I'm drooling over these pics again, and I'm noticing how great the arrangement is... how the stairs go through two family rooms and an office, rather than cutting through the bathroom or the master bedroom or something. Very well planned. And I love how there's a seperate staircase leading from the master bedroom to a private bath. It almost seems like a little spa retreat or something up there, to me. It's just lovely. I'd live in it if it came in human size!

Congratulations Nickers!
Lovely colors throughout, and the wallpaper and flooring are to die for!
Wonderful design with the conservatory out front.
This is a delight to view!

Cheers, Pgal :wave:

Beautiful job! I love your ideas. Did you cut the floor piece on your attic room, or just sand it to fit? I'm working on a section now.

Thank you!  :love:

Just about everything that you put together in a custom way needs to be cut or modified at least a little. I test fit everything, cut a little, test fit again, cut a little more... Last thing I did was sand for a nice fit.

Sorry it took so long to answer. We moved to another new home this past week. Going from high heat to air conditioning ruined my attic floor. :( It was a printed coated cardboard that looked like wood and it's completely wrinkled and needs replaced. The carpets and plastic floors are all fine. Oddly enough the wall paper is also fine even though much of it is simply scrap booking paper.
