@ EMILY! Thanks so much for showing us all that you've accomplished...what a big...ongoing job and its not cheap undertaking something like that. Thanks for the tip about the star jasmine...I have a beautiful planting of that.....or rather 'had'...I got a chap in to trim it for me who advertised himself as experienced....Oh Dear! He killed most of the vine by cutting it at ground level! Now its a brown horrible mess up a tall trellis and no privacy. I'm devastated. To make it worse the neighbour sits out on her back deck and calls out to me when I'm out there when before she couldn't see me.....I'm putting up atemporary reed screen...I think....would rather my star jasmine with the blackbirds nesting in it....I know the feeling of not jumping in in case one makes a regrettable mistake. I also had gardenias but once they get sick its not worth all the trouble. I've had to learn heaps about what plants are appropriate for my place and I've made some really silly mistakes too. I've never seen those cut laser panels before and am a bit intrigued. What are they used for,,outdoor lighting? That colourbond fence works really well as a privacy screen! You've done so much and have invested not only your hard-earned money but also your ideas! Hope you have some lovely times in your space.

I keep it on the counter, on a pretty cake pedestal, next to my tomatoes. I don't eat it all at once so need a place to keep it until all used. If it sits around too long it starts to smell strongly of garlic, that's when I know it has gone off. Otherwise it does not have an odor, and it is very pretty in its show white gift wrap.

I have an iron pot holder hanging from the ceiling, I don't hang my pots because they don't have holes in the handles and are way too expensive to drill into. I hang baskets and utensils, plus a few vintage copper pieces like jugs I sometimes use for flowers, and a vintage copper colander. I use the baskets to harvest produce and flowers from the garden. I have a vintage kitchen with not many drawers, have had to be creative about utensil storage.

i love my drop in tub with under bench washer and dryer but you need at least 1800mm width to make that work. Tracey's suggestions with the built in shower, stacked washer/dryer and bench with drop in tub with wall cabinet or shelf look ideal but only a plumber can really say what's possible and then you have to decide if the expense is worth it... much simpler would be to try wall mounted shelves or cabinet with doors and an open bottom shelf for "pretties", cut a hole in the back and side to make room for the power point and to feed the cable through out of sight. The wall cabinet would balance the look of the dryer and create some extra storage for minimal cost nb a 900 mm tall unit should be OK but make sure it's mounted high on the wall to match the top of the dryer and allows room to open the lid of the washer...good luck with it
