What shall i put above my bed!
Comments (3)Wall decals would be great and very inexpensive. But these would be fun too: http://www.art.com/gallery/id--b20125-c23946/womens-fashion-photography-prints.htm?ui=52D23FC9C7AD4AACAA6335BAB9205E5E...See MoreWhat would you rather spend money on? Luxury towels or bed linen?
Comments (24)Can't imagine getting up from beautiful crisp linen or top quality cotton to then shower and dry myself with rough old towels. I'd rather drip-dry! Bought some stunning linen pillowcases and bolster pillowcases online - auction - boxed from 40's/50's and am thrilled with them. 4 large pillowcases and 2 bolster pillowcases, with a bit of embroidery £20!!!! Thanks so much seller! Buy great quality towels at TKMaxx - mine are all Turkish and gorgeously soft, then you have the best of both worlds. Go to the Biggest TK or their sister company Home Sense. If you live near Farnborough there are both stores on a retail site there or Reading has a massive Home Sense too. I buy my bed linen from The White company outlets (one of my beds is Emperor) or online from the Linen Cupboard. Terrific....See MoreTired 3 bed 1900's terrace. How can I make the exterior look nice?
Comments (18)Hi I’m also a developer/PRL, and the best price of advice I was given when I was starting out was to remember that on low to mid range profit projects (if not all projects) controlling your spending is the most important thing to remember, and every £ you spend is a £ less profit. I too hate uPVC windows and would not have them on my own home, but many people do like them and see them as a positive when it comes to buying/selling – just look at the houses either side of your house, and I assume along the whole of the street; people do like them! With my developer head on I would suggest that you try to work with what you already have - clean the uPVC frames inside and out with a solvent based professional cleaner, these really shift dirt and marks, and to a certain extent make scratches less noticeable as it removes the ingrained dirt. Replace the interior handles – new ones can be found online at around £1.99 each if you bulk buy. Replace any worn seals with a new universal fitting seal (approx £16 for 20m). If any of the windows are blown/misted, look at replacing the sealed glazed unit instead of the whole window, again the sealed units can be found quite cheaply online. With regards to your porch, it looks like it is integrated with the front window, so removing it would be a time consuming and costly job, so I would leave it as is and possibly look at just replacing the outer door, ideally one with a glazed panel to give a bit more light. I know you said you don't like uPVC doors, however, composite doors are more expensive. As you won't be living there does it really matter if you install a white uPVC door, as long it is the most tasteful and least offensive one you can find. An alternative would be to install fully glazed French doors with both sides opening, which would possibly mean that the doors can open inwards. All of these can be bought online and be fitted yourself – however, you will need to check if you will require a FENSA certificate issuing for the work, otherwise this could cause issues when you come to sell. I wouldn't advise painting the uPVC, as it is really difficult to obtain a good finish, and nothing looks worse than poorly finished paintwork either inside or outside. As others have said, remove the nets, put up some nice curtains (these can be removed and reused on other projects), don't worry regarding privacy, as again you will not be living there, and it will allow more light into the room. If the privacy angle does bother you, you can always put a plain white voile (costs around £2 per m, and a couple of £ for the rod) up at the window with little or no fullness, which gives a more modern, less fussy finish. I would move the dustbins to the rear of the property, and put a couple of large pots in the front garden – I tend to use Olive trees as they can be shaped and don't mind too much if they aren't watered regularly – these can also be removed and used on other projects. Hope this helps – and good luck for the future!...See MoreWhat is your favourite brand of sofas and armchairs?
Comments (13)As I'm not very mobile, I tend to sit in the same chair for a lot of the day. So last year, the OH bought me a leather reclining chair from G plan, which I'm really happy with. Our purchase of sofa/armchair prior to that was from the recently deceased Multiyork, for the smaller of our sitting rooms. We liked that you could get replacement covers and a variety of fillings and firmness for the cushions. I was so sad when I heard they had gorn to the great furniture showroom in the sky. However, we could really do with a new set of sofas/armchairs for the other sitting room, the ones we have in there are about 16 years old. They were from DFS. We bought them a) because they were affordable (as we'd just moved in) and b) they were roughly the style we were looking for in leather. But the sofas have never been massively comfortable and the one armchair which I did find comfortable developed a fault and had to be replaced and the replacement wasn't half a good. So we could have done with Multiyork hanging on a wee bit longer, because without a shadow of a doubt we'd have bought the new ones from there....See Morebowlingfordollars
