I have the magnetic knife holder and love it. I hated digging into a drawer full of knives and didn't want to have the places where you store them in the drawer cause mine are always a different size and don't fit and then I end up with empty spaces and knives in drawers. Same for the knife block, plus I don't want to take that mush space on the counter top. I have multi colored pastel colored knives on mine and they're so pretty and I can grab when I need one.

Are we just talking wall tiles here? What are you looking at for floor tiles? I'm thinking in terms of mixing gloss and matte in both rooms to tie them together and keep your customer happy but giving each bathroom its own character without being too different ................ if that makes sense.

Sheers would look wonderful. I suggest to have the curtain rail installed just below the cornice. This will make the window appear taller, and look better.

And to answer your question siriuskey. Yes the front room has been opened out into a verendah. This room got really hot in summer so wasn’t working as another living space. We’re restricted to what we can change at the front of the house as we are in a heritage area. We can make changes without a DA if we don’t change the front of the house. Agree we can change a lot with a wooden house, but I think we’ll be restricted on reusing windows. All our casement windows are original glass from the 1930s so won’t be to modern building code. If we move them, they’re gone. However replacing with modern glass would bring more light into the home. We’ve put fans in all rooms and always have the French doors open in bed 2 so light and ventilation haven’t been an issue. Might become so if we put a moody teenager in there though!
