Help need in the Bedroon
Comments (23)I’ve just had a think about this. Bearing in mind, a standard UK king size mattress is 150x200... or really by converting exactly 5 feet into metric, it's 152.4, a standard King Size mattress would be 7.5 cm smaller than the frame, which means by placing it central to the slatted base, I would have +/- 3.5 cm gap at each side. Also, a mattress is never a square block, it has got its roundness, so allegedly, when considering you also place a mattress protector and the base sheet, the gap is most likely reduced further. So if I were to buy a ‘standard’ King Size mattress, I could use it – given the weight of the mattresses, I don’t think it is going to move around. A 5' mattress would allow me to tuck the duvet at foot-end as well as at the sides, or I could show off the frame. And of course, I’d find it easier to change the bed linen. Alternatively, the duvet normally overhangs at the sides of the bed, so the gap would be hidden from sight anyway. Technically, I can’t see anything stopping me from doing it. Also, due to the design of the bed, the mattress would be is partly inset into the frame, so the gap would only be seen (in terms of the slatted base), if looking at the bed from above, which I’d never do. Is this 'logical' thinking, or might I have missed something ?...See MoreNeed help with patio and garden design please
Comments (14)Hi there,potentially a great project.You have a superb blank canvas from which to create a landscape. Freshscaped will be able to assist you,I am sure. Meanwhile,if you seek inspiration.....have a look on my website under Portfolio sections; Landscaping and Poolhouses. A recently completed job in Kent where we added woodland,a stream,wild meadow, an eco office,and a superb Marston & Langinger orangery type building. I would be more than happy to put forward some ideas that Freshscaped could develop, or indeed assist with any Interior Renovations you may be doing also. I am based in Surrey,and work in London & the home counties. Best of luck,and do drop me a line if I can be of any inspiration to you. www.bellawhiteleyinteriors.co.uk...See MorePOLL: Do you iron your sheets?
Comments (50)Supervintagegirl- have you every seen or read about "Extreme Irining" as a sport? There are World Championships in it. Got a book on it as a fun wedding present for a cousin who has been known to ask you to take of some item of clothing that you are wearing as you stand in front of her so she can iron it for you!! I kid you not .... My SIL not far behind. Spent 4hrs - FOUR FULL HOURS - Irining her 20 something year olds shirts the other evening !!! It would take less time to train them to do their own. Ho hum .... ironing can be very therapeutic tho .......See MoreBad Installation of Sheet Vinyl and Carpet?
Comments (12)Thanks, all. I ended up showing the father of the business owner, who is an employee, for 30+ minutes. I really fought my corner and they correct most of the mistakes and reinstalled the kitchen vinyl. Throughout, the tradesperson was extremely rude and condescending to me. I sent my husband to the house this morning to let the tradespeople in to complete the work in the kitchen. Apparently, they explained their work in detail to him and treated him with respect. I went over when they had finished their job and was met with such disrespect. "We explained to your husband what we did. If you are not happy with it, he can get clear silicone and seal the vinyl." "I am sure he has reported back to you. Are you happy now? Are you sure? Really?" I could you let it go at this point. In my home country, I'd report them to the chamber of commerce for such behaviour, which is clearly based on sexism. I've done some research but it is not clear to me if I can report the company. Would any of you know, or would you pursue this? Thank you again for your help! 🙏...See More- 6 years ago
