Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 10, 2009 10:19 am Mish and others, can you help me please? Hubby and I went and chose colours for our home and I did a crappy job of 'painting' it all together and it doesnt look 'wow'. I think its the render, and so do some of the MV girls? It looks a little too 'creamy'? Mind you, this is not our final front elevations either (its just a photo of what we originally had - we know have one of those gorgeous portico things, hopefully!) http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/beautiful_exa/housemockup.jpg Austral Homestead Tan http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/beautiful_exa/P090809_1549.jpg Render Paperbark http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/beautiful_exa/ColourbondPaperbark.jpg Stacked Stone Grampians http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/beautiful_exa/GrampiansStackstoneCladding.jpg Roof Tiles Bristile Classic Yeoman Shingle Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Gutters etc possibly wood land grey?

Re: No 'wow' :( Help with Homestead Tan bricks 3Aug 10, 2009 10:30 am I am having the same problem. Scroll hald way down the thread to see the picture of a house I am basing my colours on. It has the Homestead Tan brick, with the dark roof tiles, and the paperbark fascias. THe render colour matches the paperbark. I also liked the way they picked the windows as a white birch to stand out with the mortar, as opposed to a paperbark. http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20736 Blog is now up - http://www.jbdave.blogspot.com/ Re: No 'wow' :( Help with Homestead Tan bricks 4Aug 10, 2009 11:21 am Hmm... thanks Now Im thinking we have too much render as well as the crappy colour... Maybe we should just do the right hand side? Custom European Cabinets - Melbourne Kitchen Specialist PM for business details as website currently being updated! Our Crazy Owner Builder Journey! Re: No 'wow' :( Help with Homestead Tan bricks 6Aug 10, 2009 11:49 am Where you have gone wrong is with the stackstone colour…..only, everything else is looking good. This is the colour or similar to what you should be looking for.

Re: No 'wow' :( Help with Homestead Tan bricks 14Aug 10, 2009 1:27 pm Thanks SuH Perhaps a rustic colour or brown tone or darker cream colour to pick up the earthy colour in the stackstone??

And I still dont know whether Im happy with the colour... seems too light? sorry for my multiple posts too Bam, your original stack stone choice is competing with your brick in colour. That’s why I suggested a lighter one so it goes with every selection. The amount of render is fine. Get samples Bam, that’s the only way to get it right.
