Asking for your advise... We have just purchased this house in Brisbane... can you share your thoughts.. ? - Should we paint the blue at the front a more neutral colour.. such as white or that dark yellow.. or another colour, if you have any ideas please share! - We want to replace the fence (we have pets and the little poodle can climb that fence any day) should we go brick bagged fence OR white 2m high picket fence? Concerned about it matching the colonial style of the house.. we would then want to add a sliding gate on the left hand side. My first time uploading pics. How do I add more than one photo???? Thanks everyone! Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 2Dec 09, 2008 10:15 am Ah!

I’ll have a better look later, very nice house by the way Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 9Dec 09, 2008 10:54 am Thanks Michelle (for your opionion and link on how to upload the photos)!
Didnt even think about that, didnt even notice the blue on the gutters, could be a good option. Hubby thinks that it should be all white.. but I think those timbber railings are supposed to be a different colour.. Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 10Dec 09, 2008 11:13 am I like it exactly how it is. If you do change the poles, I think making it go with the lighter roof will look nicer than making them too dark, as the white around it will suit it better, if that makes sense. What a beautiful house! Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 11Dec 09, 2008 11:15 am Cant' you keep you pooch in the backyard? & not remove your gorgeous front fence ??
A solid front fence would be 'too heavy' for your beautiful home, imo.

Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 13Dec 09, 2008 11:18 am Thanks Mrs_Smith,
It is a very cute house, we have been looking for an ultra modern house for about 6 months before we found this one.. it feels like home if you know what I mean.. I do like the front, does not bother me too much but its the hubby who wants to change it.. I'm just happy to have our new home and no more renting after 19th Dec! What do you think about the fence? Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 14Dec 09, 2008 11:23 am Thats what I thought re the fence.. I supose another option would be to create 2 side fences to seperate the back and front yard... that would save a bit in $ too.. Thanks you guys are great. Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 15Dec 09, 2008 11:24 am I like it just the way the fence is too! It's such a beautiful home. But I can understand why you want to change it. Could you make a taller version of the fence there? It really suits the house, and if you put up a big picket fence or anything like that, it would hide the house. The fence there at the moment, even if it was taller, still shows off the house and suits that style.

Its only 3 years old.. we purchased it from a builder who lived there with his family. Our building and pest report was very good, the inspector said everything that was used was done to perfection and top quality materials etc. Cant wait to move in, 5 days before Christmas Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 19Dec 09, 2008 12:24 pm I personally wouldn't change the fence at all - it is pretty accurate history wise so agree that making a separate fenced area at the back for the dogs would be better visually.
Gorgeous home - congratulations. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Thoughts please- should I paint it? 20Dec 09, 2008 1:44 pm What a stunning home, I would remove the wire and replace with pickets the same height. I am guessing your dog can climb it because of the ladder style wiring. I wouldn't be going any higher with the fence. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit.

Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7140 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 15976 |
