Thanks all. 1. A carpenter/fitter is coming around on Sat for the kitchen - I'll ask him for a quote for this too. In the meantime, I've been googling/thinking, and saw this from IKEA: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/washstands-taps/wash-stands/fullen-wash-basin-cabinet-white-art-70189041/ (& pale green countertop: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/washstands-taps/wash-stands/viskan-countertop-pale-green-art-70354804) I just need to remove a slice of the base at the rear for it to be level with the top of the basin. Hope that doesn't look weird. 2. Will paint the door frame - satinwood or similar. Easy one, that. :) 3./4. Will look at the navy/teal/dark grey wallpapers and paint. I think a combination of them may look really good. Have requested some samples - just waiting for them to arrive now! Great. Can't wait to get going now.

Thank you for everyone's comments, had no idea this thread would prove so popular when I started it. We are plastering this week and we have finally bought most things for the kitchen. I did find some real 'finds' though if anyone is looking. Not sure where you are based, but regarding electrical goods we researched all our own and narrowed down our list, and once we had that we looked online for the best prices for each appliance. Instead of buying from lots of different places we took it to Bentalls, who not only matched, but also cost us less, and beat some online prices with a good 'deal' price they also then will hold on to them until you need them, but if anything goes wrong you have 'bentalls' rather than several online dealers to return items to. RDO Appliances also do this if there is one near you, but i'd advise you to research prices first. Another thing we found was inserts for the kitchens. Through our kitchen supplier these were expensive, bin inserts, pull out drawers, pull out larders, even the pop up sockets, sourced seperately through ebay and online we managed to save quite a lot of money by doing this, so our fitter will still have the right things on the day, but we are not getting the inserts from the supplier. What else..... erm kitchen worktop, unbelievably the exact same worktop, same material, same cut outs etc.. same sizes differed between suppliers by 3k! so do shop around for your quartz and granite.

The laundry lobby and the bedroom lobby are not very efficient uses of space, unless you want the extra separation of the bedrooms from the living space. Personally I would combine the laundry with the second bathroom. Then you should be able to make the sitting area of your new open plan room bigger as you can add on most of the space currently given to the second bathroom and bedroom lobby. If the sitting area becomes bigger, then perhaps you do not need a separate sitting room and can make it a third bedroom (or at least, this could be presented as an option if you come to sell).

I’m not going to get involved in an argument but as a partner in a company who has been producing these since the 70s (and no I don’t post under my company name) all I can say is that why would we and other companies pay ££££s for specialised machinery to manufacture these products if they’re not recommended? On the other hand timber (in its natural state) is a hydroscopic material that will shrink and swell in sympathy with its surroundings, so based on your comment will be no different. What are kitchen carcases made out of? Same!
