Design Perkara Solved - Timber Flooring

The kasus to be solved is this: At the junction of the Lounge and Study the timber flooring stops and starts again, the Lounge floor is a couple of milimeters higher and the lines of the two floors don't align. The builders and flooring people were suggesting a brass strip which won't be aesthetically acceptable. <br /> <br /> To solve this kasus I've designed a timber strip with a chamfered edge, the chamfer is to avoid trip hazard <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeR5JPbm5Z9rQkOtTlWmhvfmk9GeN6CksPYTXdfnflI1e4TUB4xxaJ6_yJV0MA5a-SGgAvZOFGnUTc3VOCepLOmKfr0kJ2avDOza9FQ2VFA8270jSTGdqhFbX2HoaN-7UsbGers_b0vVY/s1600/DSC_0089.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeR5JPbm5Z9rQkOtTlWmhvfmk9GeN6CksPYTXdfnflI1e4TUB4xxaJ6_yJV0MA5a-SGgAvZOFGnUTc3VOCepLOmKfr0kJ2avDOza9FQ2VFA8270jSTGdqhFbX2HoaN-7UsbGers_b0vVY/s400/DSC_0089.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Now that it is stained you can hardly notice that the floors don't align.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRyLct045cqGDRS_iLA9xiDJQjin-Tqb8JNQYyD4OleGwN1-Wqsq7C0cISudpGNPZt8OaGQZDFO_mAehMobQ3qssM7c-X0hBM57pjMRLvbg-3arNPxe6iL59BGPxASH6IyzvCWowKkxTw/s1600/DSC_0130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRyLct045cqGDRS_iLA9xiDJQjin-Tqb8JNQYyD4OleGwN1-Wqsq7C0cISudpGNPZt8OaGQZDFO_mAehMobQ3qssM7c-X0hBM57pjMRLvbg-3arNPxe6iL59BGPxASH6IyzvCWowKkxTw/s400/DSC_0130.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Applying the solution again, this time at the hall and bathroom junction, the timber has broken away in bits over time and there is a gap in the floor between the timber and tiles. <br /> <br /> (At this point we are not renovating the bathroom that will be stage two, so the lovely apricot tiles are staying for a while) <br /> <br /> I've also noticed that flooring restorers only seem to offer red or yellow coloured stains but don't you love my chocolaty black stained floor. <br /> <br /> These are example of why it pays to have access to an Interior Designer, say me during construction or renovation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

An Exercise In Lean Green Styling

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Whether styling to sell or stay,  in all projects I allow budget for new accessories and time to work them in because they really do provide the  finishing touch.   In this case I have lime green kitchen bench tops, and unfortunately they are not the cool version you might see in contemporary home design but the 1970s version, so I am using lime green touches in the styling of our meals area to tie it all in. </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
