What colour to repaint?
Q

What worries me is the fact that you are talking about damp proofing.......in a very high percentage of cases, damp proofing is totally pointless. Lack of ventilation/broken downpipes/painted bricks/no gaps around the base of the house......these are a few of things that stop the house 'breathing'. If you haven't already, please look into it further otherwise you could just be chucking thousands of pounds away. Oh and in my opinion you shouldn't use mizzle it's way too green for that space. I agree with using the light and bright paint....it worked for me in a dark Victorian stairwell.

What to do with our mock Tudor external?

I love this! I’m really wanting add Tudor cladding to our garage and I love the way you have all photoshopped to see it before you do it. How do I do this? I’m thinking render and Tudor cladding above the garage and rendered within the porch area. We’ve just had the garage door painted and I feel it needs something extra. a couple of houses on the street have Tudor cladding so it wouldn’t look out of place.

How old is the house? If the fireplace originally had a coal fire then it could be salts and not damp. This should explain all https://www.heritage-house.org/damp-and-condensation/types-of-damp-what-have-i-got/salt-damage-in-old-buildings.html We had the same when we replastered the office, we simply used some Zinsser paint to cover the patches and re painted with emulsion. Problem solved? Who knows but the “wet” looking patches have not returned.

Have you checked the ground levels outside the property? They may be too high. Also are there any ground level vents to allow air to the sub floor? I’m guessing there’s not if it’s been filled in with concrete. I have a similar issue but on a smaller scale at the front door of my Victorian property where it’s been filled with concrete. I put natural stone tiles down to allow any moisture to evaporate. I also recommend you take a look at a website heritage-house.com. Lots of information on here before you go looking at a damp proofing company. Hope you manage to solve the issue. Good luck.

The kitchen looks great. I am curious what the floor material is also. Is it Bamboo? I am not a fan of green. My personal preference would have been to paint the walls a light beige. It may make the look a little warmer and sophisticated. The final product is still beautiful. Bright and cheery. Enjoy it!!

Pretty! I find the stove a little too small for the space, though.

Personally I liked the original better. A different paint color on the wall and new backsplash and it would have been good to go.

WOW!!! That is an awesome transformation! Before was a hideous cabinet colour and looked dreadful with the appliances. Plus, glad you got rid of the fish! I like the colour of the cabinets after and the lighted cabinets above are charming. The cabinets work well with the green on the walls. The only thing I'd quibble about is did you put vinyl on the floor? Do people still do that? No, no, no. Tile, stone or wood. If you must go sheet flooring then real linoleum not vinyl. Never vinyl.

Looks great, love the new hood range and I've always wanted one of those taps (don't know what they're called at the stove) placement of the microwave and lighting is nice. I think the floor probably looks a lot better in person and I'm guessing it's cork?

Nice cabinet work, but I associate stainless steel appliances with the housing boom and bust of 10 years ago. I really wish designers would move on. Why does anyone want their appliances to pop out visually like that?

It is pretty easy see the angles of before and after pictures. It is not that confusing. Great renovation - cheery, bright and refreshing comparing to the old & dark before. I would love if the hardwoods were continued into the kitchen . Great job!

It's nice, if a bit institutional. I'm sure the owner will add warmth through accessories. The refrigerator door needs to be reversed.

Yes, the floors are bamboo and the counters are quartz. More pictures can be seen at http://www.houzz.com/projects/298758/Heritage-Home-Kitchen and https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.520933647973790.1073741828.279787098755114&type=1

I totally love that you removed the dropped soffits and ran the uppers to the ceiling. (I did the same) and great minds do think alike. What I like the most.....you did what you like, and isn't that why we live through these renovations?

People click on the comment picture form Design works...you can see the kitchen from all angles.The cabinets are even more yellow than the first picture.I don't like that.

I would just change the counters and the flooring. The wood cabinets in the old are better than the plain whitish shaker cabinets in the new.

If DIYers had done this I would be nice. Not so sure if it's better. Layout is better and cabinets to the ceiling, but just not sure about any of the rest. If the customer likes it, that's all that matters, they write the check. Nice looking kitchen either way.

Maybe it's the lighting but the cabinets look yellow, if that's case, I would have chosen a shade of white instead. Like the style of the cabinets & everything else but I don't like the paint color nor the flooring.

I like that you got rid of the soffit. Love that the cabinets go all the way to the ceiling. Is the kitchen supposed to be a yellowish color or is it the lighting?
