OK, DH and I are rubbish on this stuff. At the minute we have these units] with a handle [[http://www.revivekitchens.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=482 like this . Splashback tiles of the brick shape with butterfly and bee and dragonfly painted tiles every now and again .
Floor we have this amtico type flooring . Worksurface will be laminate vaguely similar to this .
It's a kitchen diner and we have victorian chairs I need to upholster which look very roughly like this . I don't know what look to go for with the material to upholster and it needs to be practical with a toddler (or we will just leave them until she's older and use our painted wood chairs for now). Our kitchen table is like the top picture here with painted legs. We can easily repaint them another colour. We also have a table in the shed very similar to the one below only in a dark wood (mahogany?) which I dislike as I find it too pub like, but we could use this instead (?).
I was thinking of getting muslin type roman blind for the window and long curtains for the french doors and do some hand embroidery on them, maybe with butterflies and bees etc to tie in with the tiles.
We were thinking of white walls but think this might all look too wishy washy, so maybe a colour, or a large bold painting on a wall.
We are also having this oven in cream and a white ceramic sink. Lighting will be those circular lights in the ceiling everywhere seems to have now I'm not technical and a light maybe a bit like this over the table.
We have a victorian house and want something more traditional than modern.
We just have no clue whether this will be nice, or look rubbish, and we don't want to muck this up as, for us, we're spending alot on it and don't want to get it wrong. ANy interior design help appreciated whether this will look nice, or bland, or how to accessorise, or anything to help really [clueless]
