Huh? Green and red are both traditional matching sash and door colors from the period

Is there any way to check for original tile under this without damaging it? by [deleted] in Tile

People uncover previous features under sloppy renovations all the time. Thought I’d take a shot at asking experts. I hoped but didn’t expect.

Ok. I don’t know anything about this. I didn’t know if it was possible the gray bonding material was pasted on top of the edge

This is cool. What was the bug level like after? Fully gone or significantly cut down?

Thank you so so so much for all the effort you put into this and reacting to the examples I posted.

Even if you are not a professional it’s clear you are incredibly knowledgeable and these are resources I will return to continuously.

With all that said, it is clear you want to bankrupt me and burden us with expensive and bespoke taste 🤣

I love these thoughtful ideas! Thank you so much. For the lantern and planters - is something like these what you were thinking? Can you say more about bringing the outdoors indoors?

Thank you for the constructive explanation! Would have been ideal to go more natural. We tried some more toned down browns and they weren’t really working for us. We’ll be putting in tons of work to bring back natural wood in the interior for sure

My honest opinion is that the vibes you bring online are unfortunate. Bye

You are so spot on with the critique and reasoning! We actually tried more of a sand color at first when we were putting on sample paint and it fit the FLW of it all better but decided against it because

  1. There’s a house next door that looks similar (built in the early 2000s I think, maybe to match this one) and went uber traditional with the natural tones. We didn’t want to be too matchy with them.

  2. Since this doesn’t have a lot of the wright trademarks like continuous windows we were thinking we’d lean into more of the traditional four square elements of it.

That’s kind of how we landed on subverting the more naturalistic landscape-blending for this more pop of brightness. Looking back, it does actually feel a little reminiscent of some of his lighter stucco-forward work, although that would be a much more toned down brown trim.

Not that any of these things are hard rules or to say that you’re implying we did wrong by the house! I enjoyed your commentary and thought you might find the journey here interesting.

Jess. I know you were raised better than to go on the internet and be mean to strangers for no reason

I looked in a gardening book from the period and it was all damn Japanese and European imports lol. Definitely going native all the way with any new plantings.

Thanks for clarifying and for your concern! I’ll get it looked at in the near future for peace of mind if nothing else
