I'd like to help you with an artwork for the wall if you are open to it. I do commission works and exhibit in galleries - It seems artists have done a good job at implying art is wildly expensive - my aim is to make art inclusive, authentic and affordable. You can even pick the price of a commissioned artwork and we can work together to create something right for the space and budget. If you're keen, I'm happy to have a chat. You can contact me via my website www.janamcleod.com :) An artwork can transform a space and lend to it an atmosphere. It is uniquely yours and can connect you to a time, place, thought or feeling. In any room an artwork can add a sense of wonderment...

G'day Folks, My wife and I, like Jess (Strons) am a very proud owners of Nore Furniture, still used daily, and purchased in the late 70's! The collection includes a dining Table/dining and lounge chairs, coffee/lamp tables, and a Buffet. Interstingly, when we have visitors, the two Nore lounge chairs in the lounge are always taken before the modern lounge suite is used. (which annoys me, as the Nore furniture are the more comfortable by far) The remaining items are used in our Family/Ding area. Due to having constant use over the last 6 years with grand children, several of these magnificent pieces of Art are needing a little lift, re damaged finish. If your father does remember the stain details, I would appreciate his advice! The pride, skill, and love that went into this furniture still shines thru to this day! Cheers Dennis

The previous suggestions are fabulous, so if you have the money, I would go with one of them. If you haven't the money, then I would do what an earlier reader mentioned and have the bed facing north near the bathroom. You can run a power cord along the floor and you can buy white plastic covers that hide the power cord discreetly on the skirting board. Then place a chair and small table beside it near the bay windows to balance the length of the room and perhaps hide the power point. This is not the best solution as it'll make the bed hard to make and have little room for a bedside table. But it is cheaper. Just an alternative. Another way to do this cheaply would be to do what Two Company's Renovations suggested but instead of building a wall using your cupboards as the wall and making your own large, bed head to cover the back of both of the cupboards. Just a thought. Still building the wall or walk in may not be as expensive as you may think. Worth getting a quote.

Hi Ginny, What a great room! Artwork always adds personality, ambience and interest to a room. Please see attached some images of your room with some original artwork by Australian artist all of which are available on hatch-d. Artwork depends on your personality and the size and lighting in your room. I'd be very happy to help you find the right pieces for your room at a great price. Just email me through the website and we can start an obligation free conversation. Best, Jacqui
