This would be a great idea to keep an eye on what your kids do on the Internet. Specially important these days with so many predators out there making kids think they are their age!

Glass bottles and tea cups can present a problem with lack of drainage - it largely depends on what you're planting though, so succulents last okay in glass jars and teacups though long term should be moved to something more suited :)

Suzineedsahouse, what is the era or character of the house you have moved into, because perhaps that will influence design style regardless of size? Also, if you have been knocking out walls is it likely to be more open plan?? I moved from a small 1960's era granny flat into an as-small Art Deco 1940's apartment and found I went with more classic furniture with the second place because it just suited the aesthetic of high ceilings, floorboards, wide skirting boards, fireplace, ceiling roses etc. Having said that, I live in a block of 6 apartments, and I have seen the other apartments decked out completely differently (all of similar layout), from really modern, to mid-century, also one with a real retro art vibe, and they all looked great and seemed to suit the space fine. So maybe go with your taste in the end??

Bigger doors are perfect as a statement but also to move large furniture in; Pivot doors look fantastic but watch out for kids arms getting caught in the gap; once they start closing hard to stop at the short end!
