Lovely print. I had a peacock feather print and I had a colour called glacier Grey behind. Think it was Wattyl . Again like your other walls it is a greenish grey but darker. I also had my prints on a charcoal wall..loved that too. As you said the picture ties in with the chairs and now it's not necessary to add more matching colours. I'd buy a couple of sample pots and paint large pieces of cardboard. With the other walls I would consider painting them in whisper white (Dulux) a very universal colour that ties in nicely with all colours.

Having lived for years with a front loader in the kitchen under counter and now with a good sized laundry I am resenting the laundry for the space it wastes! I would rather have a "european solution" and a good en-suit and walk in :) really it is a matter of how you want to live, in reality if you spend your life considering resale you won't enjoy your home, prospective purchasers will love or hate whatever you do, those that don't want a space solution will be the ones who want the big ensuite and robe anyway! Do it with love then others will love it too, good luck

My outlaws (mainly my mumma in law) wanted our daughters ears pierced at birth because the girls in her family were all pierced at birth so that was a battle from the beginning... I stood firm & said “no, they’re her ears, it will be Bella’s decision - when she asks for them, we’ll consider it”.... so what does Nanny do? Pull a swifty & buy earrings for our daughters fifth birthday that she can’t wear & ask us to get her ears pierced ... so Bella gets all excited & asks & asks to have them done so she can wear nanny’s earrings. I was not impressed. We spoke about it at length with our daughter & explained it would hurt & she wouldn’t be able to back out after one earring ... so for her 5th birthday, she got her ears pierced ... much to my annoyance. The piercer was the only one in town & was a moody, arrogant, know it all 20 year old... and yes, the first one hurt like mad & she cried the shop down wanting to run off before the 2nd one was done... it sucked. I would’ve preferred we wait till Bella was older but it’s done now. After her ears were pierced & she stopped crying, we celebrated with donuts & milkshakes lol. It didn’t stop her from wanting to rip them out the first few days. She loves them now though .... but a very bad age to get it done. Stick to your guns - but if you’re happy & supportive for her to make that decision & get them done, make it a week before a special occasion? So the shock has worn off & she’s in love with her ears once more :)

Is the first pic you posted an older one , maybe off the for sale ad ? It looks several shades yellower , but the gardens are quite different too . So that leads me to conclude it is fading on its own account -- that makes it easier IMO , just do nothing and it'll fade more ! Buttery yellow and brown were 80's , and pretty naff now , but instead of black , I'd go a Japanese Black -- a bit more matt , even blue hues there too -- more interesting , again just my opinion . The terracota does look slightly out of proportion , but lighter walls , darker trim and the orangeness of the terracota for interest would be my go , but then I'm not a fan of too much white on walls -- I'd prefer the 'relaxed casual' of a beige , jap black and terracota to crisp whites . I also assume that timber and the area to the 'right' of the stairs is the area closest to the street ? No matter what you do ( I'd go Jap Black stain on the wood , but do what YOU want ) I'd look at a bark garden or rock garden , with probably cactus and flax and reds and yellows and greens -- the timber looks too much in proportion to the render in the picture , so i'd soften that ( basically hide part of it ) . I like the character and it can get even better -- a great base ! Well done !
