POLL: Ivy on the home - love or loathe?
Q
Comments (32)
I hate it. I quite like the smell and the look is quite nice (especially if over an ugly building). However the cons, and there are many, far out-weigh the pros. High maintenance, potential structural damage, insects (though I don't mind them too much) and worse - you may as well be building a network of ladders for mice and rats to get around. Ugh. On the structural damage - with old houses, it is essential that the pointing is regularly checked and it has to be redone from time to time. Even if the ivy doesn't cause damage by getting in through cracks, it still traps moisture and holds it in your porous brick walls for longer causing potential damage to brickwork and timbers behind it such as lintels and joists. Even at the very least it obscures the view of your walls so you can't check your pointing regularly and monitor any cracks (which you mightn't notice until too late anyway if ivy-covered). Ivy is just bad news for a building even if it does look nice. Edited to add one more thing, that I forgot - ivy spreads rapidly and aggressively (birds sprinkle the berries around) and smothers trees and other plants so it's not all that environmentally friendly after all.

How To Improve The look Of Your Kitchen For Less

The average family spends a large amount of time in the kitchen, so it is important that the room fits their personal style. Remodeling a kitchen can turn out to be extremely expensive, so its not an option for everyone. However, if you are looking for less costly ways to make your kitchen look good, then I’m happy to say that you have come to the right place. Shiny, new appliances can make any kitchen look better, but these things often come with a premium price tag. Stainless steel stoves and microwaves are in high demand, and you would be hard-pressed to find them at a good price point. One way to get the items you want without the huge cost is to buy these items used. Search online for people that are selling gently used appliances. This means that your wallet will have money when you are done, and you will have great looking appliances. Installing new cabinetry can make a room look particularly nice and sleek, but this is one of the more expensive kitchen improvements. To get a new look without spending a lot, apply a coat of paint to your cabinets. This will make them look brand new, and it will only cost you a few dollars. Make sure that you use good quality paint, so you don’t have to worry about peeling and chipping. That will defeat the purpose and make the cabinets look worse than ever. If you have limited home space you can search on public storage near me to remove kitchen items until renovation done. A fresh coat of paint can go a long way, so make sure you put some on your walls. Cooking a lot can cause the paint on the walls to look old and yellowed. While this is somewhat expected, it does not mean that it looks good. You should paint over your kitchen with a nice bright color. Avoid using white, or they will start to look yellow again in no time. Add crown molding to your cabinets and walls. If you have ever watched home improvement shows, you know that people cannot get enough of crown molding. This is because it can dramatically change the look of a room, and it doesn’t cost very much. Many people install crown molding that contrasts a bit in order to make it stand out more. Consider this before you go out and buy any materials. Replace the faucet and sink. It is as simple as that. An old water-damaged sink area is far from attractive. It can help make your kitchen look much older and worn than it actually is. Look for a nice, new sink that has a bit of personality to it. This will help bring a lot more to the room than installing one of the older, traditional ones. As stated earlier, the kitchen is one of the rooms in your house that the entire family spends time in. This is why you have to work on making the area a lot more inviting. The tips above will show you the best way to do that without spending a ton of money.

Mantel Mirror leaning on crown molding

I like mirrors to lean on the mantle, even if they are attached to the wall. I think it makes the fireplace feel bigger and makes it more prominent in the room.

Coving vs No coving
Q
Comments (4)
How faithful to the period are you hoping to keep your renovation? Many homes from this time would have only had coving in "the good room" and as such it would be totally in keeping to leave the other rooms without. If you do go ahead and install I would definitely go with your plan of keeping the design simple and without too many curves (curves would be more in keeping in a Victorian style home). Good luck!
