Need advice or order to redecorate our house?

Our house is in the process of being renovated, whilst we live in it. We've been in just over two years and only done the sitting room and bathroom; we're close to finishing the kitchen. My advise is to be patient. We're two years into the rewire and the big holes and channels in the walls have just become normal features. We did the lounge first so that we would have somewhere to retreat too. We put down an expensive underlay but the absolute cheapest carpet, which we'll change after everything else is done - we've traipsed so much dust in there already!!! The theory was to start at the top and work our way down and out the front door. We had a chimney at the back of the house removed from the attic down to the ground floor. The back bedroom was then made good (plaster boarded and rewired, but not decorated), the upstairs bathroom done and then the kitchen. We'll do all the bedrooms next, then the dining room, under stairs toilet, landing, hallway and porch. Then replace the sitting room carpet.

Assuming the builder hadn't planned to lay the engineered wood over this floor I think this sounds great- I think on the bedroom wall it will look great especially with a stain with a little white in it. I do have a couple of reservations- You need to consider if there will be any clashes with the engineered floor (perhaps carpet would be better in the bedroom) and whether there may be too much wood. I think you should also consider the light levels of your room and choose your stain accordingly- probably going lighter. I also have a reservation about putting it on the ceiling- firstly the easiest way to do this is baton your ceiling then add the floorboards- you will likely loose 2-3 inches of head height. My second reservation is a concern about weight and stability and my third is that you will be painting it in which case you can't see that it is a reclaimed product. Personally I would decorate the ceiling with something grander so you have an eclectic mix- I like Victorian coving but you could consider a pressed tin or zinc ceiling- there are also some brilliant wallpapers that emulate the real thing. You could also sell the wood for salvage or have it made into furniture

Wood flooring or LVT throughout? Including kitchen? Pls, your advice!
Q

I have solid wood flooring in most of my house, tiling in the kitchen and hall. We bought the wood unfinished and did all of the finishing ourselves (it was already sanded). Cost wise it worked out around £30 per square metre which is really good. Most of the wood I finished in Osmo Oil either Raw first and then clear or white first and then clear. It does darken and warm with age so this needs to be factored in when designing colour palettes. If you like fairly neutral palettes this can work well, if you prefer lots of colour then a more consistent Amtico product or factory finished wood may be preferable. I wanted to be able to re-finish and re-oil my floors if necessary. I have LVT in my studio which is really practical and looks good, however it doesn't feel like wood.

Open Plan Living

Hi Fran, Judging from the plans and photos the wall/columns are 100% load bearing. The amount of structural frame you will need depends on how big of a portion you want to open up. F.ex if you only want to open just the living room, you could probably get a way with one single beam. i you want the wall removed completely, looks to me like you will need some serious structural framing, including new beam/beams and possibly structural posts. Same will apply to the cost, obviously - the more you want to take out, the more you'll have to replace with structural frame, and the more it will cost. New sliding doors - again, the original extension has not been designed for larger doors, so you might need some additional supports to take the load of the new sliders. Costs: it's not easy to estimate a building cost at this stage - really depends on the specifications and design - the more accurate the building and structural design will be, the more accurate will be the estimated cost, and less unpleasant surprises you are likely to have. A good contractor should be able to give a very rough estimate of the full works cost, but never take it for granted - an initial estimate is often quite different when the project goes into the tender stage. Hope the above helps. Let me know if you need assistance with the design - we would gladly offer a free online consultation and advise some contractors/engineers to request a quote from. Best of luck, & hope you enjoy your building project! Andrei Kay Moden.
