A cobbled courtyard
I have decided that one day I’d like to own a house with a cobbled courtyard and a big painted timber gate with a little door within it.
That’ll do as carrot for a few years yet.
Useful websites for a London terraced house extension / renovation / conversion
I’m having an epic digital clear-out, and a long list of bookmarks in a folder called ‘House’ needs a new, more permanent (and cleansing) location.
Here it be. :)
- Cobble Stones
- Timber Stains and seals
- Architonic, over-priced but good quality architectural things
- The most wonderful London terraced house conversion
- A mind boggling American site where you can buy house plans of ever imagination. Only works with shit loads of land (and cash).
- Decent looking bedroom furniture from Loaf. I never bought anything.
- Reasonably priced Oak bi-folding doors. I went with aluminium, cheaper, but damn… not as pretty.
- The most wonderful sofa/chair which I still covet.
- Comprehensive yet bland door furniture shop
- The plan for a building they almost stuck in the wildland outside my house. Luckily it didn’t go ahead, so it’s still wild land. :)
- My middle class self still wants some embossed headed writing paper.
- Slim double glazed units to retrofit to existing sash windows.
- The lime mortar I used. They matched it perfectly to the existing mortar.
- Knife sharpening. I keep meaning to do this.

- Delicious cotton sheets.
- Delicious cotton duvet cover. I’m still saving.
- Irish linen £££.
- A possible cheaper bed linen solution.
- London log supplier that I use. Jolly good.
- The most comprehensive plumbing supplies shop. I made very sexy curtain rails from their various components.
- Hipster lightbulbs.
- Various stainless steel worktop suppliers.
- I got slate instead from here, and do not recommend the supplier unless price is your only priority - ONLY.
- These coat hooks are just fun.
- I like these angular prints.
- Fitted cushions - I haven’t used them yet.
