Comments (17)louvres are expensive ..our remote controlled one for our roof costed us 16-18K as had to go through council for permits..it also depends on how big the space is to be installed..this was done a few years back so prices might have gone up..considering our sliding sunroof was 26K we got a bargain with that..as louvres are not water tight.....See MoreHow should I approach my 1950s bathroom reno?
Comments (16)Don't wish to upset anyone but the last two years of my father's life it was discovered besides and really bad aortic heart valve problem he also has asbestosis and his breathing was shocking, even on oxygen near the end he still struggled so badly it was horrible for him and just as bad for me to witness it so PLEASE everyone I agree 100% no room for error as the symptom don't show for years after exposure, whatever you decide make it on the SAFE side and don't mess about with your health, my dad was a strong sporty man his whole life and to see him end up like this was heartbreaking, if you can't afford it now find a safe paint and save money until it can be removed ASAP, I think right now get a few quotes too see what you are up for then decided what way forward after removal, good luck and take care...See MoreHow should I style my entryway?
Comments (17)Like others have said, the space looks incredibly bland at the moment. Everything - floors, walls, ceiling, blinds - are all the same colour. If you look at the inspiration pics, there is contrast. The great thing about it is it is truly a blank canvas and you can choose how and where to introduce the contrast to add interest, whether it be rug, wallpaper, art, hall table, plants or whatever. Just one word of caution - I have seen others that have started off with a 'blank canvas' then going on and adding far too many different elements and bits and pieces and it just ends up looking busy and disconnected....See MoreHow should I light my very high cathedral ceiling?
Comments (18)I'd make sure I had probably 3 'zones' or options . It is just crying out for a big industrial style centrepiece on 3 or 4 heavy chains , maybe even with 15 or 20 candles . Just as I'm writing this , I'm even wondering how difficult it would be to get 15 shorter stubbier candles and drill out the middles , and thread a cheap 12 volt LED through each one ? The local electrical supplier charges something like $12 for 10 -- you'd have to wire them , but its low voltage so a soldering iron and heatshrink tubing would do wonders . look way more authentic than those cheesy ones with flickering 240 volt bulbs and fake melted wax on shiny plastic bases ! Anyway , that would be my centrepiece , even if you had to use a transformer etc -- drop it to the ceiling line height . Then I'd do a seperate zone -- probably single LED spotlights ( prob in black ) . at least one each beam , some pointing up , some across to the other 'slope' , but also some pointing downwards , because you'll need to look for dropped coins or handkerchiefs or phone chargers every now and then haha . And the 3rd zone would be wall uplights and downlights , because I can almost guarantee there will be times you want light , but you don't want or need to emphasis the height . If its not too late , I'd have them maybe 1.5mtrs from the floor , and the covers in an aged copper or similar panels , and that would match the style of the centrepiece light too . I'd have the spotlights a completely seperate style though -- more modern and plainer , but not ultra-modern , if that makes sense ....See Morek4thleen
