House proud? Upload a pic of your home!
We love seeing aspirational homes on Houzz, but sometimes I hear from you that you'd love to see ordinary, quirky, inspirational homes, too.
So if you love your home and you think it can inspire others, upload it here! We might even ask to feature it on our social media channels.

Show us something red in your home!
Comments (26)If you like red and white but don't like "casual" go with red-and-white Toile -de-Jouie curtains, upholstry, or cushion covers. It gives a lighter, airier feel than unbroken expanses of red. For contrast, accessorice with pastel mint green, or pale blue, with touches of gold or brass. Works well with light or dark woods....See MoreShow us something white in your home!

Comments (0)Our clients in Cheshire wanted to create a large, open-plan family living space that blended harmoniously with their existing property, whilst maximising light and ensuring that their wonderful gardens outside could be both easily accessed and enjoyed all year-round. As the gardens were a clear focal point, a large glazed gable was proposed along with a set of French doors and bi-folding windows on the side elevation. Our signature bi-folding windows helped to bring in extra light and warmth that was greatly desired, whilst offering panoramic views of their much-loved garden. The glazed gable created a beautifully detailed vaulted ceiling and mimicked the roof angle of the existing property to continue the flow seamlessly from the main house to the new extension. The roof tiles were also closely matched to the existing roof, so that aesthetically, it appeared to be part of the original structure, this also played a huge part in gaining planning approval with the local authority. Our clients were overjoyed with the transformation and now have a beautiful Garden Room that can be used year-round. The result is both timeless and beautiful, and a project that we are very proud of. Let us know what you think to this Garden Room project, we'd love to hear your thoughts!...See MoreKitch doors horrible. Ideas? I like the others in pic. House 1920/30
Comments (13)So do you mean you don't want them painted? It's almost impossible to tell what is or isn't veneered if they're painted. The doors in white above are just pine bi-fold available from most DIY stores - I doubt they're veneered. The Grey ones are original victorian doors which have been painted. They would be solid wood, the ones above are composite to keep the light when hanging as they're bi-fold. I think you mean that you want two solid wood doors and not four bi-fold. Is that right? In which case, they're still easily changed and if you want re-claimed doors just have a look on google at reclaim yards near you or Ebay is a great source for older style doors. This site UK- Heritage is great for old doors....See More- 9 years agolast modified: 9 years ago

We bought this house 3 years ago... the estate agent said it was uninhabitable as it was covered with mould and the roof was shot so it was raining inside- a real wreck. (We moved straight in) I have learned to crack stitch, plaster, restore fireplaces and cornice... and drive a digger. Blood, sweat and tears... literally! It's funny how houses do this to you. I used to be upset when I broke a nail. Not finished yet, but soon I hope a nice home for my family :)
9 years agoWell it wasn't always a house, it was built in 1939 as a clinic and because of its location will never sell for very much, so it wasn't worth aiming for high end fixtures and finishes. It's been a very basic conversion using as much of the structure/fittings as possible and done on a tiny budget.
This was the former waiting room, as you can see a partition wall cuts into it
This was after taking the partition down and swapping the flourescent lights for some of B and Q's finest 1930s style lamps.
and this is how it is today, as you can see I like big furniture, I'm quite pleased with my "fake bookcase" door.
This is from the other end, the fire surround is an addition, sadly no chimney so it has an electric stove.
This was the old dentist's surgery part way through stripping out, the chair had been left plumbed into the floor, it was sold on eBay
This is it now, with a really old dentist drill in the corner as a nod to its former use
The "vault" door goes through to the former dark-room which is now a utility/boot-room.
This is one of the former consulting rooms, it was originally health service blue and this is half way through painting.
It is now my bedroom.
Still very much a work in progress and certainly not a sleek modern look but it's home.

merch2005 the wall lights are made to order from a US studio (RoughLuckStudio) available via ETSY), they take 3 weeks to arrive. You can have them in frosted to clear globe and polished or antique brass (you can also customise the colour of the cable (this one is 'gold' as white was too obvious against the wall).

Hope this helps!
