The mezzanine and storage spaces. Next to the mezzanine the builder installed a little door for us to give us access into the roof space. As the kids are using the mezzanine as a chill out area to watch TV play video games the storage now holds their board games, art and craft etc. The girls painted the walls to brighten it up. As the ducted system didn't work too well at the front of apartment we had to install a split system AC to cool down the study and the two front bedrooms.

You could mount a TV which can swing out from the entry wall from the main house, or on the one opposite one near the back sliding doors, or on the floor, in the corner. Depending if you need storage on the back wall, you could have your lounge at the back of the room, or have a walkway between the back wall and the lounge. An easy moving lounge is great for moving into different positions around the room. I like the idea of the bar as a drinks trolley. Actually furniture on wheels is great for rearranging whenever you like. I usually have wheels mounted to furniture as I live on my own and it just makes it so much easier. Another idea, is a buffet across the wall of the three windows and a tele positioned placed above or on where the brick wall is in the middle of the three windows, and the buffet can act as a bar and whatever else.

Hey, whatever makes them happy. Maybe they have really fond memories of The Magic Faraway Tree. Much as I wouldn't design it into my house (even though my cats would think it was totally awesome), I think its quite cool, in a weird kind of way.

You see, my kitchen isn't just where I whip up delicious meals; it's where the magic happens when friends and family come over. Picture this: it's Friday night, and the gang's all here. We're gathered around the island, sipping on cocktails and catching up on the latest gossip. The kitchen becomes the heart of the party – a place where laughter flows as freely as the drinks. And let me tell you, some of my best memories have been made right here in this kitchen. From impromptu dance parties to deep late-night conversations, it's where bonds are strengthened and good times are had by all. Oh, and speaking of good times, I recently introduced everyone to this amazing pico de gallo recipe. The fresh flavors added an extra kick to our gathering, and now it's become a staple whenever we get together.
