Personally, I would rather not have the space between ceiling and tall units - would take units right up to ceiling. Something just doesn't sit right with me with regard to spacing- in particular the very small space to the left of the hob. Like others I feel there are too many colours and would have had the island in a grey - but I love the colours of the walls. I like the shelf - but not pushed in the corner like that!! One of the first things that caught my eye was the different colours of door and window frames in the house- I would have kept them all the same.... Not going to mention the stools!!!! I love the rounded units and would have opted to have rounded edges on the island to be in keeping, personally. Finally, this all sounds rather picky but we all know it is down to personal taste and overall it looks very nice. THANK YOU for allowing us all to put our two pennith in and our would be designer hats on..... I love these articles and it does give us food for thought!

Depends on where the gold is and in what quantity. If all of your fabrics (bed linens, etc) are gold, maybe change them out to white or white and blue. If you have gold walls and curtains, time to replace? If you dont want to replace, consider a white and blue wallpaper on one wall (thinking of one of the large newer damasks out there, or ikat, perhaps) Throw blue toss pillows on the bed, perhaps a blue throw or area rug. Sometimes just an accent chair in a surprising fabric can bring a new color into the room. Pick that color up in small ways- vase of faux flowers, frames on pictures, I think the addition of white to any color scheme brightens and cuts through any color that seems overly dominant in a room. Good luck!

I am a fourth year quantity surveying student at IT Sligo where I am currently undertaking research for my dissertation. My dissertation title is an investigation into BIM and its integration into the Irish construction industry. I would appreciate if you could spare two minutes to fill out this short questionnaire for my research. The questionnaire is completely anonymous and any response to the questions provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

Hi, I've built the structure of a castle for my daughter and just need 3 sheets of any type of ply / MDF (unpainted/ treated preferably). They'd need to be 8X4 feet or bigger. It's just for the design (not structure) , and will be indoors. I live in the Liberties and have no transport. - most places either don't deliver small quantities, or charging like €50 for delivery. Does anyone either know somewhere / or have 3 sheets and the ability to deliver? I'll be happy to pay a reasonable amount for 2nd hand as well. (new to this forum so hopefully this is ok to post?) Thanks.
