Father's Day - What have you learnt from your dad?
Comments (9)My Father taught me to pattern cut and sew on our old Singer treadle machine, which he later 'motorised'. His Father was a Court Taylor who taught him these skills. I bought my 1st sewing machine - a Frister and Rossman Cub 4 - from a friend's Mothers Freeman's catalogue, paying for it with my weekly pocket money. I was 16 and still use it today, 46 years later. I've made everything from Children's clothes to Wedding and Bridesmaid dresses for friends, Ball gowns for myself, and most of my clothes as a student, regularly scouring the Birmingham 'rag' market'. I recently made a cover for a friend's boat wheel. Whenever I get my trusty machine out I think of him and visualise him laying brown paper out on the dining table to teach me my most beloved skill....See MoreWhat do you want to read about on Houzz this year?
Comments (53)I can't help but speculate that perhaps the reason so many houses featured are London based or more high-end properties is because most of the case studies are uploaded by architecture or design professionals who employ professional photographers to show off the finished results. These services aren't cheap and I don't imagine these companies get too many requests from owners of smaller 30's - 70's era homes, especially from outside the capital, because the homeowners won't see a return on the investment. I would have thought requesting design-savvy home owners load more of their own photo's would help bridge the gap. Perhaps on the next newsletter you can ask homeowners to consider contributing any photos of spaces they are particularly proud of?...See More" Spend a Penny " !!!
Comments (26)I'm a little late to the party but here's my two penn'orth; I think keeping the door at one of the ends would be batter than placing it centrally as it will intrude into an already small space less. The remaining two doors I think would look nice as full length windows, perhaps with black anodised or powder coated frames, keep one of the doors and upgrade it to use for the entrance if it is in good enough condition as it compliments the building. The roof needs relaying but as mentioned the old clay pegs would be nice to retain as they suit the building and mostly look reuseable, the hips would benefit from proper hip tiles as opposed to the concrete that is currently there. I notice that on the sunward side (right) there seems to be glass or metal set into the lower part of the roof, although that will allow a lot of light in, I imagine it will also make the interior hot in the summer so you will need at least ventilation. It looks as though there is enough depth to the rafters to be able to insulate between them with a faced polyurethane board so keeping the wood and it's character visible. Repoint the interior with lime mortar as mentioned to keep the look and character of the stone and brick walls. The roof would also benefit from gutters, a downpipe and a rain barrel, at least above the door and windows....See MoreWhere can I find a wooden day bed for ten year old boys bedroom?
Comments (10)The advantage of the hemnes day bed is it can convert to a double so could last until adulthood in theory. Would you/he consider a midsleeper? There are loads on Wayfair (with good reviews). Or if you have space how about getting him a double bed? https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/cuckooland/product/four-poster-king-bed-with-storage-and-shelves-in-white?istCompanyId=aa76f5e6-d733-4e56-8409-574cea196cc9&istItemId=xmxqqlqmlp&istBid=t&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsNL0_MvS2AIVBbftCh3chQwaEAkYDCABEgKgj_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CLHk74LM0tgCFcaxUQodgwICeQ http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/beds/double-king-size-beds/brimnes-bed-frame-w-storage-and-headboard-white-lur%C3%B6y-spr-59124616/...See More
