Hi
We're in the process of building this house but are having second thoughts about our colour choice...
http://www.renditionhomes.com.au/oxford_images.htm
The front is to be entirely rendered with simple bands around the windows and garage and straight quoins on the corners of the front of the house. So same style as this house but without the brickwork and fancy decorative detail.
We've chosen Woodland Grey for the roof and gutters, Paperbark for the garage door, fascias and downpipes, and the render and verandah posts are to be painted Paperbark. The bands and quoins are to be painted half strength Paperbark.
The house won't have the finials, etc as displayed - very basic at this stage. Eventually we'd like to add decorative brackets to the verandah posts.
BUT... should we paint the verandah posts in half strength Paperbark? It might look odd as the fascias are full strength Paperbark? Like they don't flow? But then if they're Paperbark they might just blend in with the whole facade and look just plain boring.
Then we look at that Surfmist roof and wonder whether we should've gone for that instead of Woodland Grey - !!!
Maybe it's last minute nerves but any thoughts would be much appreciated.
