Any advice on how to tie it into modern decor and avoid a hunter/lodge theme? I purchased it for my family room!

Paint these beams or not!!!??

My vote is for the wash but not in bright white and after some selective knot primer in the same tone. You are going to want to selectively primer down about 2/3 of the knots (use a dark white tinted primer), and use a dark white / brown toned off white instead of bright white so the beams still give you dark white on bright - that would be my vote. Consider something like bm stingray tinted primer and wash on the beams. You can add glaze for more working time or put down dropcloths and use water to cut it into a wash. Test it on some other raw wood that has had tannins develop for a few years. Then put it against your white wall - your husband will get the contrast and wood grain but you'll get the quiet palette you were hoping for. They both will have architectural depth and interest.

I grew up with these panel doors and remember the glorious day they were replaced by a curtain. So if you are open to the idea, for ease of use, least effort and cost that's a simple fix that your daughter may want herself. The top cabinet doors can be considered a cornice for the drapes, and can be upholstered, maybe in the same fabric as her window curtains, and a simple drape with coordinating stripe on the bottom. Search "upholstered doors" on Houzz, and you will see ideas for nailhead trim, tufting, etc as well. You may also be able to add thin trim molding in a custom design to make them special. Good luck!

How to modernise the exterior of our 1970s home?

I assume you have sailed into your renovations Susan ? The pictures actually look like 2 different houses -- different colours , different styles . I quite like the 'red' ( 2 storey ) side of the house -- even the conservatory and that pattern on the deck railing -- personally I'd paint it in a charcoal , but it's liveable . NOT a fan of the yellow opaque glass , and I'd paint around the outside of your 2 garage doors approx 80-100mm wide white borders to match the rest of the joinery . The other side though -- the roof ( as you said ) would be my first thing -- I'd go a browny/red , very similar to the panels on the other side of the house . The gutters and window sills I'd go a superbright blood red , and even though I agree about the cream veneer bricks and steps -- I'd leave the veneer , and either paint , or preferably tile , the steps in charcoal , and add a couple of 'chunky' stainless rails on the sides . And the base board -- I'd do it in charcoal too . It would not only look better , but make the house look longer and sleeker .

Help with exterior colour scheme for 70s house!

The house is in desperate need of a refresh and we are struggling to pick the colour scheme to complement the features. The design of the house is quite busy with the use of yellow bricks, timber and rough cast. The main feature differs depending on which side of house we're looking at: - front: bricks, timber and rough cast - sides: mostly bricks & timber - back: mostly bricks & timber We are not wanting to paint the bricks at this stage and would love some help with chosing the colours to make it more modern! Will be painting the timber, rough cast, balcony handrails, pergola & roof. See photos below (excuse the mess as in the middle of tidying up) Thanks in advance!

I'm so glad you found the painting! Because of its clean, streamlined effect, I think it lends itself well to modern décor. You can see in the photo I used it over a clean-lined contemporary steel-edged console table. There was absolutely nothing hunter/lodge themed in that room. The other furnishings were transitional cream slipper chairs with orange and dark brown contemporary accent pillows and a round dark chocolate leather ottoman over a colorful area rug. To work a modern decor, I could picture this painting over a sleek off-white modern sofa or sectional with pops of bright color in solid silk-textured or velvet pillows, for example, and lots of mixed metallic accents or side tables for gleam and perhaps a glass on glass or acrylic coffee table. Or I could see it working well with an industrial chic style in coffee table or end tables and lamps. Dark steel accents would work well. It would be great over a fireplace. I hope this gives you some ideas. If you want to show me any photos of the family room, I could be more helpful.
