ugly cheap looking banister
Comments (40)Hi @robert-jones53, I do have the details, he was local to Petersfield, Hampshire so depends on where you are located. We ordered all the parts from this company called Multi Turn, in Twyford. They supplied and delivered all the parts and then came out on-site to measure and template the glass! Our carpenter then fitted the Glass. http://multiturn.co.uk/ ED - I appreciate this is an ancient post, but some reason people keep coming back. If there are no similar other posts out there then people will keep coming back....See MoreHallway issue help
Comments (4)Thanks for the feedback. I’ll lift the carpet and a floorboard up on the landing to see where the beams are going, as when doing the kitchen, the builder put a concrete lintel in, as I was intending to take the knee wall out......See MoreWhat could I do to my 1950s bannisters?
Comments (5)My parents had the same wall on thier stairs. We always thought it was structural as it was made from concrete blocks. One summer we decided to take out just the upstairs section and replace with a banister, but after starting the work realised it was not structural at all just really over engineered (typical 1950s!). It wasn't supporting the floor upstairs or even the stairs themselves. Anyway we took the whole thing out and replaced with handrail and square spindles. Completely changed the feel of using the stairs and the hallway downstairs. Also the same wall carried on into the kitchen to form a pantry which we also removed. That really opened up the kitchen too....See MoreSmall garden design help
Comments (4)Hi there Lizzie, I agree with Steph! I think that curvy lines and pushing the planting space more to the centre of the garden would not only emulate more the cottage style that you like but could potentially make your very narrow garden look wider than it is! Also, if you really like plants and flowers I would definitely go for deeper beds than 50cm. This might well mean ditching the lawn (which you said you wouldnt mind anyway), but you would still have plenty of greenery to see from your kitchen from an interesting planting scheme (could have plants that flower at different times of the year, rather than just the green lawn throughout the year for example). Regarding changing your decking for paving, would you keep it the height that it currently is or are you thinking about leveling the new patio with the rest of the garden (decking looked raised on the picture but maybe i got the wrong impression)? Also, something else to consider is the aspect of your garden (and where the shady and sunny areas are) so that you can determine where you would like to sit, planting sheme etc. If you would like more help, I provide a range of online based garden design services (usually cheaper than in person services) from budget friendly sketches and planting plans only to full on garden plans and 3D visuals. Please do not hesitate to have a look at my website for more details and get in touch. I would love to help you with this project! Deborah The Rooted Concept Garden Designs...See MoreMikey
