I've always struggled to describe what we're after because I don't have the architectural vocabulary, although I have a clear image in my head. "A classic weatherboard cutie with fretwork, wainscotting, sash windows" sums it up beautifully! We've come to the conclusion that we might have to do a lot more renovating than we'd previously hoped to broaden our options, which is something I'm feeling a lot better about after spending some time on your blog. Your before and after images have really broadened my notion of what's possible. I'm so enjoying following the blog of a local - a novelty for me!Katherinehttp://nelliewindmill.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007407573919733563.post-31720090659078176522012-03-15T01:33:09.454-07:002012-03-15T01:33:09.454-07:00Thanks Ruddygood..I like sassy.Thanks Ruddygood..I like sassy.Jo McComiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611197192154152930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007407573919733563.post-42819614536197481692012-03-15T01:25:42.136-07:002012-03-15T01:25:42.136-07:00I love that charcoal house..it's so HillsyI love that charcoal house..it's so HillsyJo McComiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611197192154152930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007407573919733563.post-16238075683476355262012-03-15T01:24:48.026-07:002012-03-15T01:24:48.026-07:00The burgundy is is so gawn...apart from in our bed...The burgundy is is so gawn...apart from in our bedroom and the scary thing is I'm starting to not notice it!<br />It's like waking up on the set of Moulin Rouge.Jo McComiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611197192154152930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007407573919733563.post-39303858581492133192012-03-14T22:55:39.034-07:002012-03-14T22:55:39.034-07:00Yup, I'm a fan of the charcoal.
There's ...Yup, I'm a fan of the charcoal. <br /><br />There's a gorgeous old girl here in my village, who was spruced up in tones of charcoal with a touch of – wait for it – pistachio green. On first glance I winced, but now I really admire it. Now it's sassy, and definitely NOT menopausal.ruddygoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869876730239753027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007407573919733563.post-46107409809870583432012-03-14T19:32:46.723-07:002012-03-14T19:32:46.723-07:00I would go the dark charcoal with a white trim and...I would go the dark charcoal with a white trim and a red / colour of your choice front door.
