I have always been attracted to the Carmel-by-the-Sea houses designed by Comstock...the interiors are often decorated casually, with comfy sofas, chairs, maple & cherry furniture and nature-inspired art and accessories. Big fantasy. In real life, we are retired on Cape Cod, Massachusetts and live in a 1200 sq.ft. condo one block off a large town's Main St. and two miles from any beach. Except for the building and location, we have the rest...not sure if our decor is English casual, English coastal or ???, but I wouldn't change it, except to buy better quality sofa and chairs.

POLL: Bedding - Cotton or Linen?
Q
Comments (27)
Yes, I have tried linen but have never liked it to wear or anything else. The natural messy look and texture doesn't suit me nor do I like the feel of it although I do have a mid-century chair covered in lemon-lime linen. I like it on some other people and I can understand why some people like it but personally adore the crisp shiny sensual feel of thick sateen sheets ... luuurve the feel so much. Not sure why one has to be better than the other, they are very different and suit different people. A previous boyfriend loved them so when he stayed over he asked me to go shopping with him to buy something similar. Whenever I visit the States I buy myself another set of them or a new duvet set ... they tend to have them in high thread, brighter colours and interesting designs there while being affordable at reasonable prices for the quality.

I tend to go on ebay for cheap poly/cotton duvet covers, which don't last as long as linen but allows me to change my room a bit cheaply and easily. However, I've never noticed just how gendered bedding is, nor how horrible the 'masculine' options are. Single colour tartan duvet cover or camoflage? Euuuch. I did find a few nice duvet covers which didn't feature flowers, butterflies or 'bling'. How about a map? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Catherine-Lansfield-Maps-Reversible-King-Size-Duvet-Set-/221821393749?hash=item33a595db55 or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-England-Wales-Scotland-Ireland-Europe-Map-Atlas-Globe-DUVET-COVER-/191544872397?hash=item2c98f6cdcd Or a map of the London Underground would add some more colour, if you liked them - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/London-Underground-Tube-Map-Reversible-Duvet-Quilt-Cover-Bedding-Set-/191398466427?hash=item2c903cd37b or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LONDON-UNDERGROUND-KING-SIZE-DUVET-BEDDING-SET-BRAND-NEW-PILLOWCASES-DUVET-/301697031417?hash=item463e8b5cf9 A plain cotton or linen cover would be a safer option, but you can also end up with a room lacking personality that way. If you do go for plain, try to choose some nice pictures for the walls instead.

Renovating a 1960's 3 bed semi - help with layout and kerb appeal!
Q

Hi all, Thank you so much for all the helpful comments and suggestions, and sorry that it's taken me so long to respond - house renovation and work have been keeping us on our toes! This has become a long post, so a quick reminder - we were looking to renovate and rewire our 60s house to update it and also make it more wheelchair friendly downstairs for when my mother-in-law comes to visit. We employed an architect and came up with what turned out to be an 'aspirational' design (much more than the budget!) so we ended up deciding to split things into two stages: Stage One to add a downstairs wetroom for accessibility, remove chimney throughout and add a porch Stage Two to do the extension across the rear, removing the conservatory to open out a large kitchen/diner and add a utility room The layout below shows both Stages One and Two as complete. Bits shown in red are existing walls which have been/will be removed (apart from the wall in red in the seating area below which is between the existing kitchen and dining room - that's a mistake). So.....the building work is now done - hurray! Stage One is complete, we are much poorer, and we now need to decorate the whole house :-) Some before and after photos below - please bear with the terrible photography skills. The rooms aren't big enough to allow for expansive photos!: We've re-plastered throughout, apart from in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, as we'll deal with those later. Current challenge is deciding how on earth to pick paint colours and flooring throughout.... Anyway - hopefully that gives you a sense of where we've got to. Best wishes
