Owning your own home

I really like glass bricks.

Sexeh mid-century furniture

my current ebay watch-list.

This rosewood ladderax is amazing, rosewood not teak!

I have a couple of these in my dinning room

We are moving to a new house with higher ceilings...anyone know if you can just buy the pendant as i had to cut the cables for the current fitting.

Your next door neighbours would be able to see you having sex in the kitchen.

@Fox has some beautiful Ladderax furniture.

prefer string tbh - find the ladderax supports a bit heavy visually.

Do you mean actual string or is that a brand?

Ours aren't actually Ladderax, but Ladderax style ones made by Brianco in the early 70s which are a little less heavy visually. Just like these (but these aren't actually ours):

Sweet Jesus - these are lovely!

@chrisbmx116 - your exceptional taste knows no bounds. That's exactly what I am looking for, REP. Have you used him before?

@mands @tenderloin I'm a fan first, dealer second. I run a contract furniture business.

Ladderex is superb. Check out String (via SCP too).

@fox beat me!

Vitsoe 606 by Dieter Rams if your into modernism.

@Fahrgestell knows what's up with the string. It's either string (judging by the cabinet) or very similar in your pic too.

I would have gone for vitsoe 606 here but it's the tiniest smidge too wide for intended area :(

You'll like this site then :)

That'd be the point

I like that

Tom, yours looks really good! Esp the matchy sides! I think you've done a phenomenal job!

Whilst the furniture is impressive, the fact that you own a book by James Martin is not.

Nothing wrong with it, it's just taste innit*. I'm just surprised how popular it seems to be.
I don't find it very homely, personally. Like there's not enough to hold. But it works with "feature" furniture and stuff. I've got cheap tat furniture and loads of clutter so I like a lot of colour on the walls, and I like things like window frames and architraves.

(* unless it's frameless glass balustrades with no handrail... those are just wrong)

I've been stalking those as well!

Ladderax and Vitsoe are lush.

Ha, your too kind... Uncommon projects also look decent. I haven't used either I'm afraid so can't be of much more help. And unto this last will do custom stuff.

more pics? looks awesome! Whats the orange thing?

unto this last

speaking of which, anyone in the market for double wardrobe in walnut?

sorry for derailing, this should be in interiors....>>>

@chrisbmx116 @Fahrgestell - we spoke to Matt Antrobus about our new kitchen. In the end we got the joiner whose done work on the rest of our extension to do something (ahem) 'similar' as we needed it to be in line with the existing original 60's parts of the kitchen.

I haven't got a decent pic but will see if I can grab a quick phone one of where it is for now.

(Will also be having string shelving elsewhere, natch)

-10,000 forum points for defiling your nice shelves with a James Martin cook book.

Could be actually... Depending on price and logistics. What we talking? I'll pm..
