Love this!

Are these counters thicker than usual? What is the usual thickness and how thick are these? Can you share the kind of stone here? Thanks so much!

Yes, we mitered the edges on the countertops and also on the table we made to make them appear thicker. The island was so large it needed some extra heft.

The countertops are Ural Gray from Samsung Radianz. The marble table, full height backsplash, floating shelves are all Calcutta San Tucci. It's really beautiful, isn't it?

It really is! A great way to get that beautiful light marble in there without the worry of having it on the most used parts of the counter. Thanks for getting back to me!

POLL: Ivy on the home - love or loathe?

I hate it. I quite like the smell and the look is quite nice (especially if over an ugly building). However the cons, and there are many, far out-weigh the pros. High maintenance, potential structural damage, insects (though I don't mind them too much) and worse - you may as well be building a network of ladders for mice and rats to get around. Ugh. On the structural damage - with old houses, it is essential that the pointing is regularly checked and it has to be redone from time to time. Even if the ivy doesn't cause damage by getting in through cracks, it still traps moisture and holds it in your porous brick walls for longer causing potential damage to brickwork and timbers behind it such as lintels and joists. Even at the very least it obscures the view of your walls so you can't check your pointing regularly and monitor any cracks (which you mightn't notice until too late anyway if ivy-covered). Ivy is just bad news for a building even if it does look nice. Edited to add one more thing, that I forgot - ivy spreads rapidly and aggressively (birds sprinkle the berries around) and smothers trees and other plants so it's not all that environmentally friendly after all.

Please can anyone suggest the best method to deep clean, what I think, are porcelain floor tiles? They have a textured finish and ad we live beside a beach, dirt, dust and sand easily lodge and make the tiles look constantly grubby and generally filthy. I have tried conventional mops, scrubbing on my hands and knees which isn't ideal! Any suggestions, recommendations greatly appreciated!

Definitely hard surfaces all the way - you can refinish them when they get tired and are really practical for children/pets/outdoors lifestyle. We used a mixture of new polished concrete, exposed flagstones and original elm boards at our miner's cottages and don't find it cold or austere.

Our house is very cosy. I love coming inside after shutting the hens away at night, locking the doors and feeling warm and cocooned tucked away from the outside world. When I go outside in the evening I often hear owls hooting to each other which is just magical.
