Stripped down floorboards or wood floor?

i think it depends a lot on what look your going for…i do love those old fashioned floorboards with loads of wear sometimes
looking at all those pics i posted back then.. dont really like any of them now

Depends how good your floorboards are, if they are chopped ot bits (from having central heeting put in for example) then they don't look good, but if they are wide Victorian ones in good condition then they look good. Also, if the room is above the cellar fill in between the boards, you get an icy draught between them otherwise. If you're going to have wood, have real wood, not that nasty laminate stuff.

I can't do Ikea but would highly recommend getting yourself along to a secondhand furniture shop, one in a slightly dodgy part of town where the trendies do not dare to tread. That's where I get all my bestest interior bargains, like a top condition Parker Knoll chair for £40, antique mirrors £30 each (bought two, one was thrown in for free) and a top condition velvet chesterfield style sofa for £80.
In my experience with furnishings, new is not the way to go. If I were to buy new, I would head to Tottenham Court Road where there are a couple of excellent furniture shops which handmake their goods in east London. Top quality, cheaper prices than Heals et al.
Alternatively, find a chippy. Draw/explain what you want and get it custom build - doesn't have to cost silly money and then you get something unique.

Do people still have coffee tables ? I don't know anyone who has one.

Right, need some inspiration, bedroom pictures.
Currently have a pretty big room. High ceiling, exposed brick, original pillars. Currently only has a walnut bed and cream carpet in there.
Anyone point me in the direction of any images/ideas?

Doing it up to live in or cash in SYM? Great opportunity to make somewhere you love that kind of thing.

Love reading things like this, worth doing a thread of it's own though.

Doing it up to live in DuffMan so its going to be a real labour of love.
I'll take some more photos this week and start a new thread then.
