Does anyone know where they got their rough wood beams from?

They are beautiful and I would love to add them to a project I am thinking about doing.

Hello Sarah. These old green oak roof trusses and purlins were from the existing barn before conversion. The contractor used a wire brush to clean them up!

Mylands. You always regret your economies. I've repainted this kitchen 4X over the years, and last time was in Dulux which wore so poorly. Just custom mixed a new vibrant duck egg to paint my kitchen in marble matt walls, eggshell woodwork, and floor paint. Mylands matched impeccably. It was a dream of coverage, and looks spectacular. The quality of the pigment shows, looks the money, nothing like synthetic mediocre pigments in cheaper paint. It's a big improvement.

Hi there.. Yes they are bought by the size of the area you need to heat... We lived in the Shetland isles.for 5 years, and was an old craft house. And mostly to heat the hole house.. When it was hot,, it was hit and such a warm and welcoming feature on our most chilly and windy days... But the things is it can also be hard work.. Maybe not as much if you are in a warmer area. We could freely get pallets which helped immensely... And we tried to remove as many nails as we could see.. Otherwise these got caught in the grate at the bottom... But I would still say hard work . We got coal about £10 a bag, peat was the best for heat, but that started to get a little dearer to. All in all we paid about £2500 with the fire and fitting. About 3 years ago now. Didn't regret it at all. But would think twice about having one now.. I ain't getting any younger..

Hello webuser_348360, Reeve.. because they are one of my trade companies... Their wood is really lovely.. I have all their samples displayed in my bedroom which is a feature on the design page on my website! I thought that you might like to look at a variety of lovely colours and textures that might be of interest, as there's so much more than just a natural coloured floor..... With the chalky whites... Acre, Shirting and White Lead are all lovely creamy warm whites.. Also Slaked Lime, but it's less creamy and can appear cool... LG is low VOC and water based.. so nice for the environment and easy on the brushes! : ))

Not sure if the large green shrubs are the conifers.... At least they are evergreen, which your mixed hedge won't be and I suspect it will take quite a long time for the mixed hedge to grow and thicken up. I don't know how big your garden is but have you thought about 'blurring' the boundary rather than completely screening? You could put up trellis panels either side of the pretty Wendy house but set them about a foot away from either side, no taller than eaves height, about eighteen inches away from the boundary so they don't look like part of the fence. Paint the panels and Wendy house in a colour that tones with your house. You could even place other matching trellis panels of different heights, in line with the boundary but at different distances from the fence and gaps of a couple of feet between them so they don't make a solid barrier. Next summer you could grow sweetpeas against the trellis panels giving you some quick fix screening and fragrant flowers for the house. I would recommend square trellis rather than the fiddly diamond trellis. Failing that you could try and trim the conifers so they will eventually blend in with the mixed hedge.
