1904 the tree is a cherry plum. I'm not sure of the variety as we inherited it and designed the garden around it.

It is a beautiful tree as is your whole garden. Thank you so much for answering my question.

I'm tempted to say a fully redeemed mortgage but I suspect that may not be in the spirit of the discussion, in which case...a stone terrace with a weathered stone water fountain and bird bath overlooking a large, mature garden and orchard. (For some reason, I'm also imagining that this terrace has wireless broadband and a fully-staffed cappuccino bar just out of my line of sight...).

Wow, you have done a great job already with your kitchen. You have had so many great ideas re. the wall there isn't anything on that I could add. To solve the problem of the chairs hitting the wall I would either opt for a huge floor to ceiling mirror which would encourage one and all to be careful when leaving their seat or my preferred option would be to replace the chairs on that side with a bench. I'd cover the bench in either shabby chic cushions or a deer or sheepskin rug for comfort and I'd play with table decor. Get chair covers for the redundant chairs and use them in the bedrooms - one in each corner. Then for formal dinner parties or for when the table is extended you simply remove the covers and add them to the table and you can still use the bench if the table is extended.

One thing you haven't mentioned is the size of the room. If the room is on the small side, painting the walls in the same colour up to the ceiling will accentuate the height of the ceiling and bring the walls in. Also, using one paint colour on the fireplace wall and a different one on the other walls will break the room up and possibly narrow the room visually. You'd be better off removing the tiles (they would never have been on the hearth originally, and replace with a slate hearth and choosing whatever colour suits you and the room. The picture rail does break up the wall, but that's a good thing, helping with the room's proportions. The room faces west so you will get late afternoon sun at that time of day. Whether it's a bedroom or a lounge (you didn't say) the grey green that you mentioned will be soothing but will become much greyer at night under artificial light. As mentioned earlier, it's worth buying a sample pot, painting some lining paper and hanging large pieces up in different part of the room. Study this at different times of the day and in artificial light before making your decision.

Natalia’s first home! It was such fun helping her to get the look she wanted. I was initially invited for a 2 hour consultancy session which took place before she moved in; we talked about decor, storage, window dressings, furniture layout, wardrobe design, accessories and an art wall. It’s amazing how much you can cover in a short time and when I left I know Natalia’s head was spinning… in a good way! Happily she called me back once she had the keys to the apartment and asked me to design the art wall which had now become the focus of her attention. Natalia showed me the website she had found… Desenio.com. She loved almost everything on it so I asked her to draw up a wish-list! Room layout This is a 1-bedroom apartment in a period property conversion. The lounge is rectangular in shape with a beautiful window in the long wall and the door to the hall on the other. The kitchen units run along one of the short walls and the art would be placed opposite. I took into consideration the size of the doors on the kitchen units and decided to balance this by choosing large format framed prints instead of smaller ones. We had discussed the furniture layout so I knew a sofa would be sitting in the corner of the room and I felt this ought to be integrated and become part of the design. Decorating We wanted the ‘wow’ factor to do this lovely property justice and it took only a little convincing from me for Natalia to use the dark coffee colour (Royal Academy Basilica) for the short walls and a warm white (Fleur Snow White) for the rest of the walls and ceiling. Both colours are available online from paint supplier ColourandPaint.com. During the Christmas holiday break Natalia got out the paint roller and did some DIY! She didn’t have a hammer though… oh dear, I feel a song coming on… so I took a few bits and pieces with me when it came time to hang the pictures. Affordable art This art wall came in at around £300 – and yes, it is ‘wow-ing’ all Natalia’s friends. We were both pretty pleased with our handiwork too! With grateful thanks to photographer Christian Payne aka @Documentally. And thank you Desenio and ColourandPaint for being so supportive. See my Houzz profile for more photos of this project. Natalia had never used an interior designer before - see what she says about the experience.
