Love the blue carpet. It's such a nice colour and you rarely see blue carpet!

You are so right white is never out of fashion. I would set your budget and then look at your options. If you plan to stay in the house for many years then spend to the top of your budget (if that is going to give you a life time of pleasure), if you plan on being at the home for only a short time / few years then I would go mid range so it looks lovely, will have good resale value but you can invest your well earned money to go towards something else as well. Obviously Marble / Granite is the top of the range but there are so many cheaper and very attractive options these days that look just as good.

Hello there, Have recently moved into a house with new curtains that dont match our furniture... I have heard of attaching lining and doing a double track but is it unusual to sew a linen fabric on top of a single pleat? Would appreciate your thoughts or ideas on material that would likely work. Thanks :)

Hi all!! My parents and I are in a dilemma for what materials should we use for the cupboards in Kitchen. We're being advised for Waterproof Plywood, PVC Boards and some other options. We've already placed a concrete shelf. Can you please help me decide what material is codt effective and durable. It's a small house and we've a very limited budget. Location - Punjab, India.
