The start of something wonderful...

I got the keys to this place on Friday! Yes, all of it (except the Lexus 4x4)!All of the rooms are huge, including the kitchen...The breakfast room (which will be the pie room as OH is going into business with a local chef)...The man room (where OH will go to think upon manly things- see deer head for scale!)...The living room (which was once the full house, back when it was a boarding house for monks back in the 12th Century)...This is the courtyard area for parking, behind the pig sties (where we are going to keep chickens) is the garden. We even have a well!And of course the bit you all are waiting to see... here is my workshop/studio room! By the way those chairs are definitely not staying.Not sure about the carpet- it's in good nick and sort of the colours I want, do I pull up and replace with lino, or do I cover it with clear plastic (either way it needs to be resinproof)?This is the sewing machine desk in the corner, though the plug isn't compatible, so don't think I'll be using it. It has been untouched for years, and so I felt bad rifling through the stuff of an old lady who passed away. This includes what I like to call "the embroidery of guilt" which after finding it half finished, I feel I owe it to the lady to finish it. Or maybe I should frame it half done? What do you think? I have lots of questions!And this is the shop area! The picture is taken from the front door, which will be the "trade entrance", the room to the left of the grandfather clock is the workroom. The other doors aren't in use, the closest one is mysteriously locked, and the other one is full of old trinkets and mouse poo (including a hip flask I found that still has alcohol in it)!I plan on moving this mirror from the bedroom down into the shop too...Also today I went to Breedon Priory again and came back with all of this stuff!
