A touch of colour anybody?

An affordable new way to decorate windows and glass doors with the beauty of stained glass has been introduced by Wallpaper For Windows™! The Deco Tint™ collection features a decorator’s palette of 12 stained glass colors that can be arranged and combined to give a new look to existing windows and glass doors.

The picture above shows an example of just one of the options people could choose from. Each panel colour is available either as see through or ‘privacy’ which would be suitable for bedrooms and bathrooms.

The prices range from £14.95 – £99.95 which although could be pricey for some is vastly cheaper and more cost reductive than actual stained glass.

The panels can be used on glass doors, shower enclosures, cabinet doors or even glass tables for that extra spark. Each panel offers key UV protection from direct sunlight and offers everybody the opportunity to be a little bit creative. Another great feature is how easy Deco Tints are to measure, trim to size and apply; which requires only water and the included squeegee. The tint films are adhesive-free, so they can be removed and reapplied if needed.

Metal Garden Sheds from Asgards

I have decided that in order to fully call myself a ‘green person’ I must move my sustainability projects in to my garden. The first thing I realized when I stepped through my back door was my broken down wooden shed. Ahhh I thought as I walked up to it ‘this has to go’ – and over the next 2 hours I dismantled the sp

ider-ridden behemoth and took it to my local skip.

I was utterly exhausted after this, and so decided to just head on home and take a look on the internet for some sheds. This is when I found a fantastic surprise – Metal Sheds .

Metal is far better for the environment than the use of wood as it lasts a good 5 years longer and increases the overall safety of you garden possessions. It also reduces the demand on the timber industry and so actively promotes sustainability.

As this home improvement blog is all about helping you make the right choice during a project I just feel the need to share with you the very affordable prices from Asgards.

All products come with a 10 year guarantee and each and every one of them will be delivered to your door. I have just bought my Metal Garden Shed and so can finally call myself green!

Glass is the new black !

An article in the newspaper today suggested that within the next 10 years nearly all new buildings or ‘sky-scrapers’ are going to be made from glass! They even gave a brief ‘artists’ image of what London and New York may look like when this craze finally takes hold.

I must say that skyscrapers made out of glass sound fantastic, and you only have to take one small look at ‘The Gherkin’ in London to see why!

I have also seen an uprise in the number of old mills being turned into blocks of flats lately and they are beautiful. Home Improvement ? Sure. City and town improvement? Most definately.

I mean I love older more architecturally ripe designs but lately I have been seeing just how glass is going to shape our future. Lets just hope a window doesn’t smash :O.
