I would like to change this room into my daughters bedroom.
Comments (6)Hi sawsankhan, I love the fish tank by the way, I hope that you will keep it when you do your room-makeover as fish are incredibly calming ! Here at Go Modern we have a great range of furniture suitable for children and young adults. I see that your daughter loves dark wood, gold & brown, with this in mind I have a few suggestions which all combine to create a beautiful and extremely stylish bedroom that will take her from 12 to 20 and beyond ! Firstly a smart new bed and I suggest the Bonaldo Billo Teenage Bed which is shown here in golden brown http://www.gomodern.co.uk/store/bonaldo-billo-teenagers-bed.html but which can also be upholstered in a huge range of colours. When she has friends over and needs extra seating in her room,how about these stunning Italian made Hollywood Poufs which are designed by Gino Carrollo. Available in a superb array of removable elastic fabric covers, as well as limited edition patterned fabrics - http://www.gomodern.co.uk/store/bonaldo-hollywood_pouf.html And to complete the look – how about a beautiful full length mirror – this one from Jesse, one of Italy's best known contemporary furniture brands, is perfect as the side strip can be in either walnut, oak or lacquered in your choice from 28 different colours http://www.gomodern.co.uk/store/jesse-strip-vertical-mirror.html I do hope that this is helpful, however, if you have any questions please contact our friendly, knowledgeable team on 020 7731 9540.

Comments (0)I have recently purchased into (what I believe to be) a Comet goldfish and a black goldfish (imagine shown; not sure what it really is). And I have a starter pack fish tank; size: length 30cm x depth 18cm x height 22.5cm. I got the fish tank thursday and added the water and saturday I purchased the two fish. Unfortunately this morning I saw that the black goldfish had died during the night so made the fish tank cloudy (I presume) BUT the Comet goldfish 'Chief' is still alive but it doesn't seem in good shape. When I first got 'Chief' he seemed okay in his new tank, I slowly introduced the tank water with the water I had previous got him in, so both the waters mixed together he seemed fine, exploring his new environment, but slowly him and the other fish worryingly calmed down. Although the black goldfish was acting up first (laying at the bottom of the tank) Cheif was always at the top of the tank, getting air. This morning I cleaned them out and put more water in that I previously made the night before. Ever since this morning, when i found the the dead fish. Chief has been doing what he had done, laying at the bottom of the tank, not coming up for air, but still breathing fins and tail is moving, then he would stop and then hit the ground again, it is like a continuous cycle. He tail is mostly below his head And is hiding behind his decorations in the tank but occasionally his tail looks bright and healthy and how it should be. He has a filter and is being fed once a day but he hasn't eaten today, should I be worried? This is what the other goldfish did before he died. I thought it was him struggling to swim through the Ripples of water from the filter. Also I have added a background for him to be more comfortable. I don't know what to do ?!! In the imagine of the whole tank it looks misty but it is mainly clear there is just a brown envelope behind the tank. Can someone please help me !!!!...See MoreWould you live on a house boat?
Comments (15)I've stayed on narrowboats and wide beams on the canals a number of times over the years but have never "lived" on one. I take my hat off to those who do. For many these days its not out of choice and can add many new problems to already busy lives. For many the difficulty/cost of finding a residential mooring anywhere near jobs, shops, transport and family can stop the project dead. Finding a lovely boat is very much a secondary consideration. The alternative of "continuous cruising" doesn't work well for many since you have to move on every 2 weeks - the Canal & River Trust are getting tough on this point. Comfortable living is much more of a weather related issue on a boat since the impact of cold, rain, muddy and very slippery towpaths as well as heat in mid-summer (you are living in a tin can) are all issues that don't affect bricks and mortar dwellers to anything like the same extent. In winter the canals can freeze over and canal maintenance is normally done then. Both can stop you from moving. If you can't move you can't easily fill up with water, fuel or empty the tank. Lugging heavy and smelly cans for a long distance is not fun. The upsides for me are the closeness to wildlife, the feeling of freedom and fresh air, the people you meet and the gentle movement on a canal - I've seldom slept so well. Other boats do pass by and even if they do slow down the boat can rock enough to make you spill your tea. Other points in favour are that you can move location for better/different views, most dogs love it even if they become muddier than you can imagine and you can moor at a canalside pub and not have to drive anywhere afterwards. The downsides are the need to fill with water, gas and fuel and to pump out the waste tank or empty the toilet cassette - not always at convenient times or locations, and the congestion for mooring spots now that there are over 33,000 narrowboats on the system - many more than in their heyday of the industrial revolution. The canals can have dead spots for mobile phone and broadband coverage. Also consider that boats do go wrong - not much fun in winter if you can't get the heating going and that not everybody you meet is nice, thoughtful or helpful. Best to try it first before you give up living on solid ground and move to a boat....See MoreWhat shall I do with this space??
Comments (5)I think I would build a wrap around desk at desk height at the bottom part of the stairs coming out around the angle of the stairs not only would this provide a desk but also a dressing table for both daughters to use together, obviously if size dictates there will be enough space. at the back of the desk area would be a good position for the fish tank and bookcases. following up the slope you already have the ceiling spots in place so I would use this to put in some glass shelving so the light travels through, this would not need to be the full depth of the stairs. Maybe to break up the angle of the stairs a bit you could introduces some wrap around shelving following the slope up, there are some pictures of wrap around shelves on Houzz you could look up to see what I mean. There is quite a lot that could be done with this space when you start thinking about it : )...See MoreAmber Jeavons Ltd
