I'd go Monument on the lot except for the eaves... but wouldn't go Bogart, but rather towards a lighter/cream tone. Dulux do an interesting paint chart atm you can pick up from the paint shop that pairs colours well - and from memory there is a good blue/cream match. I really like the way Monument makes the orange bricks come to life - they really pop out and become a feature. Tend to think Borgart muddies the colours, flattening the look and making it a bit bland. Would go gloss on the frames/door, though - the paint sample looks matt? 2. If the tone of the eaves match the tones of whatever you are going to end up putting behind that window there - curtain, blind, shutter... then there would be even more balance, maybe... 3. Might be time to shop around for a light that goes with the new look .... donate the amber glass to a good cause (!) 4. Green plants in large terracotta pots would look kinda amazing in front of all that - looks like a cement base area with extensive shade.. gardenias would thrive perhaps.. but lots of choices there - either way the terracotta orange would bring the same impact in contrast to the Monument. 5. And then I'd go silver outside light with a silver feature over the security door screen (which it looks like part of it it already is) - if you aren't going plain. But hey.. they can feel like really big decisions... So.. just my 10c worth..

And yes, it all seems like a huge decision sometines...I'll keep plugging away and it will all happen ! So to sum up: Roof - Monument or do nothing for the moment Gutters/fascia - Monument - (but will check out what Bogart looks like ) then will paint one side of the house that is in little view and decide from there. Under eaves - tentatively Bogart but will look at options. Door Frames / Windows - Monument ( gloss ) I'll get a Monument security door (s ) ,I think doing the front one as well so at least that decision is out of the way. With the door frames / windows monument I can at least get started on that bit. thanks all, I'm nearly there ! No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11625 Hi, Looking to add an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and make it a Master BR.
