I am having a hard time deciding on the thickness of the edge of our counter tops. We are going with a Carrera Quartz and I know I like the mitered edge, but can't decide on the thickness. HELP!

Comments (47)Hi again Ramona! Thank you so much for your interest - you have to let me know if you're ever in Wales and let me buy you a drink! We haven't done anything to the room in the last week; a couple of friends came by and said they like it (and then moved promptly to the cinema room which is much more exciting). What we manage to do is actually decide on a design of the shelving/ cabinets going in the alcove; that in itself is a great achievement, as I always tend to like at least 2 totally different designs and then take forever to choose one. Anyway, below are two photos of the style we would like to have. I know you suggested no floating shelves; however I'm not ready to go all the way traditional - I've not grown up that much! I like the clean look in those photos and we would probably go with the black and white scheme. Also, I've decided to use the 'bulls eye' painting on top of the mantel, which would throw out the purple theme and bring a red-orange one! But that is why I prefer the background (walls, sofas) to be neutral - I can then play with different colour schemes without too much trouble, just new rugs and cushions and paintings and you have a completely new look! And that's why I think classic (not traditional, but classic) works best, you can always accessories with whatever's the current trend and then change easily when it becomes dated. I guess living in the UK made me adhere to their way of thinking (although I made an exception with the kitchen!) The other 'close contender' was this other photo - they also have the shutters we would be getting next week. Apart from the high gloss, that style looks more formal to me because the shelves are 'anchored' in the cabinet, not the walls. We haven't decide if we're going to paint the ceiling or not - I think you were right and it would create a bit of drama with the pendant - I guess we would decide after everything else is in place.

Comments (10)Hi Dom. Agree with Forza, gravel boards are the best option. You can also get concrete ones that usually slot into concrete fence posts but it may be possible to site them below the fence or just in front. Obviously a bit more work than a wooden one but would be much better if you’re building the soil level up. Legal height for hedging and shrubs? There is none unless it’s facing a public highway where I think it’s either 1.5m or 2m, can’t remember, but in a back garden there is no limit. Saying that I don’t think your neighbours will appreciate trees 20ft high:) don’t plant conifers, particularly Leylandii, you’ll regret it;). Other options are trellis panels on top of the fence and grow climbers....or pleached trees and shrubs which can be expensive to buy and are a little more maintenance as they would need regular pruning to keep them in shape. Since your border is fairly narrow I’d go for the climbers option. Climbing hydrangea would be good if it’s in partial shade, it grows fairly thick but has lovely white blooms. P.s. I think the compost you ordered is little pricey tbh although it looks very good quality. I usually get ordinary multi purpose compost, our local garden nursery sells it for £3.75 per 75litre then I mix it with anything really, top soil, bark chips, manure, then yep....let the worms do their stuff! Hope this helps a little and best of luck with your garden....See MoreArtwork above sofa or console advice please
Comments (24)Sorry super urgent!!! How much gap looks best above this console?? Should the painting be lower than the candle holder or higher? The above are 8" and 6.25" . around 57" from the floor.. or should I lower it slightly to 6" so there's slightly less gap? Guy hanging it soon..Thank you!...See More- PRO

For anyone considering this, keep in mind how much this will raise your working surface height if working with standard height bases?
Also, if you have this at your range, you need to compensate for your 18" height from countertop to underside of upper cabinet/light valance.
