Please help before I stuff it up ;)

Hi all, renovating for the first time and have decided to render over the brick, called the renderer and he said ‘sure I can start tomorrow!’ so today he did the base coat and I’m starting to panic because I really haven’t locked in colours.

I was originally thinking surfmist render, and will spray the roof in monument (charcoal).

Now I’m worried surfmist will just look like concrete. Does anyone else have a surfmist render they could share??

annd... how does the rest of the colour scheme work? Should I match the widow frames to the roof (monument) or go a lighter shade (I.e basalt)

And gutters? Contrast to roof or the same?

Eaves? Same as house render? (To be honest I had to just google what eaves were that’s how much I don’t know haha)

Please help

Thanks!

Hi I noticed no one has replied and you are in a hurry...I recall there have been a few threads on using surfmist and what to use with it, so suggest doing a search on Houzx of surfmist and hopefully you will get some good ideas. Good luck!

I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Colours - which colour and where!?

Hello, F&B Black Blue is gorgeous for the staircase and I personnally would'paint the whole wall (including above the chimney) in a nice F&b yellow'colour, such as Yellow ground or Dayroom Yellow. I'm sure this combination of colours'will just be stunning. However I would recommend that you test the colours before choosing one (on reasonnably big surface,i.e. 1sq. meter) because once applied on a surface the colour might look very different than what we expected. F&B sells samples for 8€ and I really think this is worth it. I' telling'you this because I experimented it in my house. I was convinced one colour was THE one and still tested another one aswell by precaution and, once applied on the wall, the second one was an evidence. Good luck and pls keep us up to date. Looking forward to see the picture.

Bonjour! Is your ceiling unique to the kitchen or continues for another room? You can use the ceiling to add color If just the kitchen. A medium intensity color would warm up the space without making somber. You can also choose a wall as an accent, keeping the rest very pale. Tones of yellow would be nice. See the Benjamin color trends for 2016. A lot of whites accentuated with colors. One room has yellow, but you don't have to go so intense. Also see on houzz "clored" ceilings. You can also use our window frames to add contrast painting them a darker shade of gray or charcoal. It gives character, definition and class Sorry i dont have photos to demontrate at the moment (problem with iphone:( but you can always find on houzz) :) Hope this helps!

Hi Tracey

We actually think the roof is ok as it is. Painting it a dark charcoal colour will absorb heat and potentially make the house very hot. But the roof, eave and gutter looks ok- do they need replacing?

Why not wait and see how the render looks, as we think it will look great with the existing roof and gutters, and window frames.

Are the windows being replaced or just painted? It's hard to tell from the photo if they are timber or aluminium.

Why not do the render first. Post a pic and then decide on the roof.
