well I'm sitting in a Eero Saarinen Executive 'style' chair from a London store called Interior Addict (www.interioraddict.com) which I can vouch for in comfort and build quality, at £199.

And all the things I've seen in their store seem good quality, albeit I am no expert in this area.

AND they have the sofa I covet but not at £8,000.... still, it is £1500 so in terms of what that would buy elsewhere I am expecting a high quality BUILD regardless of styling.

I've recently finished an overhaul of the bathroom in my first flat; went overbudget but having erred on the side of tasteful and good fixtures I'm happy I can ENJOY the bathroom for 5yrs or more AND add value when I come to resell because the style and quality of fittings were not the cheapest I could find.

wow, that magazine rack is very cool. Not seen one like that before.

"It really became about balancing the feeling of being settled with the enjoyment of the process of getting there."

Very well put and as a first time flat owner I am currently going through that.

Nice results with your place, really like the lounge feel.

Main reason I want a headboard is really for comfort when sitting up in the bed, as the wall is cold and I don't want to be constantly repositioning pillows. Also I have a shaved head so tends to leave a 'grease' mark on the wall if I lean my head against it so want to avoid that as well!

Wow - I am trying to get the balance right between home studio set up that doesn't look out of place in my room.

My cable solution for monitor/tech wires is an mdf panel mounted 2" from the wall where all the wires run behind, along with an Ikea Signum cable tidy hanging off the desk.

WISH I had a 2nd room!

Where oh where can I find those bathroom tiles in England?

Amazing and has set my inspiration for my bathroom project....
