Comments (54)Hi Vivienne, Just wading in with my two pence worth! My immediate thought of what you could put on your wall in your first picture of the table with the plants on it is, artwork or mural of a Japanese garden. Everything about Japanese gardens are about equal and opposites, ying and yang if you like. The effect is calming and reaches into the soul to soothe the stresses away. Probably very necessary when you've been working hard and need a break or some downtime. My other immediate thought to your second picture with the corner sofa is, a seaview or something showing an expanse of water or body of water. If we all had a choice to live within eyesight of the sea or body of water, how many of us would say 'Yes!'. Again, another subject of relaxation for the soul. If any of these subjects are of any interest, I'm sure you can source the exact artwork, mural, poster, canvas whatever you decide it's gonna be for these chosen spaces, but here's a glimpse at what I have in mind when I talk of seaview. All the best with whatever you decide to do....See MoreDecorating ceiling help!!
Comments (2)For freshly plastered walls and ceilings, you have to put a coat of watered down paint on first, this is called your wash coat and it "seals" the plaster. Your ceiling is looking patchy which could be because your paint is soaking into the plaster at different rates, or if the paint you are using is kitchen/bathroom paint there is a "sheen" to the paint, even though it is described as "matt" paint and the sheen is picking up undulations in the surface of the plaster, from the light in your room.. It's going to be a big job, but I would sand your ceiling first, which should take off the undulation and provide a key to the surface of your ceiling, then put on your wash coat, then normal coat, then the finish coat.. I've found that Wickes basic white emulsion is liquid enough to count as a wash coat, so with Wickes paint you might be able to do those two steps (wash coat and normal coat) in one, as you have put a few coats of paint on already. Hope this helps....See Moredecorating ceilings with twisted willow

Comments (43)I can imagine you must be demoralised because you can’t afford what you were dreaming of but I have got to say I get excited about this kind of house, it’s amazing high ceilings and finding one at an end so the garden is not shaded is brilliant. I think you could have a beautiful space if you put bifold doors between the kitchen and the lean to, raise the floor in the lean to so it’s the same height as the kitchen and have the same flooring for a feeling of continuity. The bifolds satisfy building regs as you don’t need to rebuild the lean to, you have a dining space for all but the coldest days and when it is cold you just close the bifold doors....See MoreMy Bespoke Room
