Hi Shirley ,Are you asking for advice for a future project or is this a completed job .

By removing the upstand from the peninsula, and making into a full bench, this will dramatically improve the perception of more space. I notice the microwave is on the bench, because it will not fit in the space provided. I would work something out for your microwave, so it is off the bench, this will give you more bench space. The glass fronted Cabinets are wasting precious storage. Put solid doors on them, this will then give you space for storage. Or even a spot for the microwave. It appears that you have plenty of cupboards and a good size pantry. Why do you want to make it bigger. Do you have items that require storage?

Thanks! We do really love the pressed metal and weatherboard. It would be a shame to cover them up. So it Would be okay to have the weatherboard suddenly change into a dry wall ceiling and then on the side have pressed metal? do we even need even a small border or something? I kind of like how the ceilings themselves denote the old rooms of the house. It’s a nice reminder. noted re floors. We will just replace the shoddy ones. agree re floating floors. thanks so much!

all the different plans are to help illustrate benefits and disadvantages of each but, correct dimensions of the bedroom now alters every plan and the problem with the second idea is that the shower won't be happy against such a low window and, assuming the floor is concrete, the toilet is harder to install away from an outside wall and, although the bedroom door isn't moved, the door into the new ens would have to be moved so, back to my original suggestion with correct dimensions..despite the wardrobe potentially making the room feel a little cramped, having the storage against the hall side is more out of the way, doesn't alter the bedroom door, the two doors into the old bathroom and wiw can be converted into a central cavity slider, the shower is away from the window, the toilet is next to the outside wall, there's more walking around space, room for a bedroom chair and there's 2.6m of storage wall ..
