It's a long way off but we will need wardrobes in the new place. I picked up a brochure in Ikea when I was there the other day and quite like the look of some of their stuff, particularly all the internal organising bits which I thought were excellent. Does any one have any other recommendations for decent wardrobes?

Alike some self builders I'm running low on £s, we are at the stage of picking bathrooms and it's proving costly. Has anyone ever bought a Ikea vanity unit with basin and what has been your experience, at £220 its seems good value compared to a Roca vanity unit at £450 but wondering...do you get what you pay for? Or should we opt for a good quality semi pedestal which is cheaper than Roca Vanity unit? Or go for an Ikea unit, looks good in my view. Any thoughts and tips would be appreciated.

She fell in love with LEDs. So much so that I recon we might be able to install a 12 volt circuit in the kitchen and bathroom. I've searched for "12 volt circuits" here, and there aren't any. Do I really have to have a forest of sockets and transformers under the work surfaces or hidden above and behind cupboards? With all the warnings that @JSHarris has given us about cheap noisy LED drivers full of RF interference, I'm wondering; for 6 sets of LEDs in the kitchen What's the lowest number of 12 volt circuits I can get away with for the kitchen ? Should we have a separate 12 volt circuit, or should we just install a/c sockets and plug each string of LEDs into them? Very roughly, what's the maximum lead length for bell-wire size DC circuitry? Is it worth getting hard-core about this (for fun) and install our own transformer(s) Anyone know of good online reading about LEDs in house builds?
