Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Feb 29, 2016 6:39 pm As you can see our house and fence needs painting. My husband wants to keep it the same colour it is. I hate the Maroon. I was thinking surfmist and monument(but the tiles on roof are maroon will that look silly?) Any other suggestions on colours we might be able to compromise on? Will the modern colours look silly on an old house like ours? I am still deciding but thought we could do surfmist boards, white (not sure what white) around windows and monument around gutters and front door? Or should I do windows in monument too if we go these colours? Oh and if we go these colours would you do surfmist fence, monument poles or opposite. Rail around verandah monument or surfmist? Here is pic of our house.

No offence to anyone that has those or likes those heritagey colours just not my cup of tea! When we sold I had to repaint the gutters and so badly wanted to change the whole lot but wasn't prepared to spend the time and money for someone else to enjoy! But like you I would've modernised it a bit if we hadn't decided to sell and build. Good luck convincing your hubby....that's always the hardest part Thankyou so much ๐ I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK ๐ 2 7165 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3269 Title: Expert Tips for Painting Your Own House: Insights from Brisbane Painting… 0 282 |
