I love the option to work in a private office while still feeling connected to the larger open plan space. And who doesn't want a huge blackboard to creatively brainstorm?

We are hoping to renovate downstairs later in the year, so I'm not sure yet where they shall go yet. At the moment next to the stairs, which is a wrap around with double height ceiling. The watercolours are from a small coastal village Schull, in Ireland, so I want to showcase them as they remind me of home. Thanks again all for your suggestions. Much appreciated!

French moulding was used to add interest to large walls by creating shadow and shape. Plenty of Paris and New York buildings only have key walls done or key areas such as foyers. If you follow the guides of “place” and “proportion” you should be fine. Place meaning a sense of appropriateness ie a flat roof mid century house is not the place for French moulding and Proportion meaning working within the rooms physical shape ie hard to get a real impact in a low roofed small room. But as always have what you love.

If you look at these photos of your home and a comparison photo. Okay, the photos of your home may not be as neat a job, but the work completed is the same. Only difference with gutters, as mentioned by siriusky is the placement of the gutters on the boundary wall. But if a down pipe is required for this side of the home, then that ,is maybe why they have completed the job with the gutters along the wall not on top. An inspector will check everything and give you piece of mind. But the job may of been done correctly in the first place?
