My favourite house, the house we were happiest in, was the first house we lived in and also the smallest. We were lucky to have two bedrooms + a boxroom. The back bedroom soon became the nursery, and the box room became my office, so I could work from home.

Lots of others too if you like this kind of thing (which I do, but unfortunately my designer lighting eyes are bigger than my designer lighting purse).

Not sure whther this link will work but its the light I really hanker after ATM. I managed to get up to a shop wher it was and have a good look at it and I think I can create a good enough approximation....a tribute to the original....for somewhere in th house. Maybe a downstairs loo.

Our first home was a 2 bed flat - no box room. We'd wake every winter morning by the sound of the water dripping off the crittal windows onto the windowsills and then onto the floor. The boiler was floor standing and the pilot light kept failing, so we used to throw lit newspaper into the boiler to light it! We bought "grown up" furniture in a sale - a 2seater and 3 seater and a dining table + 6 chairs, all on interest free credit. Only problem was you had to jump over the corner of one sofa to get in the room and move the table out to sit at the table. You didn't need a remote for the TV, the sofa was so close to it you could reach out and change channels. 1986 BTW.

pm me missk, but I also need to know how tall your ceilings are as a lot of those won't work in a house with low ceilings.

Does it tweet?

Don't like it, sorry. Also think you would need a big room. Don't think I would use a loo with that light, unless I was desperate.

Of all the leitmotiv lights, the best is the pendant on white.
