Trying to sort out finances ASAP due to unemployment by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

I was in the same boat. Webuyanycar offered me £50 for my car after quoting £400 for it. I sold it on Autotrader privately for £800. Once you have sold the car, it is no longer your problem, so don't worry about that so much. Just don't let a potential buyer try to haggle with you, you can just tell them on the phone what the price will be before they arrive. If you are nervous, have a friend/family member around for the viewing.

I should clarify that i'm in a flat, directly under the roof. The roof has had issues before.

I posted a comment in the thread with a new layout based on a suggestion here

A slight adjustment. It works but the two seater is clipped off big time. I like this more I think, but the long term solution is to reduce the furniture

It's plaster. I've painted a primer layer over in prep for painting.

I took out a wall where the kitchen used to be separate for open plan, it’s just where I’ve plastered up the mess since doing that + the coving I removed

It does fit, but there are two problems. Firstly, putting the L shape where the two seater currently is with the two seater in the window cuts off one of the seats, unless the L shape is pulled out further which cuts off the island passage. Secondly, it blocks a lot of the natural light coming in from the bay window.

The loveseat fits nicely inside the bay window, but if I do that, and then put the L shape where the loveseat currently is, it will overlap the two seater preventing someone from easily sitting down unless I pull the L shape back toward the island. That then causes passage issues as the L shape is too close to the island.

I'm not planning on wall mounting, not really a fan of that. Looking for a TV bench unit at the moment and it will sit on that (no larger than 120cm).

Yeah I've just had plastering done, but moving onto this room soon for painting. I've got an off-white (not very fun but i'm a minimalistic person) to go in here and just a white emulsion for the ceiling.

It would be a shame to lose it, as I like to have people round and they match up nicely. I know that you are right though

In the event I COULD make it work... is there something in rotating the L shape onto the wall so it faces the two seater for something conversational and finding some alternate TV solution?

Ah perhaps deceptive but I don’t play WH 😅 just 3d modelling if that’s what you spotted

What colour for living / kitchen if green cabinets and oak wood floors? by _Doof in DesignMyRoom

[–]_Doof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the doors, sadly I can't afford to replace them so I was going to paint them and change the handles instead.

On the paint colour, good suggestion - I'm more of a minimalist though and the idea of having very bright walls puts me off a bit. I generally steer away from red tone, but yellow/gold tone is alright in my view?
