A good beginning would be to replace the walkway up to the house. A new brick walkway or stamped concrete in the same color as the brick on the house will pull all of the elements of the exterior of your home together. I made my walkway 3 feet wide with 2 feet beds on each side of the walkway in stamped concrete. Create the walkway at a distance from the house in an organic natural flowing pattern up to the house with planting beds flowing beside the walkway. Take the brick right up to the from door. Soften the entrance to your home by opening the planting beds up by the house into large organic shapes. That's what I did with my home and it changed it dramatically! It's a lot of work but what a difference!

Have you considered a mural? We make a durable, non-fading material that is seamless up to 5 metres wide on the short side (length can be over 100 metres!). Normally we install it on ceilings, so it is called 'stretch ceiling', but it works just as well on walls, and can be wide-format printed with any high resolution image. A narrow, nearly invisible frame of aluminum supports the material all around the perimeter. Our material also comes in translucent, which we can install with LED lighting behind. Here are some previous installations of ours. Please feel free to browse our profile and add anything that inspires you to your ideabooks! The material and framing is all fully recyclable.

I suggest you follow the step-by-step guide for creating storage cabinets under the bathroom sink. Take proper measurements - Measure the available available space in height, width and height. Cut Plywood to size - With a circular saw and framing square, cut all the required pieces out. You can use a sliding compound saw as an alternative. Attach the base and sides - Start assembling the sink cabinets by placing the bottom piece of plywood sheet on a flat surface. Attach the back and top boards - Place the plywood sheet for the top part of the cabinet and attach wood screws to connect it to both the sides. Turn the back faces of the cabinet upwards. Keep the back piece over the structure and fix it into place with wood screws. Attach shelves - Place the cabinet in an upright position to install the shelves. Slide a shelf into the structure so it is flush against the back. Attach door - Keep both hinges of the door on the same side of the plywood sheet. Drill them using wood screws into place. Now keep the door over the cabinet structure, extend the hinges to one of the side panels and fix them to make them secure. Fix a hasp closure on the other side of the door, placing it in the center of the hinges.

hi docpam.. since you havent mentioned the size of the room or attached a plan.. I do not know how much space you have to play around with. I mean whether you want a bunk bed for the lack of space or you want to give the boys one more for the fun that comes with it. attaching some concepts that would fit into both situations. this is a rustic looking one where your younger one could have fun getting in through the window. the light on top could help serve as a dim night light. its look being mainly rustic, you could introduce fun through personalized cushions and whimsical patterns on curtains and bed spreads. this is a more compact option with plenty storage. The colours could be used to add some fun into the room. theme based - this one highlights the height of your space too. If you have good ceiling height, this will stand out. based on a sporty theme, with a dart on the wall and a rope to hang and jump down to the ground from instead of climbing it down, you could personalize it more with soft furnishings weaved around a sports theme or add some rugs shaped like a basketball etc. if your room is long and narrow - this is a good option as well. you could replicate this into two. - so you have the same space for both your boys with the bed above and a play or study area beneath. rustic shades mixed with bright yellows and blues to add that pop of colour will definitely bring the place alive. again if youre looking for compact options - this one is another away from the conventional style - instead of having beds one above the other - these are offset to the right and left with storage taking in , into the offsets. predominantly a white and black design which you could bend to your liking and idea of fun by probably giving it colourful shutters and personalized bed spreads and cushions. all in all a fun version of their very own house compact neat and playing along a music theme. maybe you could make the steps black and white to resemble piano keys and make the railing with varying thicknesses of metal rods on which they could actually play music on - like a xylophone. another sports themed room - incase you have the place - a basket ball court can add all the fun when inside a bedroom - vinyl flooring will meet your requirement best in this case. with a larger double bed below and a study table on each side or in a L shape - so its fit for both of them - depending on the space of course - this is another theme room with elements of fun on the walls and decorative pieces used. again a bed that resembles a shack is enough to send their imagination flying! swings below can always lead to fun bonding times for the brothers. hope these help!
