Need help with the outside of my house
Comments (57)Agree with Oneplan about the glazed porch so you don't lose light, think you should let her draw up elevation plan for builders. Agree with people telling you to play up the asymmetry. Also think you should have a tame( not rampant) flowering climber up the posts around the porch. Something that tolerates shade. If has thorns may discourage kids climbing up on porch roof....See MoreWhat topics would you like to see more of?
Comments (75)Yes, please. Hiding the ugly necessities of daily living so that they are easily accessible. Without this, the grandest interior scheme goes to pot in the face of children's and the grandparents' needs - especially when they share the same space. AND DISABLED grandparents' needs - and accoutrements!...See MoreLooking to create as much space as possible
Comments (13)I hope you don't mind me saying but I think with your current budget, assuming this also includes the boiler, flooring, bathroom etc, you may be a bit limited in what you can do. Longer term I would create a bigger conservatory or extension. For now, I would remove the dining room wall (assume this is non-load bearing) and the loo and porch (but you'd need to check building regs for porch). I'd have the same layout kitchen but taking it to the conservatory wall and extending slightly on the right (if you want to keep lounge door). Personally I'd close off the lounge for sofa arrangement. Consider maybe a round dining table that sits where the existing kitchen/dining wall is and have pretty much most of the dining room as a play area. You can either put seating in the conservatory or the kids can also use this. If the shower room is big enough Id just add the WM (again need to check regs). Although you don't need a separate shower now you may well do in the future? If the WM doesn't fit, then remove the shower and keep the loo and sink. I think if you shop around you should be able to do a new kitchen, bathroom, utility, flooring, boiler and decorating within budget but extending space may be a phase 2. Get a local fitter or builder for kitchen and try howdens or ikea for the actual units. City plumbing are good for reasonably priced but quality bathrooms and I've heard good feed back re Victoria plumb....See MoreSitting Room Paint Colour Choice
Comments (20)Thanks Colour Happy. Plasterer has been in already but only plastered where needed so I'm assuming that means we don't need to plaster behind wall paper (some of which had to be removed for the rewiring) and Painter seems happy enough to do remainder of filling/smoothing walls but thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check again with them. Re sisal, no dogs but small kids at home so need to stick to softer/more standard carpet!...See MoreCelery. Visualization, Rendering images
