Architecture and interior design thread

Yep we’re already planning the next buy for the front room a day in..I wouldn’t like to think it took away from joinery or the like, there’s always hopefully need for that. Fun times filling it up with boxes of stuff we haven’t seen for 2 years since moving

Snowball is a boss!

Love mine. I have quite a few of those Vitra toolboxes too. I'm holding off planning the rest of the flat but it's inevitable.

I was looking at that photo for a while before I spotted the cat :)

Kitty looks pretty good for being in storage for a couple of years, a Boss indeed.

How’s the Hay lounge chair? Tempted by one over a Palissade...

@jaw @withered_preacher yeah Otto is a boss, master of the house.

@Airhead Once you start..draw the line at people using them as an open wardrobe though

The chair on the right? That’s a Kazuide Takahama for Simon Gavina. It’s from the seventies. The table and bench are Hay and love them.

stools are interesting

here, saved you 200€ ; )

They're lovely, and not doing anything to sate my desire for them. I'm always jealous of people who manage to use shelves for display, instead of just using them to store the ever-expanding piles of books...

yeah, my vitsoe lust is rising. maybe I can get one run of it in an alcove for my home office. feels like slippery slope stuff that, though

They are old wrong for Hay ones. Lucked in and got three for £13 on eBay-office clearance seller

Maybe is a yes. No doubt they are expensive for what they are but v happy with them and already sliding down that slope

no thanks. where is that aalto.gif when you need it

thanks

next job in my house is to standardise all the door handles and light/electric fittings. thinking hoppe paris for the handles and LS 990 for the electrics. have had a look at the latter a couple of times and always end up confused about what I need to buy. the joys of renovating

liking hoppe paris, it would go well with my Vola taps !

next job in my house is to standardise all the door handles and light/electric fittings

wonderful. I think most can only dream of getting that far down the list!

been a long journey to get here. here's what we have done in the two years since living here:

• re-plastered three bedrooms upstairs
  
• sanded and varnished boards upstairs
  
• new master bathroom
  
• new boiler
  
• added 20 sqm extension and reconfigured full back of the house (including dropping floors down one level to connect back of house with the garden)
  
• new electrics downstairs including consumer unit
  
• new rear decking
  
• new back garden fence and gate
  
• converted old scullery kitchen to cloakroom/downstairs toilet
  
• new kitchen
  
• decorated downstairs hall (including tiling), cloakroom and new mass
  
• treated downstairs boards for woodworm and replaced joists where required
  
• installed wood burner
  
  

old living room (now adults' room) currently being replastered. once it has a new floor done and is redecorated, that's basically the last of the internal work (let's not talk about the loft or the basement). and don't ask me about the gardens either. thankfully the roof was fairly new (the only part of the property that had been upgraded in 25/30 years)

That’s a hell of a lot of work!

That’s a hell of a lot of work... pain... dust... money!

Matching handles and light switches is a dream.
We live in a flat with 3 beautiful massive paneled doors with brass handles.
And 2 cardboard doors with the cheapest handles ever.
Guess which ones are the doors we actually use eg bedroom and bathroom?
But then we could never afford this flat if the landlady was into expensive stuff, so I just spend to much time thinking of improvement that will never happen.

And a cat flap in a wall is good work!

Cat flap bragging... mines in a wall and goes into and out of a built in bench... (it's behind the chair).

Is this a porch light for the cat's cat flap?
