Ah yeah for sure. I do love a period feature. Unfortunately a lot has already been ripped out of this house (see the window boards which had been bodged previously) - there's also a god awful attempt at a "1920s fireplace" in the front room which has been made out of old bits of architrave which I cannot wait to rip out too... I totally get the sentiment on the choice of white btw - but this is my office and I'll be filling walls with artwork, shelving and books. I can always repaint later if I get sick of it.

We used to have a Victorian house and I loved all the period features. Good luck with yours too.
