    I'd hope it was on the fixtures and fittings list under white goods... :D

    The kitchen is an odd layout too, I love the cooker, but there doesn't seem to be any work surface near it - you'd be forever walking across the room with hot pans.

    My parents do the hundreds of small pictures in the bog thing as well - I've never understood it - mainly because everytime you pull your trousers up, you catch the damn things. To make it worse, my dad - during his "artex frenzy" period decided to do the walls, so you not only scatter framed postcards everywhere, but you take the skin off you elbows as well. :o

    I have a room in that purple/blue colour in the project house we've just bought - I'm on the third coat of white emulsion and I can still see it in places :(

    One of the other rooms was done in crimson child-proof paint - I had to actually use a steamer to peel the paint down to the bare plaster before I could paint it. Luckily they hadn't painted it properly so it came off in sheets, but it is still three days of my life I won't get back.

    The point of pictures is to be able to look at them - but in that toilet they're all behind you. :rotfl:

    You'd love us. :o My OH painted my daughter's room in a dark purple glitter paint (it was what she wanted). It reminds me of the inside of a coffin. The top glitter layer now makes the walls feel rough. I just want to paint it a light colour and paper an accent wall - but she likes it as it is.

    I see one of the bedrooms is 5'3'' x 6'3''. :eek: Considering most single beds are 3ft wide by 6'3'' long, that's not giving you much room for anything else!

    And there's no windows in the kitchen! Look at the floorplan, and you can see when you see into the kitchen from the conservatory.

    That reminds me.......Frustrated by the kittens scratching the anagypta, forced on us by dodgy plaster, I hit on the idea of bonding the first 60cm to the wall with glassfibre resin. It worked a treat....:)

    .....but I wonder how the purchasers of our last house will get on when they try to peel it off! :rotfl:
