hate to tell you he would not care about that either. i know, i know. exe was always "watching the duckies" but this one is really a bit of a prude. eh, i love him maybe more for it, always faithful no matter how much i spy. lol

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??

Snap. We have the same art deco fitting (from your WIR) in our front hallway. We have a Federation home but the last owner regularly modernised it after he & his young family moved in in the 1950's so we have all sorts of eclectic stuff going on. I also know how hard it is to find the right light fitting, we have a c.1970's saucer like fitting in our tv room (courtesy of the last owners modernising) that I detest but it's still there because I can't find anything quite right for the space. Have included some pics of light fittings that might (???) work for your bedroom....

Hi Catherine, the glass panes in a louvre window overlap to ensure an effective seal against wind and water. We sell thousands of louvre windows each year and sealing of blades has never been an issue. However, you should always check that the manufacturer you go with and products you select comply with industry standard AS2047:2014. Products must comply to this Australian standard for wind and water penetration and are independently tested, before they can be certified compliant. All A&L products are certified compliant with this standard.
