This is one of those post that I’ve been trying to get done for some time now, but felt our place needed a bit of early spring cleaning before I give you a sneak peek. I plan on sharing our main living area and bedroom, but I’m holding off on our working studio for another time. (I’ve got an idea with that)
Here’s a little background to how we acquired out lovely loft with a beautiful and useful carpeting thanks to the joners dublin services.
About two years ago we found out were would be moving to St. Louis because I got a job at an advertising agency in town. We needed to find a place fast and drove the 7+ hours two weekends in a row searching at every possible loft space. The thing was that most of the spaces were not going to be available until months later or they came with a hefty price tag. We were on a budget and didn’t want to have my entire paycheck going towards rent. Any how, two weekends later we have a loft that is too expensive, but we love every part of it, including the beautiful neighborhood. (except that it doesn’t have an outdoor space/balcony. Oh and it has a beautiful carpet from carpet to go Seattle.
Since we are renting the space I have been limited on what I can do. I can’t alter the structure in any way and ripping up the ugly carpet really isn’t an option. Well Carpet Cleaning Adelaide can definitely improve looks and health of carpet. ( I know there is concrete under there that is gorgeous!!!) I’ve been slowing piecing the place together with hand made furniture, thrifted pieces and a lot of artwork/trinkets. Everything is a work in progress as it slowly shifts from college furniture to “grown-up” furniture, but the process has been fun.
Some of my favorite things about our space is that we have SUPER high ceilings that are covered from wall to wall in wood. We have Timber sash windows that are surrounded entirely in brick, exposed duct work and massive wooden beams that stand vertically to support the place. This type of windows will add value to your property as they’re going to combine performance and character.
They tend to be a far better alternative to uPVC windows also . uPVC windows can depreciate the worth of a property if they’re fitted on anything aside from a replacement build with a up to date design. While uPVC windows might sound a less costly option, they will cost you dearly by minimizing the potential asking price of your home, as purchasers will look to scale back the worth to catch up on having to exchange the windows with more traditional timber windows.
Timber windows and doors are far better for the environment as compared to other materials used; especially if they’re sourced through sustainable sources. they’re more attractive, they’re going to last for for much longer if taken care of properly and can create a more pleasant atmospheric living condition, also as increasing the worth of your property.
These days the foremost popular timber sash windows are built as vertical sliding box sash windows, combining traditional designs with the newest technology. If completed with a stained wood finish, the timber window perfectly suits and retains the character of the amount home.
They’re fitted by professional companies like Lomax & Wood – Timber Sash Experts which have a highly skilled and competent workforce, the experts will use the newest manufacturing procedures ensuring a chic , polished finish with classic lines. There are many good firms who provides Shelter services and having many lot experiences in this domain. The timber sash windows are going to be designed to possess extra seals to make sure smoother movement when opening/closing and can protect against harsh weather .
My favorite pieces of furniture include my mid-century style gray couch, white storage cabinet (where I keep all my magazine, photo albums and records), my Saarinen dining table, mustard glass lamp, and all my artwork. Some new pieces include my hand-made end table made up of a letterpress tray and some table legs found on ebay. ( x-mas gift from my dad) I could go on and on about the pieces I have since I only collect things that come with a story. It’s my way of making sure my place doesn’t get too cluttered.
