ON THE HOUSE

add character and charm to your home without the cost of a major renovation. All it takes is a well-planned colour scheme that highlights its features and doesn’t try to hide them. Complement the look with a few DIY additions and don’t forget the garden. Hardy native plants and grasses, plus a layer of mulch instead of grass, will give you a garden to be proud of.
