That one transitional piece that must be perfect.
Commentaires (0)I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you....

Commentaires (7)Hello, F&B Black Blue is gorgeous for the staircase and I personnally would'paint the whole wall (including above the chimney) in a nice F&b yellow'colour, such as Yellow ground or Dayroom Yellow. I'm sure this combination of colours'will just be stunning. However I would recommend that you test the colours before choosing one (on reasonnably big surface,i.e. 1sq. meter) because once applied on a surface the colour might look very different than what we expected. F&B sells samples for 8€ and I really think this is worth it. I' telling'you this because I experimented it in my house. I was convinced one colour was THE one and still tested another one aswell by precaution and, once applied on the wall, the second one was an evidence. Good luck and pls keep us up to date. Looking forward to see the picture.... Voir plusCouleur peinture et sol cuisine
Commentaires (5)Bonjour! Is your ceiling unique to the kitchen or continues for another room? You can use the ceiling to add color If just the kitchen. A medium intensity color would warm up the space without making somber. You can also choose a wall as an accent, keeping the rest very pale. Tones of yellow would be nice. See the Benjamin color trends for 2016. A lot of whites accentuated with colors. One room has yellow, but you don't have to go so intense. Also see on houzz "clored" ceilings. You can also use our window frames to add contrast painting them a darker shade of gray or charcoal. It gives character, definition and class Sorry i dont have photos to demontrate at the moment (problem with iphone:( but you can always find on houzz) :) Hope this helps!...

il y a 3 ansMary Mary I think your idea sounds lovely, especially with the views you have.
I've seen concrete gravel boards used on a gardening programme, maybe Charlie Dimmock. It looked very contemporary and smart.
I've been saving these two photos as inspiration for part of my new garden, in particular the narrow space with staggered paving and lots of planting which I'm going to do on one side of the house which is a bit of a sun trap. I'm going to use lots of Rosemary, Lavender and Bronze Fennel.
Good luck, sounds exciting.

il y a 3 ansHi Mary, I saw these stone/concrete railway sleepers used as a path in a Houzz story and wondered if they may be of interest? Not sure of the cost though.

il y a 3 ansHi Mary. I think it’s a great idea to use gravel boards. With them being concrete they might need sealing?......not sure on that so maybe worth looking up. Personally I would keep the gaps in between to a minimum and use a resin or mortar grout/jointing or as mentioned setting the gravel in cement/resin stuff. Trust me getting weeds out of small gaps filled with gravel is no easy task. But if you leave fairly big gaps then groundcover plants sounds like a fab idea.
You’re doing a grand job of your garden, looks like a mammoth task. I’m going really slowly taking my old paving up mainly because I’m re using stuff what I already have (messy progress so far in pic, excuse dog, he was giving me a shifty look🤔.) I’m leaving the centre circle hence my warning on the gaps. Took me at least two hours to rake out, de-gravel and weed. Cement is going in next!
Love your neighbours! 🐄 I grew up next to a field with cows and used to feed them the grass off the verge, their tongues are huge! 😂.

il y a 3 ansMany thanks Rachelmidlands for your encouragement, much appreciated.
I like your idea about the resin will have a think about it. We started our garden just before lockdown and finally got a skip last week to clear all the rubble and excess soil away. We have dug out the soil at the bottom to make a terrace as we are on quite a slope,I’ve added a few pics to show our very slow progress. Must say the cows seem to like watching us working one in particular watches everything we do.
