Both, one for our bedroom and one for the outside. In the bedroom, I had the chimney breast 'destroyed' to make space for a long, slim one (should've been like under the painting). Then the carpenter made a mess with the drawers unit and we fired him and left it unfinished, looked for another carpenter (long story) - however, in the meanwhile, Andrew's changed his mind and doesn't want the bio-ethanol fireplace at all. Outside, I wanted it where the star and birdie is... would've looked fab...

Need help on style of porch and front door!

Thanks so much everyone - this has been great. Sorry for the lack of response - been flat out!!!! It must be hard for you American guys to work on such old English designs.... The ideas have gradually culminated into what really would look good on the house. Ourfarmhouse - these are absolutely great ideas, and thanks Everything Beautiful for getting the jist and putting the ideas onto the house image - nothing like seeing an actual design on your own home. We've got an architech working on it, and he's keen on the iron-wrought idea... but we're not sure. Basically toss-up with this and Everything Beautiful's design (2 above). Going with a four-pannel door, but would like to incorporate some glass somewhere! Possibly a panel above with the house name engraved on it?? Victoria - absolutely right...! We don't need to sit outside with the weather.......... say no more! Just wanting something to cover yourself while you're unlocking the door. We've also done a tour of the local areas, and found a couple of porches - amazing what you find right on your doorstep! Will attach pics shortly...

Converting a communal rooftop into a rooftop garden?
Q
Comments (9)
No experience but it might be an idea to talk to an estate agent to see how much value having a communal garden would add to the property value/rental income. It could well give the landlords a reason to invest. Even if it doesn't add significant value in cash terms it could however mean flats never remain unoccupied. There may also be some budget within the management company's pot? Hopefully the offices would be willing to chip in as it's of benefit to their employees. The only potential issue I foresee is with the bars, how do you stop drinkers accessing the terrace? Do all owners/tenants have access rights to the terrace? Have you spoken to other residents about this? I would probably suggest holding a residents meeting. Outline various proposals for developing it. If you have support from other residents then elect a committee etc to drive it forward ie seek quotes for each option, time to develop, check if any planning permission is required, outline the incentives etc etc. Once you have all this information regroup with the residents, take a vote on the favourite and then present it to the the management company. I'd also have a look to see if there are any grants available to subsidise

Garden - before and before but with sketches
Q
Comments (11)
Dear Rachel, Thank you so very very much for your comments - I have uploaded an amended version of the design: "The problem I have with your sketch is that everything is in a straight line and all the planting is shoved up the back. I think by playing around with the orientation and shapes of things you can create much more interest and by having planting closer to the house it will invite you to see what is beyond." So the text above - other comments have expressed similar feedback. I have looked at the diagonals but can’t quite make it work - I think I need to go to pencil and paper - the sketching tools on computer aren’t dynamic enough. As I was struggling with diagonals I went for that curve coming out from the decking (pagoda maybe) all the way down. I’ve also added in the areas of planting. My mother has some gorgeous huge ceramic pots that she is prepared to donate to me so plants will all be grown in things as my soil is not very good quality. "So I’ve roughly sketched a couple of ideas (click to enlarge pics) working from the wall and steps. I would leave the patio by the house as is for now and yes, if it will fit relocate shed to the side, paint it black!” Wonderful, so grateful, love them! "Main feature is the decking or platform area which I think you’d like a pergola type structure? maybe with hanging chair?" Yes, that is the part of the garden that has the sun pretty much all day. It would either be. swing/hammock type thing or sofas - I’m going to do pencil and paper sketches - have done some actually - will scan and upload Also put in a little decked bridge to link both areas. " To define the edges between borders I would use railway sleepers to stop everything looking the same colour but you could use anything you want." I am able to get sleepers from a charity I am involved with but was thinking maybe bricks along the curve? Loving your feedback and ideas - spent the day in the sun weeding and I’ll organise a weeding party when my friends are available which should be pretty soon. Also doing time-lapse pictures to see progress. Thank you thank you once again, so grateful :) Nieko
