What type of professional should I consult?
Comments (11)Thanks for all the helpful offers and advice so far. Let's have a recap on today's help. I can potentially divide my house into flats and perhaps live in one of them. Or I can rethink the house and make it more presentable for sale. Possibly even making it more attractive to live in myself. Definitely I would turn to One Plan for professional design and as a sounding board. Both from the advice given to this question and the amazing designs I see for the complex problems other people have presented. Another offer Is to buy my house and build me a home at the bottom of my garden. This eases my having to deal with all the builders etc. However though this has been done all around me it aggravates and alienates the neighbours and I myself have opposed such plans through loss of light etc in my other close neighbours garden. This alternative allows me to both stay and go. However it doesn't feel that it solves my problem at present. Actually come to think of it it's quite dark down at the bottom of my garden. In my fantasy the Tuscan dream house is at the bottom of the garden. It's the lovely natural stones and simplicity. It can't manifest in reality. Living permanently abroad I don't think is a reality, but maybe I would like a few months in a rented house in the warm sunshine just to potter without my unsolved home problem gnawing away at my spirit. There is the advice on therapy which I can see would help to find inner direction and get in touch with my spirit. This is a real possibility and I know where to find this help. A life coach too is a real need. An accountants advice on the real financial implications and independent financial advice. Gosh it's going to be a full time job!!! Friends and family are there for me but want me to follow my dream, but it hasn't manifested as I had no time and space to muse and explore until now. I did try staying up in the Yorkshire Dales for a few weeks a couple of years ago wondering if I could live there again. It was where I was born and is very beautiful. It was dark and cold and rained for three weeks and it was summer. My spirit is in need of light and warmth at present. Hawaii sounds a wonderful place to make a home particularly with connections. While not yet solving the bigger issue I am combing through my years of accumulated stuff and have time to sort it and potter around looking at my familiar space with fresh eyes. I will ask a couple of estate agents to come and look at the house. Let's see what they have to say. So thank you one and all for giving me your time and it truly feels a wonderful support at a time when I am feeling a bit at sea. The big issue is trying to make a decision with emotions and spirit that has practical financial considerations and one where location, beauty and design are prime....See MoreWhat should I use to support ceiling if I knock through the wall?
Comments (3)Definitely not a job to do without either a structural engineer or a very reliable builder - if you're in the UK you'll need one who can "sign it off" with building regs anyway (different from planning permission) as any new owner can ask to see this and solicitors are quite often insistent. This is not a job to sort out yourself, as has huge implications, not just downstairs, but upper floors too - take no chances. But honestly, any good builder worth his weight should be able to do the work, although many will consider it too small to bother with - get another recommended builder!...See MoreWhat type of curtains should I put in with brown sofa

Comments (14)That photo does look good, the two don't clash at all. I can't afford real wood flooring. I will either be having new laminate or engineered wood flooring, neither of which are something I would want in a kitchen. I also don't feel comfortable having something I feel would be more difficult to clean than tiles. It's a kitchen diner which opens onto our unusually wet and muddy garden. I have two children who create lots of mess. Just yesterday my eldest spilled some sort of hideous red goo all over the cream carpet upstairs! My other option is some sort of blue geometric patterned tiled floor. I haven't been able to find many affordable options so would probably only be able to do half of the room, depending on the way it is designed. Do any more affordable options exist? I found the optiks tiles at topps tiles which are just under £70 a square metre, so still too expensive for me. They are also quite a light blue and I'd prefer something darker. Are there any other options around?...See More
