I think ironstone on all your trims and balcony railing as well could look beautiful, darker trims with red brick always looks great

Thank you. Will it clash with the minimal on the garage do you think?

Sorry that did not make sense.
Will the ironstone clash with the monument on the garage (which is just the trims)

Agree, ironstone on all the trims, verandah posts and the balcony railing. (Anything that is green or cream) I don’t think the monument garage would clash with the ironstone. If you want it to match, then do the trims and balcony railing in monument. Ironstone has a blue tinge so this needs to be taken into consideration. Is the garage near the home or separate?

Picture of garage and it’s two colours would help give feedback.

Example of the dark paint with red brick and cream windows. No evening haze in sight. Evening haze added in, will give a completely different look. Personally I would only paint everything in ironstone or monument, but we have not seen your garage.

Thank you so much, so everything ironstone, I like this. I will post a pic of grace tomorrow, sorry I should have done that. The garage is attached to house but honestly from a distance, could pass as cream or a shade of

Who’s grace 😀. A photo of the garage will be fine. 😂

You’ve posted this before with better pics. Agree with above all Ironstone but repaint the garage if it bothers you after you’ve done the house.

Correct, I once posted these pics but it was about modernizing the verandah I think. Good memory though.

This is the side with the colorbond garage in evening haze and monument (which can work in with ironstone i think). Not sure about the evening haze though?

Paint all the trims as said previously in ironstone or monument. Paint over the cream on the railing. The garage is a completely different finish and shape. So ignore that and concentrate on getting rid of ALL the green and cream on the home. Paint everything the same, no cream. If after this is completed, and you think the evening haze, on the garage, needs to go as well, then paint it.

Put a screen, painted ironstone or monument, around the air conditioner external unit.

The evening haze on the garage, works with the cream windows.

Thanks so much dreamer, you have confirmed what I was thinking. The only thing I may keep is the cream on the underside of the verandah, driving past you cannot see it as my house is quiet dark due to the verandah and ironstone here might make it even darker.
Would you do ironstone on the gutters and fascia as well? I’m guessing yes

If you mean by the underside of verandah, the ceiling, then definitely keep that light. (I always assume the ceiling of outdoor areas and indoor areas ,for that matter to be light) And yes to ironstone on the gutters and fascia.

Perfrcto 👍

Thank you so very much for your assistance.
Maybe I should ask you about my very weirdly shaped kitchen 😊

Love a challenge 🧐

Dreamer, kitchen 😊

What is actually wrong with your kitchen? What do the two brick towers hold? Are they structural?

One to the left is structural and the other has the fridge.
The high bench is outdated and closes off the room, my benches are 80’s pink, we want to close off entry to the right as it is next to master bedroom entry.. change island bench to all drawers and move fridge to where pantry is. Where the right hand entry is, close that off for walk in pantry and create entry where brick was currently is (right one). So not much to change, hope this makes sense. Need to update but want to keep it warm and texturally inviting so not cliche/cookie cutter if you know what I mean

Sounds like you already have a plan. I would take this chance to make the whole kitchen work better. For example, the cooktop is a long way from the sink? Do you have full measurements of the kitchen space.

Yes need a floor plan
