Hi Jo, Hope you realize that Blue Pacific can grow quite large unless you have a "nana" variety. The standard plant which I have in my garden, can grow almost 2mtrs tall and spread 1.5 mtrs in every direction and very low to the ground. The area you are showing isn't very big, you may have to keep them trimmed regularly otherwise the trunk can get 20cm thick and the branches 7.5cm thick and it doesn't like pruning when it's got too big. (personal experience). good luck, Barbara

sounds like a good use of space, you could install a pull out hotel clothes line, you know the one with the round fitting on one wall with a single pull out line which clips into a fitting on the other side. Attaching some photos the first is a bathroom that I would love to use to replace our existing ensuite (without replacing the window) which is as you enter the WC is behind the door to the left, right side is a nearly sunken bath with shower plus a large sliding window beside the bath, we think the architect hadn't allowed enough showering space so by adding the window gave extra width. Then we have a full width vanity and mirror on the third wall. The last should have a swimming pool style hand rail. Did you build your house, would love to see some more photos of the bathroom etc. cheers

Some great bones to work with - love your leather sofas! Our suggestion would be some carefully chosen pieces to add personality and texture. Art is a very personal choice, but it's a great idea to start with a piece you love, and work the rest of your room around that. Our contemporary perspex artworks would look fabulous in your style of setting - a treescape such as this one would tie in with the natural tones and organic feel you've created. We create each piece bespoke, to order, and you'll find photos of a variety of work here on Houzz, and much more in our online gallery: http://www.signarure.com.au

there are ironing board hangers that can be screwed to the back of a solid door or wall or try inside a wardrobe and save the ironing for a long session less often so that you only have to set up the big ironing board occasionally ...i also have a small folding ironing board that can be used on top of the kitchen bench or table in emergencies but our best decision was to reduce the amount of ironing by installing a hanging rod above the washer (a simple metal shower curtain track with DIY telescopic attachment about $20 from big hardware) and i hang up all "ironables" and careful folding straight off the line or out of the dryer always aiming to avoid a basket of crushed clean clothes that have to be ironed,
