I don't think I could cope with an open plan bathroom, I like wet areas to be totally separate, the steam entering the bedroom would be of concern and I would not want to even think about a toilet. We did not even like the idea of having the ensuite opening directly off the bedroom, instead have the dressing room opening off it with the ensuite opening off that. Having the dressing room between the ensuite and bedroom totally minimises noise. I find it far more convenient to walk from the shower directly to the dressing room to dress without even going into the bedroom.

Wow! Love everything you have done. Kudos to the demolition of extra bedroom in order to reclaim the outdoors. Great job.

Dear Carol, sorry it took me a while to write back - I have been away a bit lately. Yes the reno cost on this particular project was fairly high. To do something high end in a 3 bedroom unit you may need about $500,000.00 for kitchen, bathroom, laundry, custom cabinetry through out, new flooring, painting, furniture, window coverings etc. This renovation was absolutely everything. Similar to building a new home. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Kind regards, Jodie

Hi Emily, All along the process the owners idea was to have the curved arches and as much as we tried to disuade her from that she was adamant... Once completed we all had to agree that her vision was spot on and it suited the property perfectly... The fireplace was actually already there and exactly as you see it - we didn't even paint it - we did however close in an opening to the right of it and created the entrance you see to the left.
