Botched waterproofing on garden beds

You need to 'tank' the inside of the planters (just like a basement they are holding water). Dig back the soil from behind the retaining walls, let them dry out, then paint on two coats of bitumastic paint - ask at your local builders merchants, I usually specify Permaseal. Then you have options. You can either re-render the walls, or you can clad them with almost anything. I like to use a stone cladding tile, although they are quite expensive to buy they are really quick and easy to fix. It's also a good idea to prime the front face of the wall before applying any cladding. You can use treated timber for a cheap alternative to stone. I love the pebble mosaic sheets, particularly the stacked pebble, they look great on outside walls. You can stick sheets of stainless steel to the faces of wall, also Corten steel looks great and is very cheap. Here's a photo of some slate clad retaining walls at one of my projects. Hope this helps.

ADVICE PLS converting a 2 bed flat into 3 bed
Q
Comments (3)
Hi Natalie, This is actually a hard one. I know this was posted some time ago, but in case you are still in a conundrum about this, a radical possibility is as follows: My intial idea was to open up your back area with the following extension (detailed below), so that your family could live facing your garden. But given that you are on a busy road (unless you want to reconsider using the front reception as a bedroom which you can test by pulling your mattress in there and sleeping in it for a couple of nights), this may do the trick, if you are willing to change your garden differently than you had intially considered. Here is how to get what you want - 3 bedrooms & open plan reception space to plan a kitchen with an island / breakfast bar, lounge & dining area. Knock all the walls through from your front reception room & your first bedroom area. This will give you one huge open-plan reception space to take advantage of and configure just the way you want to include kit - dining - living. Extend the hallway through the current kitchen - dining area to the back of the flat (and slightly beyond into the extension (detailed below). Out of the rest of the kitchen dining space, you can create another bedroom that can either retain the current window or have double doors opening up onto the garden. On the left side of the garden - all the way down the length of the garden - do a 1 room extension (13'6" long x 9' wide) with large windows or sliding doors onto the courtyard garden. This will give you the 3rd bedroom you desire and also with planning permission approvals or under permitted development (must find out what applies in your area), possibly give you enough space for a small ensuite shower room too. The extended hallway into the new left-side extension should be used to create access & a door into the courtyard garden. Your court-yard garden will still then be about 13'6" x 10' (rather than 19'9 x 10' as you suggested with a 1m back extension across the rear of your house) and you can still use your side return for light. Not doing the side extension will reduce the cost significantly - and as you know getting the 3rd bedroom out of the size of the side return extension was very difficult. If you do what to also do the side return extension, you can enlarge the kit - diner converted to a bedroom, and also add a small ensuite to that room behind the other bedroom (if you retain the courtyard area on the side from the current large bedroom, past the bathroom & 2nd bedroom windows, upto the fireplace). If you do decide to use the front reception as a bedroom: You can create a lovely open-plan living - dining - kitchen in the garden extension I suggested above & the current kitchen dining area - putting in all glass (sliding or concertina) in both areas facing your courtyard garden. You can configure your kitchen - diner in one side and the living area in the other. Both areas will have full light and exposure to the courtyard, and offer indoor-outdoor living when weather is nice and doors are all fully opened - giving you an L-shaped open plan living around your courtyard. Also if you do the side extension as well, this will extend this reception area even more across the back of the house, give you more options for skylights & allow you to add a small ensuite or w/c in the side return too. The rest of the blue-print of your home would remain the same & you would use your front reception room as a bedroom. Well, hope this helps and best of luck! Best wishes,

Dorma bedroom and bed in front of window
Q
Comments (7)
I actually think having your bed in the dormer window looks really good. The way the current venetian blinds show the view of your (?) garden is a beautiful backdrop. Wouldn’t it be a shame to loose that? I do like your idea though to have painted blinds. I’m sure there are artists that can and are willing to do that.

Choose a dbl bed accessories
Q

You mentioned Sims-Hilditch and bringing in the blue so not sure what you think of these accessories? She always seems to use valances on beds and layers throws. Depending on the amount of blue you want you could pick either lampshade? I'd have 2 of the cream cushions and either one of the ikat. I'd put an oval mirror behind the bedside table with the lamp and an eucalyptus bouquet. could you repurpose the table elsewhere as it visually blocks the door? Maybe add some things on the lower peg rail for texture/interest (maybe a hammam guest towel and a jute bag for toiletries?) fingers crossed the photos upload this time!
