Honestly, you just mirrored what I was thinking! Great minds think alike, huh? ;) keep it light and natural with a few earthy accents and small pops of rich colour (like my art easels, Paint, throws and cushions ect) I checked underneath the ratty carpet and there are some beautiful floorboards underneath but my worries are: 1. Without the carpet I might make to much noise in the night (I have been known to stay up painting until early hours of the morning) and 2, it gets freezing up there in the winter WITH the carpet to act as an insulator, so I wonder if, with bare floorboards it might be even worse. It would look so nice with the floorboard so if you have any thoughts on how to tackle that I'm all ears!

Curtains look neutral as does the carpet. Personally I would keep these to start with and paint the walls a mid grey which might sound bold when originally you wanted white but it will be broken up a lot by the windows and kitchen. If it is possible to get rid of the peninsular the kitchen will feel less imposing. Since the kitchen is open to the living room I would be trying to find a cupboard elsewhere to house this although you can get washers with a timer which you can set when you go to bed and they finish as you get up in the morning. Rectangular dining tables work when you have a straight wall perhaps a circular table would be better here. I would use masking tape on the floor to help visualise furniture placement. Try putting a sofa in the middle of the room, with the side to the front door and it facing the opposite corner to the kitchen.

Ohhh boy! It looks for me as hallway. I would put sectional in the corner and rug. Rug is all the way ,long enough to cover eyesore tile work. Will continue later with ideas.

This is a super site with incredibly friendly and helpful contributors, I am sure you will get a lot out of it, I certainly have. :) As well as the advice from the great folks on here, there are 2 books that I have found immensely helpful. The first is the Haynes manual for Victorian and Edwardian houses and the second is Farrow and Ball: How to Decorate. The Haynes helped me think about the history of my house, what I could/should/will/won't find as we tackle each room. The F&B book helped me think about colour and how it is affected by the light coming into the room (or lack thereof). It also made me think about the flow of the house from room to room which is especially important in a smaller house I think as a cohesive flow will make the rooms (and the whole house) feel bigger. The best bit of advice I got was from my brother-in-law who said that we should live with the house for a good 6 months before making any large changes. There may be stuff that really needs doing though such as neutralising any particularly strong decor from the previous owners. (I removed all the odd strips of wallpaper stuck at random places in the hall!) Good luck with it and make sure you post to let us know how it is going. Oh and RB, surfing RightMove is a super idea. Quite a lot of the time it does show you stuff you then know you don't want!

Love the built in log store for the fire, it makes such focal point in the room whilst maintaining the understated look!

Love the complimenting tones and the mix of the old wood and contemporary slate/tiles!
