You must be really pleased with this result. Once you have the TV and fireplace in that space and your furniture around it will all come together very nicely. Congrats!

Looking at the attached photo you can see compared to close to the wall the floor tiles are streaked with white stains. I have tried using vinegar and scrubbing brush and also other cleaning products....

Could you swap the fridge with the wall oven, going by your photo both fridge and Wall Oven would fit side by side. I would definately have the fridge on the cook top wall and not on the other side of the kitchen. I see by the photo that the timber beam could be in the way, I would speak to your plumber who should have a simple solution on ducting the range hood. A simple one built into a special cabinet above the cooktop can recirculate or be ducted outside by either exposed stainless tube for your industrial/country look or have the ducting boxed in, the ducting can be flexable so no problem avoiding beams.

I think you need to rework your plan a bit. A skylight in bedroom could be problematic in summer if you want to sleep in or go to bed early. However, I agree with council saying that the room needs light and air. Is it possible to put an opening in the patio roof?
