That's a lovely home. I agree with the thread, working on one project at a time works for me too. And there's so much great advice on Houzz that helps. Here's one if you're using a builder for the renovation: https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/10-things-to-ask-your-builder-before-your-reno-starts-stsetivw-vs~27072216 if you're hiring an interior designer: https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/how-to-present-your-design-ideas-to-an-interior-designer-stsetivw-vs~28888655 and if you're doing it yourself - https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/8-popular-decorating-styles-and-how-to-bring-them-home-stsetivw-vs~31606209 Happy decorating!

Nice pool, but a shame that your neighbours can see you through the fence, and therefore, you get no privacy. If you were wanting privacy of some kind, bamboo, tikka plant or even lovely conifers will look quite nice, also as a backdrop to your pool area. I would also place a beautiful urn or two strategically near the pool, to add character and colour. I would finally add an order of large stones for good effect.

The previous suggestions are fabulous, so if you have the money, I would go with one of them. If you haven't the money, then I would do what an earlier reader mentioned and have the bed facing north near the bathroom. You can run a power cord along the floor and you can buy white plastic covers that hide the power cord discreetly on the skirting board. Then place a chair and small table beside it near the bay windows to balance the length of the room and perhaps hide the power point. This is not the best solution as it'll make the bed hard to make and have little room for a bedside table. But it is cheaper. Just an alternative. Another way to do this cheaply would be to do what Two Company's Renovations suggested but instead of building a wall using your cupboards as the wall and making your own large, bed head to cover the back of both of the cupboards. Just a thought. Still building the wall or walk in may not be as expensive as you may think. Worth getting a quote.

Hi Karly, We're loving what you have chosen so far! Although, we all have different tastes and styles - we are leaning towards Linen on this one. http://www.caesarstone.com.au/colour/2230-linen With those stunning rich Kempa floors, a warm neutral colour like Linen would work best. Contrasting white cabinetry - looks like you're onto a winner! Best, Caesarstone Australia
