We have every intention that our recent purchase - Loch View Cottage, Carbost - will be refurbished and ready for holiday letting from early 2013, so work in underway now.
We have local tradesmen, Nick and Alistair, at work opening up an archway between the kitchen/dining room and the lounge. This will give the impression of a much bigger living space, and will also enable people in the kitchen to see the view, and communicate with people in the lounge. We'll be blocking off the door from the hall into the lounge too as it will no longer be needed.
I have started work on stripping out the bathroom. It's a small room, so we are not going to replace the bath, going for a large shower cubicle instead. There's new bathroom furniture on order too, then the room will be re-tiled and a new floor laid.
We have a few new items of furniture to source, and together with a few of our own 'little touches' the rest will stay as it was for 2013. Maybe next winter, the kitchen will get re-fitted and we will go for new carpets throughout - that all depends a bit on finances!

If you have any spare time I have two bathrooms that need refitting!! Well done on getting started so quickly - you put us to shame as we are still trying to choose our fixtures and fittings.
Maybe it's not so difficult choosing for a place that you are not actually going to live in... we just go for what is popular, assuming that then, the majority of holidaymakers will like what we have fitted!
