Well nasmijati has much to offer. For my mind i would like to get an understanding of who you are before thinking too much ahead friendlykim. If we leave climate change, fire zones, function, ergonomics and sustainability to one side we might consider your childhood experiences, your passions, sufferings, do you like literature/ Japanese poetry? - will you have mist in the winter months? what music do you like? imagination as play in defining space, choreographing shade and light, will you have children to consider, would you consider a more elemental use of water for swimming and other opportunities in place of a lap pool? we could talk about art, what artists you love, insight beyond reason which comes through our relationship that your garden may feed your mind on a daily basis. Have you travelled? Does the north African civilization have anything to teach you for garden application? - what is your latitude? Has contemplation placed it's hand on your shoulder by this stage of your life? I should stop - for me it's not really about design, it's about the life of the mind and arousing latent, hidden aspects of who you are - your life narrative. This is how I would start making a garden for you and preferably over lunch - it is primarily about love in the end!

Stop worrying, it is a bit pointless. What will be, will be and you can’t change it. Take comfort that the eaves are not asbestos. I would have expected them to be.if there was any used in house.

Thanks Kate definitely thinking semi inset sink at LH end. then i gain 600- 800mm of bench. the mirror is on a thick , common wall so recess is not i am keen to explore. hoping its fully tiled behind the mirror. custom shaver with an exposed timber shelf at the bottom are my preference. that allows us to add another power point w usb ports inside the cabinet & keep shaver cords wtc hidden

Hello I am planning to put NSW/Coastal Blackbutt Engineered Timber flooring in corridors and main living areas on an area of about 100sqm. I am looking for advise regarding the following : 1. Which Engineered Timber Brand should I use-- ? Woodpecker ? Embleton ? Lifewood Which product do people recommend that has no issues regarding colour pattern uniformity or issues with the boards warping or a company that honours its warranty. I ahve tried to do Google Reviews of these products but its all mixed up. 2. Any recommendations on professional installers ? I am not after a budget option, I am after a good product and good workmanship that will last me a while.
