Decorate the Houzz UK Office walls!
Comments (54)Hi Vivienne, Just wading in with my two pence worth! My immediate thought of what you could put on your wall in your first picture of the table with the plants on it is, artwork or mural of a Japanese garden. Everything about Japanese gardens are about equal and opposites, ying and yang if you like. The effect is calming and reaches into the soul to soothe the stresses away. Probably very necessary when you've been working hard and need a break or some downtime. My other immediate thought to your second picture with the corner sofa is, a seaview or something showing an expanse of water or body of water. If we all had a choice to live within eyesight of the sea or body of water, how many of us would say 'Yes!'. Again, another subject of relaxation for the soul. If any of these subjects are of any interest, I'm sure you can source the exact artwork, mural, poster, canvas whatever you decide it's gonna be for these chosen spaces, but here's a glimpse at what I have in mind when I talk of seaview. All the best with whatever you decide to do....See MoreShare a photo of something that says spring to you!
Comments (20)The photo you used is definitely giant fennel because the same pic came up in a google search, however you are right to ask a local. Here in Ibiza the Ibicencans pick all kinds of food from the field boundaries and woods all year. At the moment it is mostly aspargus, wild garlic and the fresh bright green shoots of normal fennel. Mushrooms are a big thing in the autumn and most of the year there is a green veg that looks and tastes similar to spinach. Also the Med has sage and rosemary everywhere. I am still learning for when I retire, I have some land around the house with all of the above plus almonds, olives, oranges, lemons, pomegranite and a lovely fruit called Nispera in Spain but my Spanish mate Chema tells me there is a lot more that is both healthy and free. I also have a False pepper tree the fruits of which are actually useable as pepper (black)....See MoreHouzz Call: Amazing UK homes!
Comments (6)This small,l two-room flat in Brighton&Hove, has undergone a complete renovation, originally untouched since 1974, walls have been removed and re-positioned, kitchen moved - just about everything that could be done to squeeze as much out of the limited space. A couple of shots showing the chaos of renovation! And now a few 'After' shots. In fact the flat recently won, for it's Architect/designer duo, a 'Highly Commended' in the Sussex Heritage, architecture awards....See MorePOLL: Would you rather live in the UK or abroad?
Comments (16)I've lived in the UK (London and Sussex) for over 20 years - and loved it. I love everything about the British; the humour, the culture, the quaint villages, the Pubs, kind people - everything! The only thing missing is the weather - it's just not in the UK. I have a house in the center of Italy, where I go to often, but I live most of the time in the South of France. I often come back to the UK, but would I live here again - don't think so. If the UK had huge snowy mountains for skiing, and hot sandy beaches to go to in summer - if winter was winter and summer was summer, I would be back in a flash!...See More72717271
