Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 19, 2009 11:10 am Hi, Ok so my partner and I have finally decided on Victorian Blue Bricks with Colorbond Monument Roof and Gutters! I am just a bit unsure of what to do with the fascia, windows, garage & front door. Ive attached a link to the Boral website which shows a pic of a house we really like, and it uses the vic blue brick with monument colour roofing, but it has a white garage and white front door? I really like this pic but am just unsure about the white garage?? Will this get really dirty??? I know it looks really modern etc.. But am just unsure how it will go?? This house has monument fascia and dark grey windows, i like this too, and i will go this combination if we have the white garage? I am just thinking should we be having a monument garage to match the roof?? and then if we did that say have a shale grey fascia and shale grey windows?? To lighten it all up? I am just really unsure!! http://www.boral.com.au/Docs/Project/Br ... ofessional Any suggestions would be so much help! Thanks! Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 2Aug 19, 2009 11:44 am Hi Rachel, I really love the white with those bricks, it does look modern and fresh. We have a white garage and have had in the past, they can get a little dirty but we just hose it down. Will you be doing some white render as well? Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 3Aug 19, 2009 12:05 pm Hi Suh, You dont see white garages around that often so its nice to know you have used one!! That is my main drama, how dirty it gets but your right i guess you just hose it down! No i dont think we are doing render, we can if we want to but i was thinking the white garage door, white front door and u will see my white shutters through the front windows would be enough white to lighten up the dark brick and roof? Im worried that the white garage door on that house in the pictures only looks good coz of the white render as well?? What other colour garage door would u have? Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 5Aug 19, 2009 12:28 pm I know me neither! Its so hard! Do u have any other garage colour suggestions? Do you think if we had the same colour as the roof would it all be too dark looking? Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 6Aug 19, 2009 12:38 pm Well it probably would look okay, just not as outstanding.....what colour driveway will you have? Why don't you do the white render, the house in the photo has white blinds too and it doesn't look too much. Would anyone else like to help out here!!!!! Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 7Aug 19, 2009 12:39 pm Hi Rachel This is your facade isn't it? http://www.mcdonaldjoneshomes.com.au/te ... pertyID=11 top row last one? I would definitley be doing the bit of render to balance the facade, or maybe even doing moldings round the windows, and having them painted like on Wakeboardandy's house viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9273&hilit=WAKEBOARDANDY&start=520 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 8Aug 19, 2009 12:39 pm trying suh!! 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 9Aug 19, 2009 12:50 pm Suh - I think we will do a dark grey driveway so match in with the roof etc.. Jess - Yep that is our facade!! I was thinking we could render the column bits in between the 5 skinny windows to tone in with the garage but not sure if that would look a bit funny or not?? I really like the white but just not sure what to do... Vey hard! Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 10Aug 19, 2009 12:53 pm Or what if i didnt do the white render and maybe did a white fascia? would that maybe balance it all out a bit? I am so not good at this... Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 11Aug 19, 2009 12:56 pm White fascia could work - maybe ask d@n to do another photoshop for you? 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 13Aug 19, 2009 1:14 pm How can I post a word document on here, I copied Rachel's facade and coloured in bits but it's a Word file not jpg....

If you put white shutters in those windows, it should balance it.... i think. I like that facade. We are also building with mjh. Where are you building? buzz Re: Victorian Blue/White Garage Door Exterior Colour Sheme!!Help 20Aug 19, 2009 2:17 pm Suh - did you still need my email address, or will you be able to post a photoshop pic on here? Thanks so much for putting something together for me, im bad with computers and colours!!!! Jess - Thanks for pointing out the thread for Suh! Buzz - We are building on the mid north coast, NSW! I am struggling do badly at the moment choosing colours, so hard!!! My partner really likes Vic Blue so we are sticking with that brick and the monument roof and gutters for sure, im just not sure about garage door/fascia/front door etc... Because the brick and roof are dark i am thinking white or something light to break up the dark, but i am just unsure about a white garage door??? Or then im thinking, maybe do a white/surfmist/shale grey facsia, do a monument garage door to match the roof and then white front door, and have my white shutters showing thru the windows... So unsure!!! Thankyou for all your help everyone tho, much appreciated! Keep it coming! Dover white or surfmist garage door. I am having trouble choosing a garage door.
