what application was used for the pelican artwork?

5 years ago

Hello,

Would you please send some details on how the pelican artwork was made and attached/applied? I’m curious how this stands up to the elements.

Thank you!

Have a look at how this house would have been presented in 1928. See if you can find any archives from the firm which designed it. Pebble-dash has a long history of domestic use here, going back to the nineteenth century, and it is possible to renovate it or replace it with modern pebble-dash which looks very handsome. At one time a terrible pink pd was used (later twentieth century), but the look you would be after is a tawny, sandy-beach range of colours. Your house was built at a time when there was a great taste for creating manageable homes with subtle rustic touches to give a cottagey feel without making extra work for the maid/housewife or actually making it look like a real cottage (which at that time still meant the slums people were escaping as much as anything else.) The 20s were also a time when the popular taste for half-timbered and timber-framed buildings was very strong. The people who call the buildings in Canada and the US "Tudor" because of the timber decoration on the exterior derive their description from early 20th c useage in Britain. Real timber-framed etc buildings used render which had to be reparied and repainted pretty constantly. This is where pebble-dash, a vry tough material, comes in. I wouldn't lose it! I'd keep it and clean and mend it. If you get someone in to fix it the old-fashioned way you'll be surprised at the skill it takes (not unlike harling.) Look at the nice way it flares at the bottom so neatly. Don't lose these humble period details, I beg of you. But rethink the porch and hide the burglar-alarm.

I saw this kitchen in a magazine recently and finally found it here on Houzz. Love the bold colors and open airy feel to the whole house- this would be my dream kitchen (house) if I had the $$$ to redesign or build from scratch. There are more pictures of the actual the kitchen in the magazine...but not on here sadly.

Hi Patrina and Jules I hope you've both had a good lockdown? I've been slowly getting on with things in the house while working from home. Doing a lot of volunteering too until getting a bug (not that one apparently) in the last couple of weeks, so not much time for Houzz, sadly. We've built a big planter in our communal back lane, planted a wisteria by the front door, and we're halfway through painting the hall a deep emerald green. We realised looking at the bedroom photos today that there's already a big graphic statement made by the wardrobe doors. We only noticed the doors aren't identical once we'd put them up! The plan is to put two identical doors in the middle, with one each of the other pair on either side. Anyway, as the room is quite shallow, I think anything graphic on the opposite wall might clash, so what I need (if anything) is something textural and possibly unstructured. Other half is keen on Jules MC's stringy panel, but I think it might be a bit too Boho and 'young'. I'd enjoy making it though!

What colour for contrasting island and worktop?

Thank you both for responding. I really appreciate it Sonia Im not sure abut a very pale colour especially on the island which is really dark grey. I think it would be high maintenqnce to keep looking clean and a bit too much of a contrast? If you have found any similar I would love to see. I have looked but nothing that grabs me Marylee I put the worktop sample upside down sorry! I know what you mean re more wood though I have seen lots of examples where people have done it successfully. I guess it would have to match exactly. It's giving me such a headache!!
