[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 181052, member: 746"] As you say, much of this is doable. I'd focus on recreating the most iconic rooms: the living room, dining room and foyer. I'd recreate the kitchen. I'd redecorate the existing den in the style of Jock's study from the early seasons; it wouldn't be laid out the same but it could have some resemblance. I agree that there needs to be a butler's pantry adjacent to the dining terrace. I'd make the small area behind the living room a mudroom with access to the garage. Upstairs I'd recreate J.R.'s bedroom, John Ross' nursery (the early version with crayon-drawing wallpaper and yellow trim) and the hallway. That would probably leave only enough space for one additional bedroom; I'm not sure if I'd make it Bobby and Pam's (the early version with yellow wallpaper) or Miss Ellie's (the later version, the first version appears to be J.R.'s room redressed).
