Would love to see any photos of the New England style cladding, we have a 1960's house that we are updating and are considering both render and cladding. We are making the top windows deeper and are trying to decide whether to use white or grey aluminium/pvc frames. We have had grey (covered in tape in pic) bifold doors installed but can have these powder coated in white if it is better to stick to white windows. Thank you!

I was wondering if I may be so cheeky to ask for a photo to see what it looks like... I have two double wine racks under a breakfast bar and being south facing next to a large sliding, I think the wine will get very warm, so looking for a place for knick knacks. I love the idea of your painted wine boxes!

Hi Gina This is almost definitely sandstone. Yorkshire sandstone is quite yellowy beige so could well be from a local quarry. There are dozens in Yorkshire. Are you looking to reproduce it or just for the history. Do your deeds have the architects name or builder's name. It looks in keeping with the original build. There are Arts and Crafts houses by designers such as Edgar Wood around West Yorks with similar looks. Banney Royd in Huddersfield is a good example. Open to public now I think.

It’s a perfect area for a small pantry. Many would kill for such a space. So useful. I’d work out exactly what you want to store in there and draw a plan and then ask a carpenter to offer you a quote. Tall items such as mops and ironing boards are always a pain to store. Some shelves on the wall for tins etc and you’re sorted.
