When you render the bricks I would consider leaving some of them exposed here and there - that reminds me of old Tuscan buildings! I would include some large terracotta pots with olive trees or lemon trees, also as others have suggested some brightly coloured geraniums in hanging baskets against the wall or in terra cotta pots. Here are a couple of shots of my back deck (which isn't looking its absolute best) but to give you an idea of the large pots and colour. You have a beautiful spot to work with good luck! Sue

brick wall so no option for cavity sliders gas heaters are already in that middle wall as marked, old heaters i think i need to service them as not sure when its serviced last also has two split aircons on both rooms on the far end no weather seals on entry doors, i can feel cold air is coming under some doors, where can i get the seals or is there someone who can come nd check all doors/windows and seal them tin flat room with not much space in between. I think there is insulation in the middle if not its very hard to do anything without opening up the roof sheets. We have double roller blinds on one side. No curtains on patio door(kitchen).

Hi all! Thanks so much for for the comments. Things look much clearer now :) The other walls will be plain white matt tiles 60x30 cm and the floor very pale matt gray , ceiling white, so very similar look like the photo. Bath tub white free standing, all fitings stainless steel and quite minimal. The vanity might be in light timber but I might keep it white. The mirror will be large (not massive) and will reflect the wall nicely, at the same time will make the room look bigger . I don't renovate the unit for sale, but even if we do down the track the colors/pattenrs are not too striking so I'm sure they will be appealing. The builder had said the same thing about the new types of grouting , so I won't worry too much about it anymore. I've decided to go with the wall behind the tub/shower. With some plants on the window as I have now, I can see it looking qute nice and warm. I personally dislike bathrooms in cream or gray tones that look like hotel bathrooms without character that are there only to serve a purpose. Cheers!

As in our house because the wall at the end of the passage was only a doorway space from the Arch there wasn't any load bearing problem Check with council to see if you can find any old plans, the Archway to the bathroom could be just because you could or that space had a different use a lot of bathrooms and kitchens were at the rear of house the house during that period
