Our business has changed, so earlier this year we decided that we would completely relocate from our base in Kent to set up shop next to our new home in Herefordshire.

Invited characters will be found at one of a small pool of possible locations within each set. In the UK, woodchip wallpaper became popular in the 1970s and 80s. It was often used in council houses and other affordable housing as a cheap and easy way to cover up uneven or damaged walls. The Popularity of Woodchip Wallpaper in the UK While the actual years of the political Regency were 1811-20, various dates are given for the Regency Style. The most prevalent dates are 1783-1830, or 1800-1830. Some historians extend the Regency Style into a late phase, 1830-37, which spans the reign of George IV’s brother and successor, King William IV.

(F-11 6272) George, the Prince of Wales, was born the eldest son of King George III. From an early age, the Prince became disaffected with his role: he was denied any extensive education or foreign travel, and not permitted active service in the military. Deprived of all appropriate occupations, he turned to the pursuit of pleasure, distressing his father with his fondness for wine, women, and conspicuous consumption. Over time, George became a sophisticated patron of the fine and decorative arts, and he did much to encourage noteworthy innovations in English architecture and decoration. The Regency Style owes a great debt to George’s active patronage during his years as Prince, Regent, and King. Glover, Michael. The Napoleonic Wars: An Illustrated History, 1792-1815.

Furnishings in sets can be freely rotated and moved within the circular boundary without causing the set to no longer be considered a set. The Empire Style was born from the merger of art and personal aspiration. France’s Emperor wanted a new look: the resultant innovative designs were clean and severe and bear the stamp of Napoleon’s preference for masculine and military effects. The Emperor chose two ambitious visionaries, Charles Percier (1764-1838) and Pierre-Léonard Fontaine (1762-1853), to be his official architects and decorators. They published Recueil de décorations interieures in 1801 and again in 1812, making it the most influential pattern book of the Empire Style. Percier and Fontaine made important innovations within the Louvre and the Tuileries, and their decorative program was carried out in such royal residences as Malmaison and Fontainebleau. If the player attempts to move a furnishing that is part of a set, the player has the option to either move the entire set or the individual item itself. Choosing the latter and then attempting to move the item more than halfway out of the set's circular boundary will cause a confirmation prompt to appear, as confirming to move the item more than halfway out of the set will no longer make the entire furnishing a set unless replaced once more.
