Modernising 1930s house exterior
Comments (23)The front of your home is lovely. Don't make any drastic changes like painting brick or rendering the entire facade. Instead, look at the front gardens of other homes in your area and study books on domestic landscaping for ideas. The picket fence, although very sweet, is not contemporary. If you want fencing, consider more sophisticated styles. Alternatively, planting a hedge in box or copper beech would give a sharp edge to the property and you can soften the frontage by growing an evergreen climber like clematis or honeysuckle. Additional box balls and pyramids in a partarre bed with herbaceous planting inside gives year round greenery and colour in the summer. Discuss the drive with your neighbour and consider a drive of pavers that will allow water to seep between instead of running off into the road. If your budget extends that far, replace the windows with the original 1930's style https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/94/c6/22/94c622f1fca67bef3b6c2a187cd57aca.jpg...See MoreBankton House - Before and After

Comments (20)totally agree with you. love original features. if the window is original in the bathroom then you've done a great job showing it off as it wasn't noticeable before. Love the bay too. so did they use the original glass or did they just replica the design? my own house is an old house unfortunately it was used as part business before so has lost a lot of features. over the next year we will be putting up an extension to replace one that had been added and will try and start sourcing some original items to put back Into the house. will think it will be a challenge at times but looking forward to it....See MoreBefore & After: Clifton Town House Kitchen Restoration
