Your Home Made Perfect

[Brillig]

Apologies if there's already a thread, but I couldn't see one. Anyone watching? Apparently this is a new series.

I'm waiting for the bench seats to make their inevitable appearance......

The whole thing doesn’t seem to make sense. If you look at the downstairs there don’t seem to be any actual bedrooms.

"How can one big room possibly be practical for families when you have one person doing homework quietly, one person cooking, one person watching tv and another doing music practice??"

An open plan kitchen/diner with space for a play zone is ideal when you have young kids because you can keep them occupied and keep an eye on them while cooking and clearing up in the kitchen.

Separate rooms are useful when the kids get older and need separate spaces for homework and other different activities.

So their plan, which had a large open plan kitchen/diner plus separate reception rooms that could be kept open or closed, was versatile and IMO perfect.

Ladyeloise yes perfect for families but in my opinion just your standard extension that you see everywhere, very nice but ultimately a bit generic, good for resale it will appeal to a lot of people.

I really liked Laura’s design this week, lovely family home.

@Strawberrypancakes it is on home or HGTV as it is now called. It is on at the same time as Your Home Made Perfect. Which is a bit of a pain if you don't have recording facilities or iPlayer.

@FlamingoAndJohn I also wondered about the wall upstairs. They never mentioned best it was. As for downstairs they were just two big living rooms. I would not want to sleep in those rooms.

Im not a fan of open plan. I like kitchen/diners with a separate living room. Laura's design for downstairs worked well but the biggest change was upstairs. The new bedrooms worked much better than the old layout.

Any one else here?
I'm calling Bench seating at 8.14pm

Yep, present and correct, Bruce

A bold move with an early bench seating call there

Stop wittering... Ive only got 10 minutes til Benchgate

Ouch....small budget. Here comes the Benchmeister.....

Robert is going to brick up the windows and stick a downstairs bathroom in there...

I've called it far too soon. They wont get the bench seats in before half eight at this rate

Bruce

You can see Robert trying to work out where his benches ate going to go.

Will the ubiquitous bench seats be brown? Probably.

Final spend? At least 30 thou

I love that it's a different issue this week. And kinda of pointless levels taking on board the lady needs a flat surface is a miracle.

*King of not kinda

Can't imagine anything much for £15k...

Looks like a bird hide!

And there it is.

Who called the bench seats?

YaYYYYY!

Concrete bench seats, sound so uncomfy.
And it looks so dark.
