Comments (27)I've finally had it done, all, painted and downlights fitted! The difference is amazing, obviously it looks far better but also the additional lighting which I have now included with warm white bulbs makes a huge difference - all surfaces look brighter and larger and the whole house looks much more modern. £1630 very well spent. I had 4 rooms done in total. Pics before and after are not that exciting as it's hard to make a ceiling look interesting, but here they are anyway!...See Morehow can I create kerb appeal
Comments (14)Hi, I'm of the same ilk as The Bulb co above, not a natural born gardener but clean and tidy with a few feature plants is great. A couple of plants that perform well for me, (mainly because i don't have to do anything are), 'red robin' and the Pieris Japonica which is the red one you have in the front garden by the looks of things. Both are evergreen and take very little care, well in my garden anyway. An occasional cut of the red robin keeps new growth coming through red. About once a year. There a link to more info from RHS whivh may help. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=145 That's the end of my gardening knowledge but I would offer a suggestion of a nice modern outside light something like this adds a bit of a modern look. If you can move the light a little further to the right as you look at the house it's let you show off the architectural detail of your doorway a little better. Finally your home is pretty, it's looks well built and honest and that has a charm that many modern homes lack. We have a great magazine which in this months edition talks a little about post modern homes. It's worth signing up to our newsletter and you get the digital mag FREE along with lots of other VIP benefits on of which is discount for any new VIP subscribers really worth doing as it's giving a special 20% Off at the moment. Maybe good time to join up? Best Regards The Lighting Company...See MoreSofa etiquette or how to deal with generous neighbours
Comments (20)Hello ladies&gents! And thank you for your continued interest in the sofa adventures of a confused housewife! The issue has been resolved! however, you don't get to know the result until you have all the details, so bear with me please :).... It's been a mad week - a friend of ours asked if we could 'babysit' his 2 years old Springer Spaniel for a couple of days. Of course, we'd love to, the idiot us (hubby&I) said, we'd be delighted, as we want to get a dog anyway and this would be good practice. After 2 days with Bonnie, I came very close to committing suicide :)) - due to tiredness and because I just couldn't stop laughing hysterically at Andrew who was trying to logically reason with the dog. Bonnie is the most delightful creature I've met in a long time, exuberant, happy, running mad all over the place, chasing every bug in existence, barking mad at every sound, sleeping for 10 minutes to wake up barking at... gods know what... she'd be pulling the leash like she was being chased by hell-hounds, almost dislocated my shoulder a few times, always trying to find a puddle to splash in, she jumped in the river - Andrew almost had a heart attack, as she was trying to go across instead of returning to him... Why I'm telling you all this? Because in my 5 hours sleep for 3 nights, evidently I didn't want to approach Carol and conduct a tactful discussion with her - that was just beyond my abilities.. However, loony Bonnie forced my hand after deciding that, even though it doesn't smell very nice, Kate's sofa was a lot better than her doggy bed, so she 'moved in' leaving mud, hair and slobbering all over the thing. I admit, I felt rather insulted, we have all these other perfectly nice sofas, and the dog prefers Kate's... Plus, I put the sofa in the 'out the way, messy corner' in front of the bins (sorry, I didn't tidy up for the photo). So I went to Kate and told her that 'we have to talk'. I spent half an hour rubbing the sofa down after Bonnie's owner came to get her yesterday - and managed an 8 hours no barking sleep last night. To cut the story short, Kate came for tea an hour ago. I told her directly that I feel very flattered that she offered me the sofa, but there's genuinely no room for it in our house and I just don't know what to do with it (I moved it in this other corner (below) for when she came, not by the bins... naughty me... Oh, and please don't ask why we have a dinghy in the garden... it was supposed to be there for 3 days until Andrew would find a trailer to move it.. that was 7 weeks ago). Anyway, Kate said 'I knew you're going to say that' and told me she'll have it back. Just like that. Direct, simple, easy... after me agonising about her reaction... it felt very flat and anticlimatic (hence the story about the dog to keep you all entertained :)). Love her, Kate then said 'I'll bring you back the champagne", we decided to drink it together when I'm back from Paris - we're going for 3 weeks, I need to finish the terrace and balcony there...

My sincere gratitude and apologies for making you spend time on my non-issue - it's my Latin temperament that drives me to panic and impulse reactions (and Houzz posts). And probably the reason I talk (write) so much... Thank you all! Bye - for now!...See MoreFront drive/parking advice
Comments (29)As someone else has already suggested, i'd opt for a nice gravel laid within a plastic honeycomb grid system to stablise it and keep it uniform. The whole construction should be subbase to avoid the need for planning permission and you can add a stone threshold detail across the width of the entrance from the road to provide an attractive approach and demark the driveway. I think your house is too rustic in appearance to suit tarmac and needs a softer more rural choice of materials to compliment the house, plus you have a large area so planting is crucial to maintain the balance between hard and soft landscaping....See More
