Ok, you are in what is commonly known as "The Freak Out Stage" - overwhelmed by all your options now that the time has come to actually do something! I scrolled through your Ideabooks and you are right - you sure have lots of things you like - but generally there is a theme: with a few exceptions, they are cottage-y and traditional, lots of fabrics, and neutral walls in beige/linen/light grey. Often you've picked out photos that are overall neutral and calming, with one brighter piece (a chair or a nice fabric in cushions or a throw or curtains). I say all of that to give you confidence that there is a cohesive look that you like so don't freak out. If you need to do essential works, like the windows, do those first. Restore the cornicing (even if some sections need replacing, this isn't a major job - the pattern is just copied into a mould and inserted and then you paint) and then decide if there is a room you can complete that won't get damaged or need re-doing further down the line when you are working on other rooms. Depending on the layout and your plans it could be your lounge, kitchen or bedroom. When you have one room done to your liking it won't seem so overwhelming. I hope this is somewhat helpful. If you want specific advice for particular rooms, post some pictures and I'm sure there will be loads of people on here who can help guide you. Good luck!

Have you approached uk bed retailers? Some may be able to make it...(probably at a hefty price). Usually when someone says 'man cave' the first thing that usually springs to my mind is also chesterfield sofas, it has that true english feel to it http://www.decur.co.uk/sofas/edward-chesterfield-leather-sofa-black.html And if you haven't yet decided on paint I would definitely recommend visiting www.farrow-ball.com Best of luck!

I would love a brass bed for our bedroom but limited choice here,any idea who sells them in the north east of Scotland ,moray area

Moved from a lovely 2 bed flat in Ealing to a 3 bed Victorian mid terrace in Hitchin in North Herts on the train line into Kings Cross/Moorgate in 2011. I struggled to leave the city but our town is v lovely and unique for commuterville in that there is a lots on offer on our high street both for shopping and entertainment. That said, we've sold to move a little closer to a big city again. Moving 10 miles north of Brighton later this year. I love our house and the space but after 5 years I feel I need more than there is on offer here and once we leave this town, it's a 30 minute (usually more) drive minimum to get anywhere with more on offer. I'm a city girl through and through and though I can no longer afford to live in one, I need to be close to one. Space is great, but think of what you do with your spare time, though it's pretty fab for where we are, I feel I outgrew this town of 35,000 people in less than 5 years.
