Something to fill the gap

Thanks, Bev. We designed and specified the materials, got carpenter to make the frame (and hang!), a glass supplier to measure and supply the glazing and an architectural ironworker to handmake the handles (but you could sibstitute commercially available handles). Any good glass supplier should be able to make the doors if you tell them the hinges you want and say where you want the holes for the handles. I think our gap is around 8ft so design would have to be scaled down. Issues to consider would be type of hinge: opening only one way, both ways and/or if enough space, opening right back on itself as per the bifolds in earlier post). If not fully opening back, plain unframed glass can be a bit of a hazard as you can walk into it. ii) single door or matching pair (symmetrical pair look much easier on the eye but if scaled down you may find you can't walk through half with a tray and need to open both sides which can be a pain. Probably best to scale down the side panels first and go from there. I'd put up with the pain for the looks but others wouldn't! I agree that the clear glass look would look good in your contemporary surroundings, but so would the Crittall and the Japanese screen in other posts. Hope your final choice works out well for you :)

We have slimline aluminium frames throughout our newly moved in house and I have admired their clean, modern look from the moment we had our first viewing. The rooms are flooded with light and the frames give a sharp aesthetic which lends itself to our mid-century look. Have lived with Upvc and wooden frames previously but the aluminum frames have gone to the top of my list.

vv0123, I have two silk duvets. The double was an expensive make bought in a sale - 4.5 tog - light and cool and drapes well, so warm in winter too. I get hot so use it in winter and use a thinner 2.5 tog cotton filled one bought from Lidl in summer. I bought a silk single one for around £50 on ebay but it isn't the same. It's heavier (though the same tog rating) and the stiff cover material creaked when I moved so I had to get rid of it. If you're buying silk go for quality. I also have a thin hemp-filled one from John Lewis, but don't like it as much as the cotton.

Sam it’s fab! I do love old metal containers for plants. Love the pond and the back lane planting. Who doesn’t love a bit of pink! My garden has gone crazy with all this rain and it’s a jumble of colour. No planting plan, just impulse purchases. Here’s one bit, please excuse the rain. My favourite is the orange Crocosmia. If you have space then squeeze one in somewhere. 😊🌸
