Hi Killen, the railing was custom made by a steel fabricator in Sydney. We used powdercoated steel for the framework and then stainless steel cabling. You can get a similar design from several railing manufacturers but sadly this project was quite tight on space and so custom was necessary. It met the Australian Standards at the time for child safety but I have to admit I'm always a little nervous of all horizontal railings in households with very young children. I tend to opt for a vertical railing or glass in those situations. Regards Charles

I was going to comment but Amber done it all for me (Amber rearrange my tiny room plz.) This room has so much scope and basically just needs key pieces already there to be placed better. I agree with curtains longer poles let them FREE no tie backs get closer with your seating for conversation areas plz lose little rug in front of harth. Group some of your ornaments so not so granny looking. A few plants and flowers to give the room life. Take care hanging pictures on walls they need to be hung straight with thought to viewing height if too small as some are group them for more impact. Get a large picture or mirror over fireplace they are not expensive one that reflects what you love. Keep all the vintage toys especially old horse he's great adds charm and old car lovely. I would repaint but wait till furniture rearranged then sit back in there with light flooding in from your beautiful windows and see what colours the natural light loves then decide. Well I was there with you for a moment :) Beautiful room and great pieces just need sorting have fun

Is our picture rail original 1930s or a strange 1970s addition?

Hi Claire, As kmizzlee said the lower one would have been where the original picture rail sat (please re-instate too - its great being able to move artwork/seasonal decorations around without putting holes in the walls!). I would hazard a guess that originally there would gave been a cornice then in the 1970's the owner decided to rip the cornicing out at the same time as the picture rail in an attempt to 'modernise'. Upon finding that the plaster simply went up to the cornice and not underneath they bodged the job and put up the odd moulding to disguise it somewhat. 1920's-30's cornicing was generally of a low profile (ie it didnt extend far down the wall) but was often of a staggered design extending further along the ceiling, it could be my imagination from the photo but there seems a faint suggestion of this on the ceiling? https://www.regency-mouldings.com/products/cornice/modern_and_art_deco/details/3-step

I don't think all the measurements can be right? especially that bottom L shaped room... I wonder whether something like this could work? (really depends on how wide those 2 bottom rooms are, otherwise knock them through?) You could obviously do loads more if you knocked out a lot more walls... and completely reconfigured the space as then in some ways your "only limit" is your budget! lol Loads of potential though I'd imagine.. may be worth having a look and trying get a feel for the place in real life? Could also potentially move the door to the smallest bedroom away from the front door, and onto the internal corridor.. or this? OR this?

I used Little and Greene's Flat Oil Eggshell and the Two fussy blokes rollers. I did a TON of research and it was very straight forward because all of the hard work was already done in the priming. I am not sure if DIY would let you purchase the units primed, might be worth asking. They offered it to us as an option to make it right. We had paid for the kitchen before their paint line failed and they didn't informed us. By the time we came to choose our delivery date they realised that they cannot fulfil the order. So they offered us a discount and a ready to paint primed kitchen. I took my time and was impressed on the finish I achieved, my neighbour a professional painter decorator was on stand by in case I messed it up, he was impressed with the results too. It definitely gave me the confidence to do it again, BUT saying all of that the factory spray finish is amazing so I would choose that if I had the option. I have no doubt in my mind that you will love the quality and the colour match, most people I stalk on Insta are well pleased but I understand of course that this is just hear say and the importance of seeing a sample.
