Thank you, it was a wonderful home to build. The windows and french doors were supplied through the Windsor Window and Door Company.

Hi Mark, Really pleased they worked out for you. I’m looking to install and big width and smaller set at the back of my house. Worried may be draughty, any concerns on that? Also that there is nothing to secure them back with so wind can be a problem! Many thanks Jenny

Suggestions on what curtains or blinds for French doors

I went with Perfect Fit Venetians for my new French doors. They fit into a frame so blinds don't flap around when you open the door . There is also a handle at the base to pull up and down to reveal the glass and a switch at the top to open and close slats. I personally prefer the aluminium as they were the more hygeinic option for a kitchen and don't hold onto cooking smells. I think curtains blowing in the wind when the door is open always look as if they are escaping.

Yes, if you just wish to freshen up your windows and they are in good order, painting them makes good use of what you have. If the supplier is reputable with a good guarantee on the product you will be covered against warping and big draughts. I believe that slight ventilation is usually required to avoid condensation. Our timber windows are around 140 years old and still going strong with no warping. I do urge people to consider the health benefits for the family - clean air in your home. In the long run, with timber windows last at least 6 times the age the value for money of timber which outweighs the cost of painting within one lifetime alone. Also timber will not be adding to landfill or use as much energy to create. Finally the character and quality of finish is much different. Here is a comparison for you. According to this timber costs less too. https://www.wwf.org.uk/sites/default/files/2017-06/windows_0305.pdf Hope that helps in time! Thank you for sharing and we hope to see some photos! Ellen

What colour bedroom furniture with oak windows/doors?

Thank you both for taking the time to reply. I think one of the rooms might well end up with green accents, but I don't think I would like green furniture - would prefer something neutral so that if we wanted to change the colour scheme in the future we could easily without having to replace the furniture. I suspect the other (master) bedroom will end up a more coastal colour scheme. @Sonia, thank you I had been looking at the Cotswold Company so that's good to hear their stuff might work quite nicely. Sadly we don't live that close to any of their stores and I tend to like to see furniture in the flesh but perhaps we'll have to make a trek. Would still be interested to hear what wood types/colours would work best as I don't really like all matching furniture in a room, so I suspect we'll want to have various different items in each of the two bedrooms,.
