Help! what should we do with our fireplace?
Comments (13)I smashed my own out when we moved here 24 years ago. It was vile what was in and I couldn't stand to look at it any longer. Hubby went to work with a fireplace in the house and came home to find it had gone. I took a sledgehammer to it. Was a great feeling. I can't see that there's anything to go wrong unless you have a gas fire installed in it and in which case get a Gas Safe engineer to cap it off. You'll obviously need to replaster the wall when the bricks have been removed but that's not an expensive job for that bit. Other to that have a smashing time ;-))...See Morewhat should we do with our kitchen/tv room
Comments (7)Changing the worktops to a light colour will make all the difference. I've just had a new kitchen installed and even in a small area - about 2.5 metre sq - having a white worktop has completely transformed the area. The previous matt black surface just absorbed all the light. I've painted the walls white as well (previously a creamy colour) and now the area is so bright I've had to buy a blind for the window! Therefore, I'd suggest staying with the layout and looking at the colours for your new kitchen rather than creating unnecessary openings that will mean you lose cupboard space or other rooms. It's not just style, but function that is also important, if the space does not work for you, you will soon fall out of love with the house....See Morewhat should we do with this wall alcove?

Comments (18)I guess this will come down to how much you want to spend, if you are prepared to do an extension out the back then assume you are comfortable with some structural work. Also if you are happy to lose the garage or some of it you actually have a much larger space to work with. If it were my house and I had the budget to do a complete ‘rejig’, i would do the following: 1. Push the bathroom, utility area and storage areas into the garage but still leaving a garage door with a much smaller ‘garage’ space for stuff we just dump in the garage. Add a door if possible to the garage much closer to the front door to access the storage area. Access the bathoorm and utility via the currently under stairs door. 2. Now move the kitchen to the right into the space currently occupied by the bathroom and study, creating space for a nice size island, room fo an American fridge freezer and tall cupboards etc. 3. Move the study to the left hand side, which would run from the garden wall where the first bifolds end down to the existing vertical beam column, effecitvely making use of this as part of that study and therefore it isnt just a column in the middle of the room. 4. You will be left with a large L shaped kitchen lounge diner, where you can either choose to have a play area in front of the kitchen or tv snug and dining area to the left of it or vice versa. Whatever suits! Obviously this is without seeing the actual spaces and room dimensions to see how much open space you would get but looks like could work from your floor plan. Maybe too much work though :)...See More

6 years agoIf you are looking to 'tone down' the wall colour it would be better to think about the colours used within the room. Stay away from pink/orange colours (including wooden furniture that have this tone) as this clashes with the wall. Instead, opt for calmer tones - greys, dark blues or even cream/white
etc. Here are just a few examples of colour combinations.
Would be great to see the finished look you go for. Good luck!
