They are right, get a pro to help! Even if you jut pay them for a few hours, its worth it! With that said, instead of making the 10x13 bathroom accessible to guests, why not leave the other one as is, since it is common already and change the 10x13 into study space? Then there is not a bathroom opening up to the kitchen. Also it is larger and will allow for more space. Next owners might make it into a large walk-in pantry. Or if you can put laundry in your unit, you could add that to that room also. Desk could double as folding table. Master bedroom - put the bed on wall that backs to bathroom. Gives you great view of bed from doorway and allows natural walk way to balcony.

These are a tough find! I do know that they get a lot of furnishing items form Mitchell Gold http://www.mgbwhome.com/. I could not find the lighting on there, but, you may want to occasionally check their website. They are going to set up a Good Wife furnishing collections soon :) sorry I couldn't help!

Millions of people over the world go on holiday every year, all with different requirements for their perfect holiday. From city breaks to beach holidays tourists travel to various destinations around the world to have a new experience, whether it is to gain knowledge of a culture, explore historic sites to sitting on beach soaking up the warm sun! January is a busy month for travel agencies and tour operators as it is the most popular month to a book a holiday in the UK. To help you make better holiday plans for 2015 here are a few tips to follow to get that ideal holiday: Choosing the Right Holiday Type When you decide to go on a holiday, deciding on the type of holiday is the first step to get the ball rolling on your holiday plan. Some people know exactly what they want from a holiday e.g. scuba diving, dive Philippines, skiing, visiting the Egyptian pyramids, etc., whereas others need a helping hand in the decision making. Some go for a relaxing beach holiday compared to people who want an adventure holiday compared to people who want a city break. There are a great number of tour operators specialised in beach, cultural and adventurous holidays including scuba diving who will be happy to provide you with a lowdown of holiday types to help you make the decision that is right for you. Holiday Budget Once you have decided on the type of holiday get a budget in mind and stick to it. Have a maximum spend budget so you are able to look at a variety of options in your price range, this will make it easier to make a choice. Be sure to let your travel agent know what your budget is as this will save you from getting a number of quotes and itineraries that do not fit your budget. Also ensure that budget does not compromise your holiday experience and financial protection. When deciding on a budget ensure you consider booking the holiday with an ATOL protected company so that your holiday and money is 100% protected. Choosing a Holiday Destination Once you have the type of holiday and budget in mind the next step is to find a destination. Like I said earlier some people know exactly where they want to go, however some people need to do a bit more research to get inspired. Researching destinations online is a great way to find out a lot of information about a place, alternatively popping into a travel agent and speak to an advisor. Most travel agents have years of experience organising holidays around the world and some have had the pleasure of visiting these destinations which means they can offer you first hand advise.
