Inspiration

Ideas you can trace back to real work

A photograph tells you what something looked like. A released project tells you what it was made of, who did it, and when.

Inspiration grounded in real work

Most inspiration collections show a photograph with no idea what it cost, what material it used, or whether it lasted. A released project entry carries the material, the date, and the work performed, so a saved idea can be traced to something real.

Boards are not built. When they are, the intent is to assemble them only from projects a homeowner chose to release, and never from images collected from other sites.

Not built yet. The boards below describe what is planned. They contain no images collected from anywhere, and the drawings are generated in code.

Planned boards

Roof profiles and materials

Shingle lines, standing seam, and tile, each shown with the material actually used and the year it went on rather than an unattributed photograph.

Exterior finishes

Siding, trim, and colour, saved against the product that was installed so a favourite is something you can ask for by name.

Windows and doors

Openings and glazing, with the frame material and the work performed attached to each entry.

Colour and light

Palettes drawn from projects that exist, so a saved idea can be traced back to a real house.
