HELP with new colour scheme please
Comments (1)Greys would look good in these rooms. I wouldn't paint the paneling. Rather than a mirror over the fireplace a large scale painting would look good....See MoreWhat colour should we paint our pergola?
Comments (27)Thanks for all the great ideas everyone and sorry I didn't explain the polycarbonate a bit better :) This is along the lines of what we'll be using... http://www.psp.co.nz/building-brands/corrugated-sheeting/suntuf-polycarbonate The area is an absolute sun trap and we're hoping to use it as an extension to our living space, especially on rainy days! I've just sent my husband out to get a few pots of different stains for is to try - darkest brown (cedar) and a lighter brown (rustic oak) both by Cabots + the black we already have. Hopefully we can decide between one of those! I probably should have mentioned we will have black aluminium pool fencing running along the top of the second retaining wall - so the real question is do we keep everything black (pool fencing, horizontal fence, retaining walls and pergola) or do we go with a dark (or even light) brown for the pergola and retaining walls.... We just keep going around in circles at the moment. Decisions, decisions! Thanks again :)...See MoreWhat to do with the fireplace?
Comments (12)Is that a window in center above the hearth? Is rock just a facade? Looks like you have a mixture of furniture styles. Windows look more of the modern style while drapes are traditional. I would say pick one style and go with that. From the windows I'd be leaning modern/ contemporary. If the rock is just stuck on wall take it off. Replace with horizontal wood planks stained same as your door casings. No mantle. If that is a window I would either have a stained glass insert made (again using modern lines) or do a faux stain glass painting treatment to add some visual interest....See MoreWhite walls and ceiling: Same or different white?

8 years agoThough I too said, your fireplace was fine. I still did not feel satisfied. i was not involved in the first dilemma, though I remember seeing it. i looked in your design books and i believe that you and I would
A) be much happier if you broke them up more.
B) like it better if you did a slightly off color to the arch as in this pic you have, nearly all your pics are like this.
see, almost the same color.

Bayfront House 1 · More InfoLet me know if you want me to remove any, i have about a week to do it.
regarding the fireplace, it does not appear you can go lighter, and since the tile, or crystals whatever is inside, now looks darker, i would go one to 2 shades darker, but not much. Hope it helps!

Still have to put a second coat, pot the plant, clean up our mess.
Would you put any decorations on the fireplace?
