I have come up with a very interesting plan this week and i'm trying to gather some useful information on how to accomplish it.
At my place, we have a very narrow private alley which looks very old. My idea is to refurb it into a victorian era alley, so i found some pictures online and this is how i want it to look like View media item 87018
Here you can see that the floor is made by flagstones (probably victorian buff)
The walls are decorated with dark wood and the roof has an arch shape with old fashiones chandeliers.
I'm looking to find answers on some of my questions.
The first and the most importand question is that the alley is 90cm width so if i put anything on the walls like wood or bricks, they must be 2-3cm thin otherwise it will become too narrow for people to walk through. Do you have any places in mind where i can buy these materials in west sussex or order them online?
One other thing is that it is a very dark alley so i need to put some nice lights. My idea is to install some LED spotlights on the floor which will give the "old-fashioned" look a modern touch, and hang some of those chandeliers on the picture above.
My main issue at the moment is how to manage to keep almost the same width in the alley after decorating it.
Thank you in advance.[/img]
