• We’ve changed our minds about cladding the whole front of the house and the idea of faux barn aesthetic and embrace the extended 60’s build it is.
    With that in mode the new plan is;
    Paint the oak door sunflower yellow (we like the shape and design just not the finish) (kettle for inspiration)
    Render the recessed porch(?) bit and paint the whole thing in the same yellow including the ceiling. (I wanted high gloss tiles, but have been overruled)
    Replace the terracotta floor tiles on the step with black slate to the ground.
    Build simple wooden rectangular planters to go under each window, stained black.
    Board and batten clad the set back extension, stained black.
    Stain log store black.
    Put up 3 scaffolding poles to finally fit the sail car port thing we’ve had forever.
    And then relax as if.
    Any thoughts, advice or ideas great fully appreciated.

  • Keep the porch tiles.
    Plan sounds good.
    I'd be tempted to change the windows though, that would have the biggest visual impact.

  • Haha! We’ve just had them done! I didn’t like coloured ones and these were the best style we could manage on our budget. I think they are so much better that the old ones though.
    Original bungalow and then was we bought it
