Best Exterior paint for newly rendered house?
Comments (11)I've just been looking. Awesome. My last house was a victorian reno. We had an old scullery and it hadnt been touched since the 60s was amazing what we found. But your house is simply divine. We have similar taste so trusting you even more now on my exterior paint job. This house has been everything i dreamed of so far. Will send you all the interior shots when we have the fish in the wall! Yep we have a 6 foot fishtank in the wall!...See MoreWhich shade of white satin for exterior Victorian Sash Window?
Comments (9)Hi Daniel, I would propose a couple of things here. Firstly, if you own the property, pressure washing the stock bricks is what is truly needed here. Unfortunately this isn't a "cheap" solution, because you will also have to repoint with what looks like lime mortar. But this will give you that stunning exterior that you are looking for and means the crisp white windows will look spectacular and you will be very proud of your gorgeous home. If you need a quick fix however and a much cheaper solution you will unfortunately be matching to "dirt". That is fine as long as you appreciate that the colour of your bricks is not their natural tone (I always kind of liked the old London stock brick look anyway) and you can use it to play an industrial edge to your look (if that is your thing). In terms of paint colours, I have a few choices for you. I would always try these in situ and see how they look (because depending on the direction your house faces, the colour of the paint and everything that it is reflecting around it will impact the end result). That is why you are getting that grey look to your crisp bright white. I made a mood board for you, so that you could visualise what I mean a little better. I hope this helped you. Good luck! P.S. I love your house!...See MoreAdvice on a complementary shade of white paint for our open plan room
Comments (4)Thanks for the suggestions ... so helpful. We actually have timeless currently in our bedroom and love it ... but I think the problem is that we have a brilliant white gloss kitchen and I think that timeless may be a bit of a clash of the whites. I think perhaps neutral greys as suggested are the way to go? The flooring will be porcelain tiles in the kitchen which will meet a karndean/moduleo type of vinyl flooring in the lounge area and we are looking at something with grey/brown tones as below, as we have a sandy coloured U shaped sofa. http://www.tilegiant.co.uk/synergy-perla-10mm.html http://www.moduleo.co.uk/product/blackjack-oak-22246...See MoreUpdating a small, white-tiled bathroom and colour advice please.
Comments (15)Sanitary ware. I'm having a crisis of decision making. I bought a new sink and vanity from IKEA: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/washstands-taps/wash-stands/fullen-t%C3%A4lleviken-wash-basin-cabinet-white-spr-39891444/ However, it's occurred to me since that it'll take up too much of the room/floorspace, especially as the sink faces you as you walk in. I've been looking at other designs, and the wall-hung sink with a nicer-looking chrome waste could be a much better option. Added to this, if I'm tiling the floor, I'll probably need to buy a new loo, and IKEA doesn't do matching loos. Therefore...where can I buy a basic loo/basin package? What's the difference between a 'toilet and basin' and a 'cloakroom suite'? Should I go for one or two tap holes? Am I wasting my money? Should I just update the taps on the existing sink and tile-box in the waste?...See Moreaustralasia78

4 years agoI agree that Johnstone’s trade paint is not an exact match. Very good quality paint tho and very easy to paint with. I had F&B Stoney ground colour matched for my kitchen walls. Got samples of both and could see the difference but actually preferred the Johnstone’s colour. Had a big tin mixed and once on the walls it changed again and was actually closer to the original F&B. But I agree, if you want an exact colour then best to just buy the original. Hard to judge colours from photos but this is Stoney ground in daylight, Johnstone’s match on the left.
