We ordered it from Pinnacle Precast who is not longer in business. If you show a picture to your local cast stone provider they should be able to build something similar. Sorry,

If you made timber stud walls and had the additional piece of roof mostly or all clear then you would still benefit from shade of the Wisteria in Summer. There are various clear roofing systems at different costs. Some access points (like rood lite windows) would be a good idea in two or three places, to prune the Wisteria. I built a structure in my garden using mainly reclaimed materials from a house demolition. Only the screws and clear roof panels had to bought. The wood-burning stove and the correct chimney with attachments is likely to be the most costly bit.

Georgina, you are most welcome. Yes, I saw that you said in your initial query that you had lacquered them and did not want to sand it all back, hence my suggestion for the least messy option (otherwise yes would be better to sand it all back etc etc like others have said but let's be practical not perfectionists). Yes a tinted lacquer, yes I'm sure you can buy it, I've mixed it myself but best to just buy one but beware not to go too far the other way and take tiny steps. Paint a bit that's going to be under a desk etc and leave it for days to dry and look at it in different light etc. It's not ideal, but I suggest you use the same clear lacqer and add a tiny bit of tinted one because you are painting on a darker colour already so experiment with small amounts of each, keeping track of how much you have put in. (I mix my own wall colours so have just learnt to give it a go in small portions). You also mention wanting a black and white rug, these colours will clash with the wood (colour theory) and make it look even more orange so best to use a colour that tones more. It's hard to tell the exact colour from the photos but go with warmer deeper colours which will then tone down the orange rather than clash with it and make it look cheap and more orange. So if you want to go dark then a rich chocolate brown with some creams, khaki and even a bit of burnt orange for example will make the orange in the floorboards recede.

It really is similar, our roof has been removed hence the flooded inside. We knew we had a bit of a project but not to this extent. It's been a disaster really, we had hoped to have downsized and have money in the bank but it's not to be. There is no way we could sell it for what we will have bought and spent. Our very substantial budget has more than tripled. There is no way out now, I only hope we are happy to stay in it when it's complete. I will post you photos as we progress, it would be good if you could do the same. Compare and contrast two Scottish properties.

Not sure on the exact science of this but use Tea! From what I can gather is that new pine lacks in tannin which is present in most woods particularly woods like oak, mahogany etc. but not so much in new pine. Over time the tannins do balance out but could take many years hence why the older floorboards (which are lovely btw) have a much more even tone. Solution is to wash freshly sanded new pine with a fairly strong brew of black tea (quantity/ratio not sure). Tea contains tannin so basically you’re adding it to the wood before staining, varnishing, oiling and so on. Might be a bit late if you’ve already oiled the zebra floor boards as it needs to absorb into the wood but thought I’d let you know if you plan to do steps. Do bear in mind that this finish may appear darker so perhaps use a lighter stain and absolutely test first. Here’s a link which isn’t great but sort of explains: https://sawsonskates.com/tea-stain-wood-furniture/
