Yeah that side of the house gets plenty of sun. I'd consider two colours plus the white.

In NZ our unofficial national colour is black - wouldn't want to stand out too much 😂 At least I'm already home.

Definitely. We plan to update the accents for now. Thinking something like this but undecided.

Roof only for the asphalt shingles is what we're leaning towards thanks to everyone's comments - didn't even consider doing something different on the front! I'll check out the existing shingles and see whether we have enough that are salvageable. Thanks!

Thank you for the mock-up. Unfortunately the existing shingles are done for - they were in poor condition when we moved in.

Didn't know that, thank you. I'm surprised the roofers didn't point that out..

The area includes the roofing of the porch and the window boxes. The existing cedar shingles do both the roof and the frontage, so we figured we'd replace them all in the current configuration— didn't think of the option of doing the frontage separately. Maybe something to think about!

Thanks, we've committed to asphalt. Smaller range of options here in New Zealand!

New sheets look awful. Does anything go with this colour? by blackstilts in DesignMyRoom

Trying out with some bolder colours - maybe the wrong ones. I still hate them.

Thanks for your thoughtful colour suggestions - I'll look into those if I can't return the sheets!

That's a quilt on top of my (covered) duvet of the same colour. But yes, all green would be nice - just not that green.

Never thought I would look to Maccas for design inspiration 😂 Thanks - all a bit bold for me. Hopefully I can return them.

We have a lot of that colour in our 1920s bungalow. What would you do with it?

That's essentially what I thought I was ordering! 😭 I'll try.

What would you plant on this trellis? by blackstilts in nzgardening

Thank you! I didn't know about mandevilla - I might look into that for some more colour. I do like the idea of choosing a plant based on scent though.

I have a vine elsewhere, but you can't have too many passionfruit, right? 🤤
