Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

That is a stunning fireplace - maybe early for the Art Nouveau period but I could see a young Rennie Mackintosh or Margaret MacDonald warming their cockles in front of it's flames at a family home and parking the memory to use as inspiration for designs in later life!

It’s a bit like putting the toilet seat down.
As I mentioned previously, I have an older sister. Growing up, we shared a bathroom. She was rather adamant about that toilet seat issue. It was not always a peaceful, respectful discussion.
The result of this is that I never, ever leave the seat up.

I never leave the toilet seat up because I like getting laid. If you do too, then put the seat down and don't point out that the counter is full of her makeup and hair appliances when she gets onto you when you forget.
It is a very ingrained habit in all seriousness, probably also due to sharing a bathroom with a sister growing up. Since men too occasionally need to sit in the loo, it's common sense that this is plain good manners.
What's less ingrained is putting the seat cover down, which is becoming necessary with two dogs in the house.

At home, I always sit down, just less risky all round…
Couldn't agree more

This Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House, took on a whole new twist. Both rooms looking good though.

Yes, thanks for getting things back on track @ROman - much appreciated!

The "makeup and appliance all over the bathroom" vanity has always been a major pet peeve of mine. It wasn't cheap but I found a good solution for that when we remodeled:
Is it worth the money? Probably not, but at least I don't have to look at a vanity without an inch to spare.

I kinda "need" them, too.
(not so much for me, but to clear out Julie's side…)

Paula and I are out of the country for a couple of weeks, so we left Les in charge…...
He painted the new dining room (what was the old kitchen), put a mirror up (that P and I found a few weeks ago for nothing) and then to cap it all, he found a fireguard in a skip that may as well have been made-to-measure.....Oh, and the corbels I got off ebay for £49 delivered, they'll do
And he found time to knock up a pelmet and start fitting the architrave and skirting in the new kitchen….
