Thank you. The fabrics are on the blue side of duck egg. I need to find curtain fabric...
The walls with go a rich cream, and the paintwork white. We're probably having maintenance free (as far as these things ever are!) plastic framed double glazed windows in the same style as the wooden framed single glazing we have now. White is best for that, so we'll just paint all the woodwork white. I want light woodblock floors and rugs rather than carpet.
It will be so nice to have furniture I DON'T have to cover up with throws that look a mess five minutes after someone sits down! (I seem to be the only person on the planet who doesn't squirm so much the throws rise up from the floor and slide down the back and wedge themselves in behind the seat cushions!
I now have my lovely new sofabed...despite having to move 600 books, to get it in! It also meant disposing of the manky shabitat side board the previous weekend! It took all day, the lighting circuit decided to go phut in the middle of it all, thus knocking out the router and the bedside lamps, but it is all worth it. I have a really comfortable bed, the black leather sofa is comfy and long enough to stretch out on, and my lovely velvet cushions what Katexxxxxx made for me are glowing gently against it. I also stand to get the nice dark mahogany officers pattern bureau, from the burnt out cousin, which will swallow lots of crapola and provide a writing surface and lots of dinky little compartments for stationery and pooter bits and bobs. It also has a top on which to display Mama's lovely art deco French not actually bronze, and possibly Granny's fruit bowl

I thought yours was a share in the freehold... Still, if five grand spent by you now gives it a long enough lease that it improves the value by more than that, then yes, well worth the dosh.
I'm glad you new bed is comfy. Did they get the old one out in one chunk, or was it hacked to death in situ and marched out piecemeal?
