New house pests

6 years ago

Hi

Just bought a property and there has been an old couple living in it for many years. I noticed there are some bugs which I think are carpet beetles. I don't know if there might be other types of bugs too! We are doing a full renovation but was wondering if its best to get the whole house fumigated before the renovation begins? Does anybody have any suggestions please? I can't stand any types of creepies in my home!

WOW, all great suggestion. I feel a bit redundant in any additional comments ... but I will jump in anyway ;-) Budget: how much? Where would you like you ££ to go? Lighting could really make a difference and a pendent or a wall light above the working area is both stylish and useful. how much work are you willing to take on? The external wire tracking are not particularly pretty so unless you go for a groovy industrial look as suggested by Minnie, I will try to blend them in with the scheme rather then draw attention to them. It's a compact kitchen so keeping it light as St James Interior suggested, is a good idea. Dark colours on the walls will bring them closer making the room feeling smaller. Whatever look or suggestion you go with make sure you have a plan. Write it all down, take colour swatches and samples when you go shopping and look at how things work together. It's very easy to fall in love with one item's look and discovered that it just does not go with the rest. Good planning save money! You will probably need also some shelfs for spices and hooks, light under the wall unit on the right hand side of the photo you post and maybe a dish rack by the sink. These are all elements that will be in full view and will contribute to the final look of the room. I attached a quick sketch board for inspiration. If you love one of the looks suggested by St James Interior, take your time with the purchases. Do not compromise of what you want, it may take longer to achieve it but it will be worth it. The kitchen is one of the the most used room in the house, make yourself happy! Have fun! PS. The suggested product on the image are merely a guide to give you an idea on prices. Shop around or feel free to contact me if you need any additional help.

Hi. You know, I'm totally with Pat Oliver on this - cant imagine why someone would have put three light fittings up in the first place!!! I, too, would go for just the one in the centre and remove the end light fitments. Don't know your budget or taste but I've fallen in love with ANTHROPOLOGIE'S totally OTT brightly coloured chandeliers which happen to be on sale now. I covet them but can't afford them. Why not combine your budget for two and buy something spectacular. You're only going to do it once!!! Wayfair is good for ideas and, believe it or not, if you have a COSTCO card they sell quite magnificent ones too. If budget is huge look perhaps at Thomas Goode. Happy shopping! Can we all see the result please?

Do you like the shape of it? If so then paint it! You could paint the whole thing white and then paint the door panels a different colour, then change the handles to some funky ones , and maybe add giant tassels! A classic shape can last forever if you decorate it up to suit your current style
