Project Repaint - the reveal


FRONT DOOR 



A huge transformation for the front door going from a timber frame to an aluminium one.  We reconfigured the windows and added louvres for ventilation.  Very happy with our modern looking front.  Next step is to look at shutters or blinds for these windows.  We are lucky our front garden gives us privacy and we haven't felt the need to rush and cover up the windows.  We quite like the openness of it.


STREET FRONTAGE



With rotted timbers replaced it was nice to say goodbye to the yellow and herald in more contemporary colours.


KITCHEN SIDE



There is still plenty of work to be done on this side of the house (namely the courtyard and fencing).  Hoping to spend more time out here when winter is over.


BEDROOMS/CARPORT SIDE




BACK



We didn't get the pergola painted because we plan on tearing it down and putting in a deck with a new pergola.  The current ground has a slope to it which doesn't make it practical for outdoor furniture.  A deck will level it out and make it a more functional space.


ENTRANCE



Our painter did some interior painting for us.  Our open plan lounge room, dining and upper hall way all needed some refreshing.  We had it painted Dulux Natural White to match the kid's bedrooms I painted myself.  Originally, we were not going to have the maroon coloured feature wall repainted, mainly because we couldn't agree on a colour.  However, our hand was forced when our painter started spot repairing the timber.  We decided to paint it the same black as our front door.

Love the outside house colour and the choice of colour for the lounge feature is great.
