Art Deco Fireplace
Comments (12)I recommend, because of the Spanish/ Mexican themes I can spot within the fireplace I would add colourful tiles around the fireplace to make it the centre of attention and to make it more interesting. However, considering that this is a living a would recommend terracotta or a warm subtle vermillion colour, or if you prefer bright colours I would either go with turquoise, pink, red, green or dark blue. I would not recommend yellow as yellow is a bit garish and would not compliment the fireplace whatsoever. The same with gold really. Personally I would choose red for the walls :) Hope this helps :) Dark wooden furniture might also go with the colours :) A mirror above the fireplace would also add a lovely touch by extending the lights so it wouldn't be too dark :)...See MoreGarage - go underground or not?

Comments (2)Hi Lots to answer here, i might not get through it all but can certainly add to your post: Firstly, the more you can build above ground the more cost effective it will be, groundwork costs for underground projects have more structural considerations, drainage etc and therefore high likley to be more expensive. Your 8m x 7m is to tight for 3x cars plus a store room. Something will need to give if you want all this across one level. A rule of thumb would be to keep garage bays at 3m wide by 5.5/6m depth. As an example, our standrad 3 bay garages are 9m x 6m, if you add a store than half a bay should do it at 1.5m x 6m. You do have a generous depth at 7m so could incorporate a store at the back instead, but it will be 1/1.5m deep (maybe this is sufficent?). I can send you our garage range showing all dimmensions if it helps you with measurements, so you can see what sizes work. This includeds our room above garages as well. Just contact me through our profile. Equally if you would benefit from seeing what others have done, request our ideas brochure. Normally i could provide price indications but with your groundworks issue this woukld be misleading. Typically an above ground build for a 3 bay room above barn would cost £50k/£60k + vat for the full works and then a single storey 3 bay barn barn £40k + vat - but with your requirements and sliders for classic cars etc your into serious costs beyond this im afraid. However certainly a very nice project. On the face of it, i would suggest a 8m x 7m Extrawide two bay barn with room above for storage/office. the garage bays would be very wide and therefore could accomodate a store (or event he stairs if need be). Alternatively a tight 8m x 7m three bay, but be sure to sling a tape measure with some markers around your cars to expereince what getting in/out of the cars will feel like. Note: If you keep the bays open to one another then the car door can swing open into the other bay, making it not so bad. I hope this at least fills in some of the gaps. We deal with complicated groundworks from time to time and driveway/drainage solutions to combat this. Its never a cheap process, but always rewarding .

Comments (5)Hi I am an artist in England and specialise in bespoke art - but I am guessing you are in the US - here is my advice you can look online at saatchiart.com search for price range size style (abstract etc) and even colours there are affordable pieces to be had, you can also select those from the country you are in to minimise shipping costs. Or you could go to a company that prints photos onto large canvases and pick out one or two of your own photos (landscape, seacape, trees etc you will have an affordable solution and something that reminds you of a favourite place or time. You can afford to go bright and bold in this space. From an aesthetic point of view - can you raise the light? even 10 inches would help :)...See MoreHelp me add wall art to our dining room
