How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

If you use cork in that bathroom you have to give back the radiator.

also you'll upset user bq

Do some drawings (or get someone to) internal elevations +plan are sufficient - really helps plan stuff out and juggle finishes (what tiles , where etc). If that person is also qualified in interiors/ architecture they might bring additional aesthetic ideas help with products finishes etc. - then work with a plumber /builder . This is a service specialist bathroom peeps might offer in house in the way that kitchen sheds do. Dunno. Alternatively - make a Pinterest - order some samples you fancy and a tape measure and stand in the room with a sharpie and draw on the walls to figure it all out. Advantage of having a base drawing - however simple - is that you can start costing m2 areas for expensive things like terrazo /cork /marble/ drawing on walls is well fun tho 😜

Bonus

Tiles, A (half tile at bath) or B (half tile at shelf).

B right?

Home.by.me is a good online room planner, simple to use and will help give you as rough idea.

move the mirror up

lol I think B too

Sorry, thetas window, so sadly can't move it...

can't

disappointingly unambitious.

This

be somebody

Oh god don't... you'll get me thinking.
Although I feel I have already decided cost/value proposition isn't in "new windows" favour.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

Wheels are beginning to turn on buying a new place. It's larger than the last place and the floor plan doesn't make any sense so it's going to need some smashy smashy and a bit of addy addy. I've done a pretty comprehensive ~scale drawing first pass in Illustrator to reassure myself that we're not making a huge mistake in terms of potential, but the more I look at it the more I think (well, know) we're making a huge mistake in terms of budget. Ah well, love a bit of adventure and a decade of living in squalor followed by a decade of poverty.

I second home.by.me - we used it to design the kitchen and bathroom and it really helped.

The only thing I noticed was that the 3d view made everything feel pretty small, when in reality it feels spacious.

For example, in the kitchen we have 1m clear around the island in all directions. In home.by.me that didn't seem much but IRL it's loads of space

You've got a boxing across under the window no ? Oak top ? If so - B and skip the cut tile and oak fills most of the gap. If not and you're doing a fully tiled 60's soviet thing I would do A and cut tile at the bath - less obtrusive IMO.

OHHH good thinking with the oak shelf, which yep, I am doing! Thanks as ever!

All good.

Notes from the field today...1930s back ext. - client kitchen design using one of these apps ^ - tweaked by me to work with their desires and the pitched roof - Hague Bluez and Oak herringbone - zooming tomorrow. Not what I'd do prolly but looks okay ish I think.

Also think I've finally made some prog trying to arrange / furnish our 1960's lounge / dining combined - which is a fucker because the kitchen is tiny so everything happens in one room, the sofas face the dining and all the kids shit is all over the place all the tine. OH wants 'colour popz' not just white / grey (yawn). Green metal garden thing from Ikea for the crafts and school supplies - massive mirror to fill the wall - shelf / mantle thing to "display" tat. Flensted because our first date was a Calder exhib and Im soppy fucker.

Hive thoughts ? Lighting undecided - over dining table or as shown over piano ? Thats a Habitat Kura at the mo - need a small fitting/shade i think.

Lighting over the table, narrow angle-able floor lamp alongside the piano would be choice (I would say lamp on top but the books scupper that). I quite like playing in a gloomy room but still need to see the notes because nothing sticks in my brain any more.

You really need to work on your posture.

Big things changing at Habitat so buy now or you may find the product gone.

Id go over the table, I’m also a fan of wall mounted. Going to fit a Marseille lamp in somewhere somehow.

Obvs the loft ...

Yep - good one - can work in a light on or in the shelf - or just next to the piano.

I’ve had a word - the guy says.... - Slouch 4 Eva bro - living my best life -untucked Uniqlo Oxford shirt is my religion - Zero fucks given - you do you babe. Live laugh lufguss . End quote

Yep - Kura is onboard already. Too skint for spensive lighting - would also bang Potence, Poulsen, Artemide tolomeo - something by hand eye studio.

Now having - dangerous thoughts about a sort of home brew mini oak I beam with led strips top and bottom.

One on either side of the bed please.
