concertina door


just bookmarking for future reference. for the laundry cupboard, if the door does get moved from the hall to the bathroom. which is a big if. should this part of the project go ahead, we will need to find a door solution which won't interfere with the bathroom door. it was suggested that rather than a standard door, something like a concertina might be used. i have never, ever, ever liked the look of them. i like the idea of a plastic thing in our swanky new bathroom even less. but i want to keep an open mind, for the time being.

this one looks interesting as it is, apparently, wood-effect. but, it is argos (cheap-o), and it's only £19.99

the "before" kitchen



oh, how am i savouring the moment when i can kiss this yucky green goodbye! posting this "before" (even though it is still "now", sadly, but hopefully not for long!) picture 'cos i want to remember all its inglorious past. 14 years of green-ness. never to be forgotten.

balcony ideas/hack from ikea hacker

A really cool idea (read full post):

bouquets of bloom
Chelsea pairs an old farm window with ikea for a bit of country.

She says, "so, i have a bunch of old farm house windows (from a friend's family farm), and had yet to put them to use, but had lots of ideas fluttering through my head. today i finally used one of the windows. it was super simple. i used a kroken kitchen rail, and 3 kroken cutlery caddies [...]".
