My hubby and I are in the process of picking external colours and would love some help. Here is our facade: [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/26/facadei.png/img][/img] Hope that works - took me ages to work that out We are having a mixture of face brick being Austral Urbane one Pepper and also some render at the front.
