Ideas for the Advice section!
Comments (45)Me again! Can we also have a reader's how to section. Such as a designer showing in pictures how to stage a sideboard with bijouterie depending on style, or how to style a bedroom with accents, or even articles on how to achieve X,Y,Z on a budget (I'm sure Houzzer's will have an idea - maybe this could be a section in itself?) Articles on colour or pattern matching etc would appeal vastly methinks. Even simple things that can easily be found on an internet search such as how to prep bannisters for painting would give a more magazine feel. Also a regional links page for cateogries. These could accompany articles. For eg. an article on prepping with images and step by step along with a list of Houzz recommended companies regionally who could undertake the work or fix a botched job! Topics I would be interested in include: How to add value to your home, how to maximise light, how to achieve a professional finish decorating; interior design ideas; how to change the facade of a property; flowers for the garen, door way, flowers for shaded areas, climbers for shaded areas, scented plants, how to ensure colour in the garden all year round etc. Decorating/furnishing ideas to create optical illusions to create size/light etc. Thanks for asking. I love this site and literlly spend hours getting lost on it with a cup of coffee :-)...See MoreBathroom colour scheme advice
Comments (155)It looks great Sam! I love the cabinet, and the flooring choice too, you’d never know it was lino. We have Lino in our utility room, its so easy to keep clean...lovely and warm and soft under bare feet too! You must be so pleased with it, everything works together really well....See MoreHow to remove "Artex" ceiling
Comments (8)We had a similar ceiling in our living room. We got a plasterer to skim over it, no need to take it off. He said he wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but 10 years later it still looks perfect. As Jonathan said, money well spent! 👍...See MoreAsbestos in our textured ceiling
Comments (2)Diffcult, You can skim over it but that dosn't help removing the wall. It depends on what the regs are in your area but I'd say very carfully, but bear in mind its only 5% mixed in to plaster so chances are there wont be alot of it getting free if you carefull and if its a stud wall you can dissasemble it peice by peace and then have the whole ceiling replastered (it will need it anyway, plastering two ceilings together never works well). But I am no expert in asbestos....See MoreHU-103073716
