Vines, flowers and ivys are victorian and they reflect life and vitality. The medallians in this decor are most likely original or authentic reproduction. Without seeing the one in the dining room. Flamingos are charicteristic of the deco period and was probably redone in the 1920s-1940s pre- WW-II....

Id like to renovate, repair and in short, completely rehaul the house. How do I start? Where do I find an architect, what questions do I ask in selecting him/her? In add...

Unfortunately my roof is also covered in an asbestos slate tile which looks like an exact reproduction of the clicca per ingra...
