Garden decision help, please!

3 years ago

Hello, thanks for reading this - I'm in need of some help! We have a back courtyard area that has so much potential and wanting to plan the next step. It's south facing and is a lovely little suntrap but was all paved over when we moved in. We would love it to be a lush little sanctuary to relax in and have been making a start - we have now taken off paving slabs and ready to add top soil and plants to the sections pictured. The big dilemma is whether or not to remove the walls of those sections.
Are there any good structural/drainage reasons not to remove them?
We feel the angles don't make sense and it would be nicer if we created banks with the earth instead to create softer lines for flower beds.
All comments/thoughts to help us decide are much appreciated! Thanks.

Hi, the feet are on all of the cabinets at the end of every run when we hit an appliance or just came to the end of the run. Some of the photos up thread were taken before the feet had been added since they were literally the last thing to go on. We actually used the ikea deco strip to create the moulding but we didn't use it the way Ikea anticipate. We fixed it sideways. It is supposed to be fixed the other way around but that look would have been too "modern" for this kitchen. If I was designing the kitchen again I wouldn't bother with the ikea deco strips and would have used pre cut wooden moulding and then painted it. This would have enabled me to have slightly deeper moulding at the ceiling line. At the time of ordering the kitchen I didn't know that we would find an exact paint match for the ramsjo range though. The wooden worktops were incredibly good value IMO. They are american black walnut (butcher block) and are from wood and beyond here worktops This thread doesn't show it but at the same time as doing the kitchen we did the adjoining snug and the large utility room. In the utility room I used the ikea walnut worktop which was ridiculously cheap because it's not solid walnut. There is no way you could ever know it isn't solid though unless you installed it. Its perfectly good. ikea karlby worktop The flooring is my big mistake with this kitchen. As the thread shows, this wasn't originally going to be a complete kitchen refit and it spiralled out of control somewhat. The flooring was being replaced due to a water leak and we went for laminate due to cost. Its from kaindl and as laminate goes its decent stuff with bevelled edges, narrow planks and texture matched finish BUT it was a mistake. It looks great and when you tell people its laminate they have to get down really close to tell but it damages very easily and is scratched, particularly underneath the kitchen table where the kids scrape the chairs in and out (even with felt pads on the feet). If you drop anything on it and it chips thats a problem. This wouldn't have been a problem with wood. I've never had laminate before and hadn't realised it would be this difficult to live with but I wouldn't do it again, I would bite the bullet and install the hardwood. The big benefit of the laminate was that we could have underfloor heating mats which are nice in the winter. The lighting is from Jim Lawrence. The style is called Ava. I love the lighting too and the shape of the glass echos the shapes in the wallpaper. pendant lights The kitchen table was our old ikea oak table which we'd had for ten years. we stained the top in dark walnut and painted the legs white to match the cabinetry. I haven't got a precise figure for everything but in total with the appliances and with the snug and also the large utility room included (which in itself has 14 cabinets) flooring and the decorating in each of those rooms and a hallway, plus new glazed doors through to the hallway and the dining room we spent about £15,000 (a big chunk of this on lovely ikea interest free credit though!). This includes all labour, fitter, plumber (we changed out two radiators for a nicer style), electrician, decorator. We could have saved further money by doing some of the installation ourselves and doing our own decorating (but then it would probably have resulted in selling the house due to divorce!)

Make sure your patio is large enough. I always like it to be at least a 4x4 metres, depending on the size of the garden and how you want to use it. Use string and wooden pegs to design your garden and see how it feels. Consider the view from the house into the garden too.

Aluclad front door ....decisions decisions

I'm probably overthinking things but I'm have a front door dilemma... The architects concept for the entrance to our new house is it to be dark, enclosed and protective so when the door opens it reveals a very light space with a full height corner window showing views over the garden to sea and mountains. I love this concept but there's something niggling me! The front door is planned to be Black Aluclad with vertical lines mimicking the cladding . I'm concerned that the vertical indented lines will just look false. We will use this door a lot, as will out big dog who like to try to open doors.. I'm worried if the Aluminium cladding will not stand up to claws, at least wood can be sanded down and repainted. Does anyone have an aluclad door, how does it stand up to wear? As I'm writing this I'm seeing that the problem is the type of door. There's a niggle saying I'd prefer it to be a wood clad door continuing the larch cladding but I'd have no idea where to start as the window company don't offer anything like this. Any ideas that may help clear my total indecision?

I think that you may be looking at bigger rooms in other properties and imagining something that’s not achievable here in the same way. Without the measurements I can’t exactly tell how the room sizes compare but it appears that the new space is likely no bigger than the living room and kitchen in the original flat but you are wanting it to be better. I will concede that an extra bedroom does add to the resale value significantly. But you have stated that you are imagining a kitchen and an island and this takes up space. A kitchen run against the wall, a 1000w walkway, a 1000 deep island and 1200w space behind the island for stools will leave only a 2m wide space for your living room and you are looking to reduce that further with a fake fireplace and bookshelves. Even if you reduce the size of your walkways and islands to bare minimums this is still too tight. This is without any doubt a compromised space. And no amount of looking at pictures of very wide rooms will make this 5.9m wide room bigger. Your options are to have a sh&t living space, reconsider the island or to make a compromise on bedroom size and move the bathroom. Personally I would have already made the decision and that cornice would already be forgotten. Don’t forget that you can have replacement cornice made and installed so you can still have pretty bedrooms even if you move the bathroom.
