Very nice job candicenorth! I am glad you are happy with the changes you made. Did you find a new spot for your birds, as chookchook2 suggested. Now that all your pictures on the hallway wall take notice, it does look a bit busy with the birds. They might look nice on the wall at the top of your first landing, if you hadn't found a new home for them. If you do consider there, they should be all on their own. Enjoy your new home.

You probably wont find one for any less than 10k but you could buy a bed and screw in four tall branches that have been suitably dried out and adapted to the environment in which they live (this takes about 6 months).You would need to find a gardener who is trimming trees this spring and then source the ideal height and bark (I would advise removing the bark as it peels off over time). Then a handyman or carpent can either replace the existing legs of the bed or adapt the trunks to be screwed into the base...http://www.fashionwindows.net/images/2010/03/moschino_hotel02.jpg

The tile for the wall with the effect is called Himalaya grey, I also have a Himalaya anthracite which is a bit darker. The tiles for the floor which you said looks like has a blue tone is called 'bran grey', I also have a darker grey tile in the same series. I will attach pics again, please advise on which combinations will work. himalaya grey with the darker grey option for floor. Himalaya anthracite - darker version of above 4 choices for the floor, the bottom left being bran grey (which you think is blue tone, does it still look blue to you in this pic?) and the bottom right is the darker grey. Thanks a lot!

diseased tree - any ideas what it is?
Q

It seems to be a bracket fungus (where the main bit of the fruiting body comes directly out of the side of the tree, unlike the honey fungus which has a stem first) Bracket funguses are very common and don't really harm the tree. They feed on the heartwood, which is already dead in the same way that our fingernails and hair are attached to us but not a live part of us. The live part of the tree trunk is only directly under the bark. If the heartwood is infected with fungus then the tree will eventually become hollow, but you're talking about decades to do that. It was once thought that this shortened the life of the tree by making it less sturdy and more easy for high winds to take down, but it's now thought that it actually increases the lifespan of the tree by reducing the weight making it less top-heavy, and so less likely to come down. There's nothing you can do about the fungus, whatever it is. It'll be all through the tree and all you're seeing is the fruiting bodies. The choices are chop the tree down or leave it standing. You can get a tree surgeon in to have a look if you're worried that the tree might be dangerous but I don't think there's a lot of point unless you can see dead or dying branches. They might give you a positive ID on the fungus, or see if you can find a local mycologist.
