A facade to match our very popular Mediterranean inspired renovation project on Bunnings Workshop. Planter boxes and walkway from fence to porch was created using travertine pavers and pebbles. The arbor was built for a grand entrance, also to keep the harsh western sun out. Slats installed in an angle for shade. Front door sanded and sealed with wax to match the porch pillar cladding and added a digital lock. Rendered walls were painted white and we added stone mosaic tiles to the wall opposite the porch pillar. The renovation came together by laying synthetic turf. We are in love!

Fabulous work @LaCasaDIY! You must be so very pleased with the results as they are amazing!
I love that you've designed the front of your property to compliment the rear, as I'm sure there's now a harmonious flow through the home. Do you have any Mediterranean-styled plans for the interior?
Great work, and many thanks for sharing another inspirational project.

Good Afternoon @LaCasaDIY
Looking at your project makes me feel like on a relaxing holiday! Serious love the abor? trellis 
It brings a relaxed feeling to your place!
The street number idea is going into my ideas for my house for sure
The boxes up the pathway really work, It leads you to the doorway.
Only one question I have, well a workmate and I have lol Is the grass real or fake? He says real I was saying fake but the more I look at it the more real it looks?
