The plan looks a nightmare - bedrooms facing the street, a tiny internal bathroom with no window to the outside (is that legal?) and a "lounge" that looks like it was meant to be a third bedroom. If the internal walls are stud and don't support the roof you're in with a chance, but I'd say to do a proper job the cheap option is NOT going to work. I'd put two bedrooms where the current family room and lounge are and extend the bathroom into the boot room to give window access, or scrap the current bathroom altogether and use some of the space in what is now the kitchen for a new one. Keeping the WC separate is a good move. If you make the street side the social side of the house you can open it right out and create a big front porch that's a social spill-over from the kitchen/dining area, creating indoor-outdoor flow. Planting (two or three shade trees and some stands of tall perennials rather than a "green fence" hedge) keeps your front garden private yet inviting and stops your front porch becoming a stage set for the street. Good luck! I think you'll turn this very ordinary house into a much nicer place to live!

You will need to check that the substrate beneath the veneer is clean (not dusty, greasey). If there is contact adhesive present you may be able to carefully laminate the veneer back down with a clothes iron. Otherwise you will need to purchase some adhesive first.

I gather these are not built-in wardrobes ? These would be more for older places that have no permanent wardrobes . Basically , it would come down to their intended use , and your preference . Marine ply may be able to be varnished or stained , to match the rest of your ( wooden ) furniture , but by your description , these are both marine ply on the exterior . That doesn't paint all that well from what I have found . Laminate on the inside sounds smoother . But if it is an older house , older manrobes or similar may suit the style better , but then you'd have to research costs and borer and styles . I'm pretty sure you can get fabric ones with a light frame too . But the best one would be the one YOU prefer .

I've recently aquired a Chatley MCM teak dining table. The table top is teak veneered while the legs and the frame are solid teak timber. Looking for recommendations on basic cleaning and maintenance. Very confused on what products can be safely used on these surfaces.
