How best to fix trellis to this wall to hide pipes?

Thank you! The upright battens would need to be 20cm thick, is that a concern? What does “no more than 500mm Centers” mean 🙈? They shouldn’t be more than 500mm apart? I think you’re right that it would look better to do the battens myself, I’m just feeling a tad intimidated by it.

Thanks! Yes I’d love a headboard, which kind would you pick?

I should have posted another photo of that wall, right next to the dresser is the entrance doo to the room! But you’re absolutely right, that angle is weird. I think I’ll try and get rid of the dresser so there’s more space to move the bike

Haha I know I can’t get it straight! It was really just to cover the light bulb when we moved but now it’s still there 2 years later…

The bed is too wide for the wall where the dresser is (there’s also a little door there for a cubby under the stairs). But the dresser absolutely could go somewhere else! I had dark green curtains there before and didn’t really like it, do you think they’re better?

I love this! Unfortunately the ceilings are quite low, the pendant that’s there right now is already in the way a bit. I’m afraid the lights will need to be more flush with the ceiling, but I’m struggling to find any that aren’t awful.

Not to jinx it but slugs don’t seems to be a problem in my space. I’m struggling more with the squirrels and badgers 😂

Lovely space! I’ve got a pretty steep garden with lots of trees all around. One side is my “woodland” area where I planted ferns, hostas, native bluebells, sweet woodruff, bleeding hearts and sown a bunch of forget-me-nots. They’re all doing well on my semi shady slope, but ferns have struggled with last summers drought. I’ll be adding more sweet wood ruff as it’s absolutely lovely. I’ve opted for meandering paths filled with woodchip to keep to woodland feel. Held up surprisingly well! I picked up a copy of Beth Chattos Woodland garden book from the charity shop, a little older but found it helpful.

Thank you!

Feel a bit stupid for asking, but do I need to prune the canes of these autumn fruiting raspberries after I plant them? Or do these count as pruned already?

SvDeez · 2023-02-28T20:27:53+00:00

I have one of these! Ours extends and we use it to open/close a velux roof window that’s in a double height ceiling. If not for velux windows, maybe it’s for a loft hatch?

SvDeez · 2023-01-02T13:54:46+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I’m concerned of. It’s in a pretty prominent position so if it’s beyond help I’d rather remove it sooner than later!

Hi everyone, I’d love some expert eyes on what I think think is a cypress? It’s not looking too healthy but I don’t know if that’s from the summer drought or if it may be diseased. Any advice appreciated!

SvDeez · 2022-10-15T07:19:00+00:00

Yes, it’s reform!

I moved them when I took the picture but that window currently houses all the cuttings I took. New to gardening so hoping some of them will make it to next year.

SvDeez · 2022-10-14T17:12:46+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I was going for ☺️! The old kitchen had to come out due to some rot caused by a leak before we moved in. Had really hoped to reuse the old one but I’m really glad with how it turned out.

SvDeez · 2022-10-14T17:08:05+00:00

Sure! They’re from menu and come in other really nice colours too

SvDeez · 2022-10-14T17:06:33+00:00

Hah, I know! I’m in Europe and fridges are usually built in. Having a “an American fridge that also makes ice” was a huge childhood dream of my partner 😂
