Australia has nice examples of painted and rendered Art Deco homes. If it was a different kind of brick I would say keep it, but I think painting/rendering would really brighten the place. I love the windows. Although all pics here don't exactly match your style, they are all of that era. As mentioned in above comments, there are mix of landscaping styles that suit from conifer/gravel/grass to cottage rose garden to an Australian native garden. Do what reflects you and how much time you have for your garden.

Thanks all. I love Cool, Calm, Collected - it's only a suburb away from where I live... their prices are normally $$$, but they have beautiful stuff. I actually already have that West Elm light fitting in my stair case! (How embarrassing) - I love it (and they actually have it in brass in the USA but not here). Whoever suggested light in the box, thanks, I don't think I've seen that site before. I quite like this one from there: http://www.lightinthebox.com/american-creative-personality-living-room-dining-room-villa-art-pendant_p4587353.html?pos=ultimately_buy_2&prm=1.3.5.0 The search will continue! And I will still curse some of those US website for their beauties :P

No, I enjoy a lot when I am going shopping. I also enjoy online shopping. For both options, you can choose many items. But mostly I prefer online shopping which you gives you many options to buy items.

No! Some would have you believe these tiles are more appropriate for circa, very late 1800 through to 1920's eras. [ Personally, I'd also dispute those claims too] I definitely agree with the comments of Dr Retro House Calls, however, I would like to add that you don't have to be rigid in your approach. If you like these tiles over everything else you can find, then use them for goodness sake. There are no rules to say that you must adhere strictly to everything 1960's. If you want to have a 'feel' of the 60's era about the bathroom, then find something else that will give that 'hint'. It could be as simple as the use of the paint colours of the era, or an art piece that ties the room back. Or perhaps the light fittings or the curtains. The choice is yours. Just DO IT WELL, so that the whole room feels united, cohesive and in harmony with itself. I am in the process of finishing off my property, having renovated the inside and am now working on the landscaping. [I'm hoping to have photos soon, to show off the place on Houzz] My theme has been 'loosely' based on the Arts and Crafts movement but the only thing genuinely true to that era is that I have used William Morris Drapes to inspire the cohesive effects of my efforts as shown in my sample board below. Make your project, your take on the 60's and own it. :-)
