The tiles in this kitchen where solid limestone.

I would look here on Houzz for various floors, the images/ones you like I would save on Houzz. Then find out costs and when you have honed this down go and see the actual material and get samples. Remember samples if it is a natural product will not be sufficient to make a decision or choice from. With natural products always select from the stock in front of you and add at least 10% to 20% to cover irregularities. Discuss with your supplier, we always recommend tiling the whole area wall to wall, no gaps, so the kitchen goes on top.

I was born in 79 so I grew up listening to my Mum and Dads record collection such as David Bowie, The Beatles, Thin Lizzy, Elvis, Blondie, Diana Ross, Fleetwood Mac and Queen, as a preteen I discovered Cher, Madonna, Whitney Houston and Elton John, and later I discovered Stevie Nicks, Nirvana, Prince and many more, my Mum had the idea that music, the arts, culture, books, creativity and movies play important role in helping to better and in rich a child's life, along with all the truly important things like family, friends, love, kindness, home, care, environment, education and play, ect. Something I hold true myself today and it's been passed down to a new generation of children like a family legacy. Thanks for the great article topic.

We are remodeling our home and have a huge pile of concrete from removing a fireplace and chimney. I'm interested in building a similar terrace and barrier wall on my hillside and saw your comment on this process, using recycled concrete. Can you give me more information about your process?

My husband would use it as a dojo lol. My children would like to ride their scooters round it and maybe add a climbing wall and definitely bunk beds for sleep overs. I would fancy it as a seasonal ‘me’ room where I can vent my design ideas in peace and only invite people in if I felt like it.

So... managed to find time to discuss it late last night, and we definitely like the idea of being able to make bed 3 larger. I've taken it slightly further in some ways but less in others to try and minimise the cost hopefully as bf thinks that regardless of what we do, it'll end up being prohibitively expensive to re-organise upstairs. This plan would : Keep doorways off the landing to bed 2/3 the same as they are currently (I appreciate the benefits of moving them in terms of not having it right at the top of the stairs, however there's still room for a stair gate at the top of the stairs (should we ever need one), and has never been a problem for us since we've been here regardless of who's stayed (almost 6 years). Removing your study area - we have a separate office/mancave downstairs, and I always work at the dining table even when I had an office space if doing work at home, allowing us to have a bigger family bathroom (maybe a pocket door) with hopefully room for a bath and walk in shower? (as actually the 2 bathrooms we'd be joining are quite compact!) Still quite a small landing area, which I appreciate is useful for general circulation space, but we'd be reluctant to cut into bed 3 more than we have to, and there'd be just enough room I think to have a small window which would hopefully make it feel more airy at least. FYI the pink line I've added is where we get full height ceilings back, as the front half of bed 2/3 mostly have sloped ceilings, except for where the dormers are, but they drop to about waist height at the front. The back wall of the ensuite would be the current back wall of the ensuite again to help reduce costs... Ideally I'd have preferred to creep it forward an extra 10-20cm to give that room to bed 3, however I think for such a small distance it's probably not worth having to knock down, and build another wall. What do people think? ? Obviously would still need to ask builders re cost etc and bf thinks I'm getting hopes up and it'll cost too much... (Anyone got any rough thoughts how much it might be?) but I did point out we could fit most of the bathroom stuff at a later date.
