@Cornerstone design studio: Apologies for making big post; thought that more info will help. @Rupal ji, If it sounds like I dont need any changes; my apologies for that. Let me put it in short,"I am looking for options that give modern facilities without leaving good things from old charm/ comforts. " Thanks for the straight forward comments.
