I like one more than the other but both are possible, I still cant get over the wall paper though. The one had a huge green opposite which I think might get nosey in the summer, the other is on a tree lined road and may be quieter.  I am not used to noise, most of my neighbours are buried, so I dont notice them, plus one had no car parking and the other had a driveway.  Very old house and kind of quirky, I liked the floor boards too, staining them would be really nice.  I just think there is a lot of hope, if I can stop my daughter sulking about the huge built in cupboard in 'her' room not being in the one I liked. Isnt life tough without a cupboard in your bedroom eh?  Poor thing, am I being selfish for preferring the L shaped kitchen?  Since I pay the rent I dont think so.
