Though I don't know for certain, I think the cotton/linen shades are removable. I wasn't able to determine this by my searches. This could easily be confirmed by making an enquiry to supplier before purchase. Alternatively, a handmade one could be made removable by making shade slightly larger than frame and making ties.

For me working at home means working on things around the house like cleaning out our WIR. Keeping busy is important for everyone during what will be a very trying period in our lives, we will need to keep reminding ourselves to stay positive we will survive this together

Beacon and Bunnings are the Woolworths of lighting. Readily accessible, OK quality, reasonably priced, and very popular for these reasons. Check out the website for TecLed, who are LED specialists. They have thousands of specialist LED light fittings, better quality than Beacon or Bunnings, a good website, higher prices, and a limited number of showrooms. As with many things for your home you often get what you pay for... https://www.tecled.com.au/ Best of luck, Dr Retro Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits

adding furniture always gives a much better idea of available space and bed 4 is much too small for a living area although bed 3 without a wall and wardrobe could be used for a small TV room to open up the long hallway but i've moved bed 2 to make a MPR, added generous ceiling height biw in every bedroom (to include general storage as well as personal items) and simplified the bathrooms and the wide vanities can be used for linen..assuming that there will be a restriction of total floor area to block size i've kept this variation of your plan to 60% of the total area and think highlight windows on the south and tall wide windows above 750 off the floor on the north will allow plenty of northern light and still allow easy furniture placement, the MPR could have a western window to make the room more comfortable in cold weather and external blinds to exclude hot afternoon sun and shade blinds on the outside of the verandah would screen the sliding door but i would omit the external laundry door and the "pantry wall" as shown in Dreamers photo of my own pantry can be included inside wall cavities and needs only about 15cms depth for very useful storage
