Thank you very much for your advice. I like your thinking and can develop my planting with your suggestions in mind. Confirming what type of pot colour has been a big plus in my search. I have planted some nasturtiums for a bit of summer colour, and hope the Shasta Daisies will also give a bit of show. It is in a hot dry place enduring Queensland 35-40C in summer, so the pretties, bulbs, azelias etc are all in winter/spring here, and summer is over to the more hardies. I take your point about the bare time between flowering, and as it is in the entrance to my yard, I am trying to make it inviting all year round. Much appreciate your advice Thanks I

nope my pet hate is fake flowers I love real ones not just for looks but also their beautiful scent..fake ones has no soul.. when I'm home I buy 1-2 bunches a week $25 and arrange them..can split them into 2-3 vases around the house.. they make me happy and well $25 for a week of happiness is definitely worth it..

Vu you have no photos saved in your idea books. The best way to get ideas is not just to ask random people here on houzz as we have no idea of your taste or preferences. Search here on houzz for bedroom photos and save them to an idea book in Your Houzz. Then people can view them and get an idea of your likes and preferences and give you more detailed advice. Go to it and find those photos! First go to the home page, click on photos then bedrooms, and search for your dream bedroom. You can refine your search for a modern or traditional look etc. Choose a photo by pressing save and save it into your idea book. Hope this helps.

@bigreader i'm not a fan of built in or back to wall baths. Functionally i get why they are used but i just don't like the look of them. 
 @Ken Evers Thanks this is what i'm after some practical experience with people who have lived with this setup. As it seems to be a mixed bag, people who has said yes it's an issue but are guessing having no lived in this setup and some people who have lived with it and said not a big issue, but sometimes they are defending their choices lol. The existing bath has a drain that sits close to the wall at the same end as the shower due to the curve of the new bath this could be utilized as it would not be blocked but it would be hidden the idea was to use this as an additional drainage point with no additional plumbing. between the shower / bath section and the rest of the bathroom there will be a floor to ceiling screen approx 1000mm in length, where the current shower is that waste will also be used in addition as this will sit neatly under the floating vanity that's going in. In regards to the tiler i have used him previously and was very happy with his work, that said outside of waterproofing your right, How the water flows is a quick way to kill a good looking bathroom. The biggest concern i had was on the far side of the bath between the wall and long side. So for example against that wall? Idea is to have it slightly raise as per this photo gradient for a lineal drain. A small waste is already in this location so it was going to be used for additional drainage with something like this which is sitting under the floating vanity and in the gap between bath and wall. @Kate Yep there is some compromise we are just trying to determine how much of an issue this is for people who have actually had this layout?
