Thankyou! We are sleeping here first night tonight so need curtains up today!!! I hadn't planned on sleeping here yet but my hubby told our kids and now no going back!!!! So I'm about to drive to a big next about 7 miles away ... Hope they have something?!?! Unfortunately the nearest dunelm is too far !

Hello Stefkhs, Most welcome, I think with some fabulous mid century pieces you can really make this into a very charming and unique property. It sounds absolutely amazing! A dream project! Do show some pics of the pool... and ask if you want any further advice. By the way the shelving can easily be obtained to make a divider... Some of the early Columbo episodes are a fantastic inspiration! LA has amazing architecture..I've been a fan since I was 9! Definitely don't plasterboard and skim over it will take away what is interesting about the whole place. Besides I think it's less work and actually will be far more appealing to a cool customer! .. :))

Well 6 years have flown by and I still have a door dilemma! We have decorated the hall/stairs/landing and replaced the cloakroom and WC door with oak ledge and brace doors to match upstairs as advised on here. We still detest the white Georgian looking doors which don't match anything else in the house but don't want a solid ledge and brace as it would make an already dark hallway even darker. Could anyone suggest an oak glazed style door and handle that would tie in with the ledge and brace please? Thanking you all in advance.

I like too many things so I suppose mine is eclectic. My absolute delight is the Art Deco Moderne style; beautiful veneers, chrome, mirrors, fabrics and shapes, unfortunately I'm far to untidy and clumsy to live with it.
