Need help with stone wall

We are in the middle of a new build and renovation project and I need some advice on how to treat this stone wall. It was originally the back wall of the cottage and had plaster and tyrolean on it which we have now removed. Should we sandblast it or will a light acid and power wash suffice? The stone is limestone and has some slate also which is quire delivate. As the two openings were originally windows and will now be doorways we are considering a sand and cement border around the openings and perhaps removing the red brick altogether and replace with more limestone.

Need help for my entrance hall wall!
Comments (16)A niche would be a good way to add some drama without infringing on your circulation space. It doesn't have to be deep to be effective. You can do one simple vertical rectangle, and line the back with a mirror, or add some colour with paint, wallcovering or wood. It would be great if you could also add a recessed light fixture at the top. The attached images are perhaps too busy for your situation, but it gives you a good idea of what can be done. Good luck!...See MoreNeed help please with this wall in living room

Comments (0)Hello, The masterbedroom in our new build will have a slanted wall (dont ask why...our architects notions!) I need your help to design the inside around this ‘problem’ and turn it into something nice. The only place the bed will fit comfortably is against this slanted wall. See below 'bedroom drawing' . We are considering a stub wall to make it even/straight again. Has anyone any ideas /pictures on how this could look? See the second picture ‘bedroom wall proposal’ which is something we sketched that might explain it better. Thanks very much. bedroom drawing see the slanted wall at the bottom of the picture.

5 years agoWell we live in a flat on the 4th floor in Edinburgh city. So we loved the thought of being able to expose the original stone walls of the flat. You can see from the pictures that we had it done for the kitchen and lounge. Since everything of ours are modern, the stone wall really brings an edge to the design. And in the lounge, we painted it the Farrow & Ball Downpipe which we think really sets it off next to the stone. Especially with the mouldings on the window, the lounge has become quite a grand looking space even without any furnishings. And we didn't even get to varnish the walls as we liked the way it looked now. There doesn't seem to be any problems with the dust coming off the walls.
