Thanks for suggestions so far. Unfortunately, adding a second toilet is not just possible unless I forego one of the bedrooms, which I am not prepared to do. Also, as with many terraces, the access to the courtyard at the back is through the house, and I wouldn't want a portaloo carried, or serviced via the sitting room. I have looked at all the possible options, and discussed this with several builders and bathroom designers, and other than shutting up shop here for 3/4 weeks, there is just no answer . . unless I don't disturb the waterproofing and keep everything in the same place and be happy with updating the loo, vanity etc. I am happy with the wall tiles, so it is just the floor that I would like to change. Thus the thought of tiling over what is already there . . .

Nik Star, I’m jealous of your bigger space ; ) - but so happy you have now been reacquainted with your messing tape! We are toying with the idea of putting a cavity slider in. Thank you Ripple Effekt Siriuskey - yes I really LOVE the concept of a “wet room” - Never imagined that our space was big enough for this but now seeing it’s possible, thinking about trying the bath under the window, then the shower and then vanity on the bottom left corner - just flipping yours slightly. Just trying to find a good bath that’s narrower design to allow for the biggest vanity possible. You are all awesome!

Hi AndrewJason, I love cavity sliders. they are there when you want them but not visible when you need the space open. Having said that they cost more, take a bit of wreckage to set up and in you WA case you will be wrecking brick walls to put them in which might be a stretch of mess too far. BUT you will need to weigh up if they are worth it in the end. I do not think the build will be too bulky in the kitchen/dining because it will be superbly practical on both sides and it maybe just a matter of what you are used to. Not sure about "Average Joe...…" we are all good at somethings, mine is plans, function, practicality, solar. Yours might be brain surgery, empathy for unwell folks, kinda or you make the best seafood lasagne in the world... we are all needed to make for a great world: and it really is that!!! Good luck with your splendid home: I think it is beautiful. And PS if you do make the best seafood anything I better have your address....!!!!!!! MK

Lovely retro job ! I don’t mind the shower curtain as it blends in with the tiles and is light . The only bit that I am not too keen on is the light shade . Love what you have done with the warm timber shelves and also the “ tacky “ toilet lid . You have made a fun little room !
