Any ideas for final touches to this living/dinning room?
Comments (51)Just a quick note to thank you all for sharing your thought, ideas, experience and time. I especially want to thank Bluenan and decoenthusiaste for being with me through the all process for the last 6 months or so..., just wanted to post few photos of the results (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/any-ideas-for-final-touches-to-this-living-dinning-room-dsvw-vd~569586) as I feel it is not only me who created this space but it is your creations as much as mine. It may not be perfect or according to the the "Rules", but it is Me and my family. Each and every piece was chosen by me in different parts of the world and each one of them has a unique story behind. I am very pleased with my space. I love it! I am very blessed. .... and so I am off to my new project now... Back to school.... that's really going to be hard ;) Thank you all, once again....See MoreNeed help on kitchen floor tiles
Comments (33)Hi catbox/emerald18 - your kitchen is absolutely stunning - I love it - mostly because your style is the same as mine - only the tiles I've chosen are Henley Cool from Topps Tiles (sage green/blue). I've also had a few moments of indecision but I've had a picture and sample of the tiles pinned up for months and I still love them. I'd chosen matt slab style kitchen door fronts but I might be convinced by your photo to change to Shaker. I am also going for the wood worktop but can't decide whether to have a Belfast sink or not. What sink did you choose? I also can't decide on a splashback, but like white painted brick + something more cleanable by the sink and hob. Once again, I love love love your kitchen - I'm pinning the photo of it up with my tiles picture in case I get future wobbles about my dream kitchen...See MoreLiving Room Lacking
Comments (11)i also wouldnt be too happy with this design, ist very boring, all Brown and tan... so. get some nice blues and teals for throws and cushions, maybe with bit of yellow in it a round or oval coffee glass table would work much better here and reflect more light, adding teal accents - vases, and Greens- artificial plants etc. rugs - some ideas - , get colourful deco accents on your fireplace mantel as well, no more tan ;) i love your clock, but i dont think this is the best place for it, i think a big nice artwork with some Pop would work much better here - clock could go to Foyer, staircase wall etc. artwork - good luck, hope that helped a bit....See MoreMy Before and After picture for my garden
Comments (95)It makes me cross that people think they have a right to make some quite negative comments on this post. Masmccar76 put these photos on because she thought people would like to see a genuinely lovely transformation of her garden. Instead there have been some downright nasty comments. By all means make comments but keep them constructive. Houzz is all about is sharing ideas, not about being nasty...See More

4 years agoMy petunias are looking fab - inspired by another post on here (thanks Forzaitalia!) They also smell lovely in the early morning & evening - not something I’ve noticed with Petunias before. Also pleased with my hydrangea Annabelle. I bought three as 3 inch high plants in spring last year & they’re flowering beautifully for the first time now. Finally, I’m really pleased with the way my deep border is filling out & starting to flower. All planted new at the end of last summer & this spring so it’s early days but doing well.

4 years agoBanana Custard!!! No seriously....that’s what it’s called verbascum ‘banana custard’ :-) At 6ft tall it’s a bit of a whopper and an absolute joy to see as I gave up hope after I planted it then realized it’s a biennial so I’ve been waiting two years for it. The giant leaves in front are Tetrapanax papyrifer ‘rex’ or Chinese rice paper plant, another one my faves:)

Anyone know what the name for this plant is? When it first started growing I thought it was some kind of cabbage.It seems irresistible to bees et al.

4 years agoReally enjoying seeing everyone's gorgeous garden pics. Thought I'd share some parts of my garden too, in its current state :-) first ones are of a small patio that I call 'the salad bar'. Lots of different leaf salads, cherry tomatoes, courgettes in pots. And some flowers.

We have these lilies in the bedroom, but for some reason they’re not half as fragrant as our garden ones...

4 years agoI have to say my whole garden is finally looking good at the moment!
We had to have a trench dug across it last year for the new drains for the kitchen, plus we've had trees taken down, new patios laid, beds made and a whole bed of ground elder laid fallow and covered for over a year.
Consequently, since Easter, we have been "doing" the garden - well I say we, it's actually the OH doing all the grunt work, digging, planting and re-planting (oops), with me in a purely managerial capacity and doing a bit of dead heading.
This is what it was like in 2017
And last year

4 years agoLooking good Ribena love how you have given so much of your garden over to beds. :-) On my side after a week away I've come back to a storm beaten garden :-( and though I love giving my flowers a long happy life in my beds. I've had to bring some of my fallen blooms inside.
