Look Up @ Home


“I’m the house with the green roof, you can’t miss it”.….. I include this sentence in my set of directions for anyone coming to my house for the first time. Although my roof wasn't always meant to be this colour.

My roof was meant to be a Charcoal colour but in what I thought was a cruel twist of fait, I was denied this colour by rule of my estate and a fellow neighbour when building.

I chose to go back to the drawing board and redesign my colour scheme. Looking up at my roof now I’m happy with my choice. It stands out in a good way among the many black, grey and red roofs around me and green is far more energy efficient too.

Sometimes when things don’t go as planned it is because they weren’t meant to be. Everything will work out in the end if you have the right “Look Up” sort of attitude.
