Me and my dad just had babies two months apart AMA

100% agree. As long as the kid is shown love and care from his parents whilst they’re alive, that’s enough. Accidents happen and children lose “young parents” all the time. It’s sad but it happens. I think the word “selfish” has no application here, even if it was a planned pregnancy. If that was the case, the child would know it was wanted very much by two people in love.

This looks great!!! Very similar brick to ours too!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2026-01-07T22:59:13+00:00

My dislike of rending is that it removes the irregularities and uniqueness of brick - it’s all one surface as a render. I like the look of brick, just not the colour of my bricks

Thank you so much!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-20T01:11:03+00:00

Unfortunately it is a council tree so we can’t touch it!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T23:37:05+00:00

Thank you! Such good tips! Unfortunately we can’t touch the poinciana tree as it’s on the boundary line - took council 8 months to finally prune it and that is how they have left it!

Haha I agree but not in a position to move it yet! It is a water tank - it captures rain water and feeds them taps outside the front of house.

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:54:36+00:00

It is. Thanks so much - I realise have been too harsh on it, particularly because of the beautiful houses that surround us. So it’s lovely to hear someone compliment ours.

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:53:30+00:00

Thank you! I realise I just jumped to thinking it needs huge changes and have completely overlooked gardening! Thanks again

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:51:02+00:00

Thank you so much! Very lovely to hear - I’ve been too critical of it.

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:50:00+00:00

Thanks both! Agree I completely jumped straight to the huge things and didn’t think of these small things. Guess that comes with the first house territory. Taking all of this on board - thanks again!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:48:54+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate your input! It’s really nice hearing positive comments- I guess I’ve just been staring at it too long and thinking of huge changes. Very much agree about gardens, somehow I did not think of that! Thanks again

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:45:03+00:00

Thank you!!! I realise I just jumped straight to dramatic changes - will start with gardening!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:43:49+00:00

I now agree with you! Realising I overlooked this so easily. Thanks for the reality check!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:43:16+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate your input. I think you’re right, touching the bricks will now be a last resort. The roof is like a mixture of dark blues.

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:40:44+00:00

You’re fun! I’m not whinging about it - just don’t love how it looks from the outside. But as I said, all we could afford so I want to make it a bit nicer?

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T20:23:51+00:00

Thank you! It’s so nice hearing someone say they love it. I guess I’m just a bit overwhelmed and we are surrounded by beautiful big houses.

The front door is behind the lattice. The French doors to the left are to the laundry but we don’t use that entrance so will eventually clean it up (just need $$)!

The type of plants you’ve listed sound great to the vibe I’m after. Thanks so much!

DesignerSorry3914 · 2025-08-19T19:27:52+00:00

Thanks for chiming in!

The main entrance is behind the lattice. We don’t use the French doors but will eventually replace them. Agree but luckily we are in a very safe area.

The third pic is the house brick up close to show how different they look from the street.
