You can always go with textured glass or slump glass,it has a more rustic look and doesn't look so modern as plain glass, it's much easier to keep clean too as it doesn't streak and there is no grout...we have a very traditional kitchen and it looks amazing,this is my laundry and is actually quite a vibrant purple with dragonflies on it because,in the laundry,why not? The kitchen is more nuetral......

I can't thank you all enough for your input.. I had an interior designer come in app 3 years ago & she is the one who picked the little table & the other table with the lap top on it (I don't mind them) she also pushed me into getting the curtains & I'm over them already .. I will change them but might have to wait 12m b4 I can afford to.. The lounge I love still although I would like to get a new one but that's not in our budget either at this stage.. As for the wall paper that was just a thoughts & so was the paneling.. I do love the TV unit in the picture but longer like the sketch & I've bought 4 baskets already. . So In answering your ? I need to work around the unit & lounge at the moment..

You are kind to say that, Julie. Hubby also washed and polished the floorboards in the two rooms we decided to retain. They look much better as well. This has been fun project; don't quite know what I'll do with myself after it's completed! :) although, in saying that, there is the garden here to keep us occupied...!

@Kath i used osmo natural hardwax oil, i'll prob sand this back at some point as it was too white for my liking but ill need to do that if i ever end up back in the actual office as it takes a few days to dry. I'll look into that oil. @Litsa Adamou great job on the desk i like how you made it shorter and turned it right angle, if i had the tools i wanted to do that and then put the chest of draws under it. Here is current state, excuse the mess i was half way through setting this up before i had to rush setting everything up half finished so i could work from home 8-10 hours a day. IT stull will be relocated to a central location once i tear it all down. I'm waiting on 2 monitors + office chair i went the ikea Alefjall. https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/alefjaell-office-chair-grann-golden-brown-20419983/ I'll actually post my own thread as my bits an pieces are due soon and i need to work out layout.
