snow?

9 years ago

how does the path put up with snow or snow removal? has the owner had any issues with tracking in stones into the house? how to prevent that problem? how do gravel pathways respond to being on a hillside? how steep? thanks from a fellow milwaukeean

Good questions. The snow was not an issue in this situation as the home owners do not clear these paths in winter. If you were to shovel crushed stone a walk, it could become a bit messy. Snow blowing at a higher setting might be better. The home owner did have issues with the stone getting tracked into the house despite the concrete patio that separates the paths from the house. Since this photo was taken we've switched out the crushed stone for flagstone with gator dust in the joints in order to avoid that problem. Crushed stone for a path on a hillside may not be the best option depending on how much water flows down the slope in rainstorms. Erosion may be an issue. Good luck! :)

Hi Ni, I just thought of something....did you say you planned to do the stencil motifs on the window wall? If so, I am thinking they will be mostly hidden by the curtains. I wonder if it might be better to stencil the long wall that is on the right side of the room when looking toward the window. I could see this being a pretty backdrop to the prayer box (I think that’s what you called it?) and your wood cuttings. Then maybe the opposite wall (the one with the kitchen doorway) could hold a large piece of art?

Hi Rahul Satija To answer your question, regarding which material to use for the outsides of your home Terracotta Brick - unless you have used bricks that are meant to be left exposed, ordinary bricks will take in a lot of water and leave the walls damp, and hence not a great idea. You could ofcourse cover it with a veneer of brick cladding but that is something we would not propose. Between wooden cladding and paint, it frankly depends completely on your budget. Wooden cladding looks extremely good but is quite pricey. Our suggestion would be to paint the majority of the home, with highlights in parts in wooden cladding.

morning glory is the shade that will have a beam of lightness when sunlight enters the house and the most common mistake some people do is just play off white blunt to all the walls, but I suggest u add a colour of Prussian blue or crimson red with the morning glory. hope it helps. thank you, do review us.
