17th century timber frame cottage

[womcombat]

If you had a 17th Century timber frame cottage, where would you look for interior design ideas? Apart from antique shops/auctions, where would you look for new furniture? What about soft furnishings?

What about paint? F&B or do we need specialist paint, no idea what the walls are made of at the moment!

I've been pintresting but not coming up with huge amounts, struggling for young boys bedroom especially (only stipulation is 'green')

Laura Ashley ? Classic style

Paint needs to be breathable, assuming it's the original or replacement lime plaster on the walls. I don't think Farrow and Ball is. Clay paint is breathable though, and has a lovely finish. We have it throughout our place.
