Knock walls down or not?
Hi All,
My son and his fiancee are in the process of buying their first home together and have had an offer accepted. It's a bit of a renovation project, although the house was only built in around 2000. The kitchen needs to be ripped out and started again. They want to knock the kitchen through to make one room downstairs and upstairs plan to take out the fitted wardrobes and airing cupboard. The house currently has electric storage heaters. Their plan is to have a combi boiler in the kitchen so they will not need a cylinder upstairs. There is gas to the property.
So my question is whether anyone can suggest the best way to arrange the kitchen area, given it is so small? Is it a good idea to open it up (building regs?) or would it be optimal to keep at least some of the existing walls in place?
It's a mid terrace, so party walls will come into the equation of course.
They are on a tight budget, so extending to the back is out (at least for now). They want to get a dining table in as well as a breakfast bar.
If anyone has time on their hands and fancies playing around with this they will be most grateful. (And I really need to suggest they sign up to Houzz and ask their own questions!)
Many thanks, Angie. (Floor plan attached, I hope.
)

Commentaires (18)Bonjour! Pourquoi ne pas investir dans un second pot identique au premier et le modifier un peu: découper la fibre de verre (se protéger les yeux et porter des vêtements longs!) à la meuleuse pour incorporer le regard EP dedans et riveter un nouveau fond dans le pot... Au pire un second bambou en pot placé sur cales à l'intérieur fera illusion... Et vous cacherez en partie la descente d'eau pluviales! C'est ce que j'aurais fait! Sinon faites revenir l'entrepreneur qui a osé laisser ce regard apparent!!... Voir plusNeed advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment
Commentaires (2)I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots....

Commentaires (0)This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all down. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!... Voir pluscomments on furniture placement?
Commentaires (10)Hello Catherine, It seems like a different solution is somewhat blocked by 1) the size/shape of the room, 2) the door and window positions as well as 3) the type and size of the furniture... (sorry I know this is obvious). Something has to give... Could you give the exact room size and confirmation of doors or passages? (door to the right? arched passage to the left of the piano?) Is the furniture that you have included actual or new? What are their footprints? How is the bay window done? full height floor to ceiling? starts at bench height? How is the window exposed? East, West, North or South? How high is the fireplace and is it's angled wall also full height? Most upright pianos are around 1m30 (or à little more than 4 feet). Putting a TV above it can be an option, but perhaps a little uncomfortable, not to add that visually it will be an odd addition unless you take the "fake painting" version (ex Samsung "The Frame"). thanks in advance, Lynn...
