Hi Cherub,
If we do that, how do we reconcile the different heights of the skirting between the two areas? Remember, the skirting will be fixed on top of the…

Hiya,

Dollarz House.....a quick hello

I agree with all the comments -- your house is looking fabulous.
I think the thing I like the most is your risk-taking with the colours (facade and kitchen splashback)
