Help! What colours should we choose for the exterior?
Comments (21)I found a pic earlier of a light grey Edwardian house with charcoal windows on houzz as shown. I also found one of the french grey and agree it looks green so I am not doing my house in that either although it does look nice on windows with cream render! Little Greene have some fab colours so maybe a pale but warm grey. Do also try the Dulux heritage colours if you want a period colour...See MoreWhat colour should we paint our pizza oven?
Comments (5)Thanks for your kind comments! We have designed and completed the work on the garden ourselves (mainly my husband) so it means a lot. It's the dome bit that needs the colour, the base will have wood around the bottom and some tiles on the top. Thanks for finding those pictures, like the aqua one...See Moreshould we do fence of hedge in front of our small front garden.
Comments (16)Nice job on the house. Looks very smart:) Personally I prefer to see a hedge in a front garden but with a low wall in front to prevent soil/debris from spilling out on the pavement. Griselinia littoralis has beautiful evergreen apple green foliage that would look lovely against the house, fast growing and can kept trimmed to about eyelevel and 2ft thick. Plus there are many other plants that can be used as hedging depending on your requirements. Yew and privet are also good choices as these can be kept neat and tidy, although privet requires more regular trimming. Your cheapest option however is probably going to be fencing as this will require less ground work. A low wall approx 1ft high will not need much foundation work so also reducing cost. Hedges will need a certain amount of soil preparation but this is something that can easily be done by yourself. I’d ask a few local landscape gardeners to give you a few rough ideas on cost....See Moreshould I paint the fence cream too? what do you think?
