Looking for thoughts to give this terraced cottage some more kerb appe
Comments (25)It's all about the colour of the render and front door. I would go for a dark paint on the render with a complimentary front door colour. Keep the windows white but think "Town House" look. The house is small so I'd go to the expense of using Farrow and Ball paint (often discounted at Bank Holiday time at the superstore beginning with H). Then improve the appearance of the windows by having window boxes, painted same colour as the render, filled with ever green plants such as a mix of Box and Ivy. We are going for the Town Smart Look here, and nothing can be more sad than a flower filled window box that needs attention. If you want an outside lantern then buy one that fits close to the wall like a "coach lamp" go for the most expensive that you can afford ideally in a galvanised grey colour. It will add considerable style to the property....See MoreHelp with bench choice in family area
Comments (10)Hi Kerry Thank you for your advice. We will look into the curtain idea for washing machine.. With regards the room, it’s a grey paint on the walls- no feature walls. The adjoining kitchen is a bright blue though so maybe it’s been reflecting. The link to the media unit is : https://www.atkinandthyme.co.uk/chakra-media-unit.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5NnbBRDaARIsAJP-YR-GxM5CWXzUL5fAYamHwjl_QpCHIal_wEpPh84zdeNYBu-4d2tWPHIaAgw0EALw_wcB I think we could do something like green cushions to go with it? I also need doormat for the back door so I could find something in green? Aside from that there’s a green plant pot. I am looking to have a gallery wall there so I can put some scenery with green plant filled photos too? Thank you...See MoreKitchen Diner needing some warmth...
Comments (46)Today, I got out all my F&B sample pots and painted those on cards. There are too many to list but around 7 colours in the grey/greige family. However to my surprise there is a company near me that does the full range of Little Greene Paints! I went to take a look through their samples and came up with these neutral/greys. I took a floor tile with me which the samples are sitting on top of in the picture. After looking through them all I decided to buy Slaked Lime 105, Slaked Lime Dark 151 and Rolling Fog 143 to paint on cards at home and put them in different areas of the room, against cupboards and furniture etc. One of the colours appear to blend best with the floor and the other blends better with the worktop...which is the best option? I’m guessing the floor? Also, if I tried the darker shade of either colour on one wall, for the lighter neutral walls should I use the same colour but the lighter version of the colour Example - Rolling Fog143 (darker wall) then Rolling Fog Pale158?...See MoreBack yard ideas
Comments (109)Hi ED, Thanks! Yep the eye of faith is crucial with winter garden makeovers! It'll be loads more plant dominated in a year or two. There's already a pump in the pond, which works as a standalone fountain, but can be adapted to power a cascade on the wall behind. We're having all sorts of whacky ideas like building a 'marble run' style sculpture incorporating all our favourite things, (archaeology, sci fi etc) or a commissioned metal sculpture that looks like a steel version of Virginia creeper....See Morecocolori
