We have just moved into a home in the country, it is a beautiful home and I would love to know how to decorate it properly. I love the country/farmhouse style decor but have no idea where to source furniture of this kind or even where to start. I would love some advice, some guidance and some help!! It is a big home so we would possibly look at room by room, when we can afford it. This is my dream home and would love it to be furnished to bring out the character of the house.
(1) obtain/redraw existing plans as we do not have this for the house (2) design a boma area of about 8x6m (3) design extension of existing house 3,7x4,7m (4) design a way to cover up /extend the house's U-shape veranda. We'd like to use the plans to obtain a quote from construction guys... project will not start immediately but I need an amount to work towards to.
