What is your big-ticket item for the year?
It's time to start planning for 2016 and I bet most of you already know what you'll be working on in the new year - especially if it's a big project.
So what will it be? Are any loft conversions, extensions, garden redesigns or knock-throughs on the cards?

What are your thoughts on Marsala - 2015's Colour of the Year?
Comments (26)I quite like its warmth and would go well in small furnishing touches in our new house moving to in Spring - it is fairly modernist, but has exposed brickwork and wood cladding, a slightly industrial feel. I like wine shades generally and wear them a lot. However, it could look a bit fusty in an older building, slightly faded and 80s chinzty even? I would definately be worried about it on walls, unless I wanted that feeling...See MoreWhat items have you kept from your childhood?
Comments (4)Quite a few, my original teddy bear (Lambzy) which was passed down from my brother and is 43 years old is still at mums house, some school exercise books with hilarious silly drawings all all over the covers which used to get me in trouble, a lego set from 1983 is boxed somewhere too!...See More4 year old (big girl) bedroom
Comments (7)Hi. Maybe either go a chalk pink or duck egg on the walls to add some colour. Or alternatively add the colour in the curtains, accessories and bedding. I've attached this chair from alison at home which is on clearance at the moment (found it for another post and think it will suit your room!). Images are from argos and buckeye state. I think bunting can look really good in a girls room and a way to add colour. Or if you went with the 2nd option, maybe add some framed butterfly art on the walls. Having a couple of teddies or strategically placed wooden blocks can keep the room young and look really good. By the way the pinks in these pics are pretty pink but I'd go very pastel or chalk personally and just add splashes of it....See MoreWhat household item do you love to hate?
Comments (6)I currently own the most awkwardly shaped vacuum cleaner in Wales, I am certain.It was given to us from our neighbour....I thought they liked us! I also have a gas cooker about which my husband derides me each time I try to light the oven, he swears I twist my wrist and turn it out as I flick the knob....now I don't believe I do....much miffery goes on about 6 pm in our kitchen..lol & because I love Vintage & Antique furniture, of course I have projects which hang about waiting for attention and bunging up the spare bedroom...it's the 'Curse of Ikea' I tell you! When 'WILL' my Husband rewire that lamp? 2025?...See More

We are hoping to finally do our Attic Conversion at home. It's a little tricky as the floor is two levels. We need to drop a portion of the ceiling above the landing below, to create a walk through effect above. Not beyond our capabilities, just don't know if i can stand the mess !! I've done my plans and here is my 3d version
