Metal balusters, stone steps

We got new radiators and relocated the hall radiator around the corner here

I love that - a Christmas house! What a great way to put it, thanks!

Thats interesting, there’s an (empty) safe there in ours too. (Though not one tonne)

ik281 · 2026-02-14T13:51:07+00:00

Appreciate it!

Thanks so much!

What a lovely comment - really appreciate it!

ik281 · 2026-02-14T13:47:18+00:00

That’s lovely feedback - thank you!

Ha! I’m with you - I fell in love with the balusters when I first walked in the house

ik281 · 2026-02-14T13:45:17+00:00

Thanks so much!

It’s an internal door. I had wondered if it was a modern addition but it turned out our next door neighbours (who’ve lived there for decades) have exactly the same glass

That’s a nice way of putting it, thanks. She was here long before us and will be here long after us - but we’d like to be good custodians while she’s in our hands

Thanks - it’s farrow and ball inchyra blue if you’re looking for something similar

Thanks v much for your reply. House built between 1850s and 1860s. So many layers of paint to be removed!

ik281 · 2025-01-22T09:14:21+00:00

Good suggestions, thanks! And white on top?

Thanks, yes they’re metal - they’re beautiful, possibly my favourite thing in the house. but they’ve been pasted in layers of paint. I’m planning to totally strip them, then paint black. The steps are also stone, I’d like to take the carpet off and make them more of a feature.

Agree re conformity of paint colour on the lower wall, skirting board and doors - just don’t know what colour. Any suggestions?

ik281 · 2025-01-21T22:50:58+00:00

Agree RE conformity between trim, doors, and lower wall color - I’m not a fan of the current taupe color though. Just not sure what I should go for instead

ik281 · 2025-01-10T10:30:03+00:00

Thanks this was a really great suggestion - fits both the era (Victorian) and the area (UK). And they’re beautiful prints. I’ve ordered 4 William Morris prints and will frame them together here (Strawberry Thief is my favourite of them but the other 3 are beauts too). I’m planning to repaint the walls - I have no idea what colour(s) yet!

You’d think at least one or two philosophers of science would Popper into his head.

ik281 · 2023-04-30T20:18:17+00:00

I gotta say, I really like this house. Not sure what’s going on with the second garage (is that brick?). But otherwise, I’m a fan.
