Still not keen on my kitchen...
Comments (31)It's Farrow&Ball Green Blue, so I think you both probably get a point!! Although what you say is interesting because I really dislike the cold feel of the room during the day which might be the blue coming out more. I really like strong blues like navy but can't stand lighter blues and pastels so maybe that is the issue. I certainly prefer the room at night as it has a much warmer feel and looks more green. Maybe we should opt for a different colour after all....See MoreStill not keen on my kitchen...
Comments (14)Hello there, I see you've put a lot of thought into kitchen and dinning area and 1 year is not so long time ago. It would be a shame to strip everything off and start from the begging. I think we can fix easily what you've got there! First when I see your kitchen, I don't see blue, I see slim kitchen cabinet with slim handles and chunky metro tiles back splash. Along with this fact, tile colour starts dominating in the room and it shouldn't happen. Tiles should be an accent but not dominant. Moreover It stands out on its own and doesn't work with blue. I would start from fixing kitchen colour. Get colour tone or two darker than your tiles. I would suggest Natural taupe 1 Dulux. It is rich and warm colour. It will calm kitchen down, in a matter colours are not blending and not matching at the moment. Rich taupe will come tone darker than your tiles and will make white kitchen stand out more. It sounds like paradox but using rich (darker) neutral tone, you brighten your kitchen up. White will stand out and this is your first impression when you enter - light, clean kitchen. Here is internet example of Taupe1 Dulux Moreover, taupe is quiet warm tone and will make kitchen more cozy and it will play well with tiles and flooring. Paint three walls: behind cabinets, wall around window and double doors wall around door. Wall with 3 pictures in the dining room leave blue as a feature. It is great way to show that this area is separate. Blue curtains will show up better with neutral background, leave it. As for pendant in dining room, choose something white to complement white kitchen cabinets. Bring a little bit of white colour to this side. I will agree with comment above that you should add fresh and may be a little bit bright colour in the kitchen. You will have 2 areas in one space, it will give you a right to add roller or Roman blinds with mustard (muted yellow) with grey or blue or teal in pattern) on a window. Add pots with green herbs or even faux grass in pots from Ikea. Your kitchen and dining will look fab with this few changes. Alena, Cheers...See MoreVermin
Comments (27)Well I may have had an over-reaction last year when I found out the neighbours had rats AK! But it was at the time the apples were falling and they were in the area of the compost bin and I found a hole right on the boundary which a friend said that was a rat hole. Actually just writing that is raising my blood pressure! But anyway, I do have a kitchen sink waste disposal and I do have another compost site at the start of the private lane that leads to my property where I take shrub or hedge cuttings that couldn’t be used for anything else because there’s lots of trees close together. And grass goes to in the council bin and I shred leaves and put them on the borders. I suppose I might have a phobia?? I don’t know how I might have developed one but I certainly feel compelled to fight rats out of my garden!!...See MoreNustone defective paving
Comments (4)Looks like rust staining which can happen with sandstone and other natural stone. Try the website www.thepavingexpert.com which gives lots of advice. Their returns policy does not seem to comply with Distance Selling Regulations. When buying something online and unseen, you have the right to return the item without even giving a reason, as long as it is done within 30 days. These are your statutory rights. This doesn’t apply with underwear, pillows and personalised items but pretty much everything else. Obviously paving is more difficult to return but they must have a system for dealing with this and it must crop up sometimes. I would contact the Citizens Advice for help and further advice. I do hope it is sorted soon....See MoreOmega Brick & Landscaping
