My birthday is just round the corner and all the mail-order guys rush to send me special birthday offers. Or shall I say, “special” birthday offers? (more…)

Specifically I am looking for a small(ish) storage unit to go in that awkward space at the side of the house. Anybody who ever had an end-of-terrace property would know what I am talking about - too narrow to put anything substantial, yet too wide to waste with the space such a premium and all.

At first there seems to be plenty of choice on the market. Firstly, various plastic and metal storage units. I am told by The Boss to dismiss all of those straightaway. I have to agree they do look pretty hideous. And I doubt they would be very good for the planet. I love the idea of sliding doors on the metal ones but it is not enough to make up for the material. We’ll be old-fashioned and go with wood. (more…)

I like having a view but it compromises my privacy. Do I have to choose between the two?

It had a glass top like a triange with rounded corners and a base made out of two interlocking wooden pieces. I love it, but the price tag was outrageous - nearly ??1000 on sale. Can I get something similar for less?

I don’t want any usual “feature” cabinets and bookcases - I just want large floor-to ceiling doors to cover all the junk. I have a modest budget and I want something fast. Where can I get it?

It is too big for a regular door and too small for a double doors. And I am not sure I want the doors anyway - I like the flow. However, I am starting a B&B and would like to have an option of having a screen between the two rooms occasionally. What other options can I have?
