we are still trying to work out if this works the best with our brick colour. Again, thank you for your advice !...See MoreDulux warm exterior colours for farmhouse
Comments (10)Its going to look awfully white IMO , even with the slight olive tones of the paint you have selected . If you look at the pic you captioned 'brick colour' , you see they have a darker roof to break the zones , and the olivey green tones of the window surrounds and crosses . Substitute your light grey roof , and essentially very light grey windows , over that picture , and it's not all that inspiring IMO . The brick isn't quite right as it is , and I realise it was chosen to be painted over , and I assume you aren't wanting to paint the roof yet , so all I'd suggest is going with the 'brick colour' as chosen , and do all the veranda columns and rails in either a black/charcoal , or maybe a similar mid-greeny olive tone to the 'brick' inspo pic , and also the base boards in that off-green ( it would work with either green or charcoal IMO ) ....See MoreKate
