Bungalow plans, ideas needed for my architect
Comments (121)I have built-in closets under the eaves of an American Bungalow style house in three bedrooms. They measure about 6'x 4', and my son even has a bed in one that is slightly larger, but the ceiling height is between about 2 1/2 and just barely 5 feet, so they aren't as efficient as they can be. In the master, I moved the rod to the back wall (it used to be only the depth of a hanger from the door) and down to a height to hang shirts and jackets, a little over 3' up, and this freed up the two existing short rods on the sides that are set about 4 plus feet up from the floor--long enough for most dresses, skirts and suits and such. This sort of U shaped arrangement works pretty well and the corners are for boxed out of season clothes and a short revolving (sort of a wire Lazy Susan) shoe rack....See MoreCan't create kerb appeal
Comments (8)Hi, only just come across this post now so have you managed to remove the ivy and paint your fences yet as would be good to see what you have done! Another thing you could also think about would be adding some outdoor lighting, perhaps some lanterns which are very popular sellers for us. Many of these are also available with built in PIR Sensors so are also a good security feature for you home too. A couple of examples are below for you but our range can be viewed here: Wall Lanterns or ones with PIR Sensors here Wall Lights with PIR Sensors Please let us know though if you would like any more information and I'll be happy to help! I wouldn't worry about rubbish coming in from outside though as no matter what you do this is going to happen anyway! We have gates on our driveway at home and rubbish still manages to find its way in!...See MoreHelp- horrified by my architects tiles!-should they go?
Comments (43)Dear Everyone, Thank you so much for your help and support! I took on my architect who was quite emotional about it all- he loved the bathroom and thought I was *mad* to want to change it. However, I did and the builder helped us find some tiles. I am thrilled with the result. I kept some of the tiles in our bedroom shower, and love them in moderation. Here are some photos. Very best wishes to all...See MoreArchitect?
Comments (11)You can also try drawing your current plan and proposed plan and then posting on here for a few ideas in the first instance. It might help give you a better idea of what is possible and what you might like / dislike. There are some really clever innovative people on here and you could use their talents before going to an Architect. I note you mention light tubes.............these are normally installed into a roof void, therefore, in an upstairs bathroom which has no windows or in a bungalow to add light downstairs whilst still being able to get the tubes in to the roof. It is possible of course to have tubes that have a 90 degree bend, which would go in an outside wall, through the joists in the ceiling above and give light in the room downstairs, but not usually. Was this an idea that you had without knowing much about how they are usually used, or do you live in a bungalow?? A lot of my customers have good ideas, but as they know very little about products and their uses, they can waste a lot of time thinking about things that the like, which invariably, either, can't be built due to the structure of the build, or can't be used as the item is not fit for their purposes. Draw a plan and get some ideas first, then go to your architect, he can then tweak amend, and amaze with a good starting point!...See More
