In the old part of the house it is has original flooring (room next to that one has original floor tiles. I have original skirtings (painted) and the orignal coving which is quite fancy in that room but not the room next to it.

And I've just noticed the skirting in that room is not original. The others are though.

Nice. Do you know what kind of material is used in your architraves?
