Few photos of the place now it’s done - think we’ll have pro shots done at some point but 🤷‍♂️
- I love the aesthetic of the Douglas fir floor but it is soft.
- Really pleased with the lime plaster even if maybe it’s a little anachronistic
- The house is so much lighter and brighter - and the space feels just tons better to live in
- Speccing built in furniture has meant we have so much storage that we don’t have things out but storing them is easy - the house looks like this most of the time.
- lighting makes a huge difference to the rooms, not something I’d considered before really but fewer spots, more dimmers and different types of light really make a difference.
- Everything costs 30% more and takes time

So many beautiful details here, you must be over the moon. The interface of stairs/balustrade/ceiling being so neat and tidy is particularly satisfying.

Love the cupboard under the stairs into corridor into living area. Very fun to find room for playful features like little corridors in a design not overtly 'fun' btw

Also - wasn't there a question of a curved wall and some original paneling at one point? What was the final answer if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks very much, very kind! But yep really pleased with it and it's genuinely made a huge difference to how we live. So great. I do look back and laugh at the original budget and what EC said we might be able to get for this but we did more than originally planned and at some point I will forget about it...

I don't have a good pic of that part but this one kind of shows it - we had a curved wall which then leads into a panelled section where our office space is. Currently this is an Ikea desk (behind the Artek wooden screen) the plan is to get a built in desk which will have built in storage and cable routing! right now it's a little messy. We're debating whether to keep the shelves which ( @dbr ) built or go for something built in.
