Hi Ralph, thanks for your enquiry. The 'separate bar' that you refer to is called a Mid Rail. A mid rail adds structural reinforcement for shutters that are over a certain drop (height). For Basswood (timber) plantation Shutters a mid rail is mandatory for all shutters > 1800 mm and 2 x mid rails for shutters > 2400 mm in height. For PVC shutters, 1 x mid rail is mandatory > 1500 mm and 2 x mid rails at > 2100 mm. In addition you can also request a "Split tilt" this means that the shutters can be separated into sections that are operated separately. So you can open the top half, keeping the bottom half closed for shutters that don't require a mid rail. Alternatively if you have a mid rail that is lower down in the window, you can opt to have a split tilt above the mid rail. Your shutter will therefore have 3 areas that open and close separately. I hope this answers your questions? For more information, please visit our website - https://www.iseekblinds.com.au/plantation-shutters.html. Here you will find all the information and guidance required on How to Measure and Install your shutters as well as a Panel layout chart to assist in understanding the best solution for your windows.

sounds like a good use of space, you could install a pull out hotel clothes line, you know the one with the round fitting on one wall with a single pull out line which clips into a fitting on the other side. Attaching some photos the first is a bathroom that I would love to use to replace our existing ensuite (without replacing the window) which is as you enter the WC is behind the door to the left, right side is a nearly sunken bath with shower plus a large sliding window beside the bath, we think the architect hadn't allowed enough showering space so by adding the window gave extra width. Then we have a full width vanity and mirror on the third wall. The last should have a swimming pool style hand rail. Did you build your house, would love to see some more photos of the bathroom etc. cheers

Hi there, Your couches are gorgeous. Just quickly, I’d swap the dining table and two single yellow arm chairs. Then I’d rotate the table 90 degrees if possible. I think if I were going to make any furniture purchases I would first replace all the dark furniture (dining table and bench seats) with white furniture to help bounce some light around. Dark furniture absorbs light like crazy. Thoughts on the kitchen reno would be to keep the bench top and splashback white and then accent with yellow and black. Timber usually softens and warms a space so maybe something like that for the cabinetry but timber isn’t the only finish to provide that feel. This leads into my next thought that white, black and deep yellow can appear quite harsh so maybe some some soft furnishings like some fluffy pillows and rug and a couple of throws might help bring some gentleness and cosy-ness into the space. All the best with it and love to see what you do with the space.

The new work looks tight and awkward, so I hope everybody in your home is skinny and happy to walk sideways like a crab! My main concern is the relationship of the toilet to your living area, and the line of sight to the toilet pan from the front door if the laundry door is left open. Without knowing the size of your home, the number of members in your household, and the number of bathrooms, I would be examining if I really need a tiny bathroom at that end of the house, so a full house plan would be useful. It looks like you are making a lot of compromises (and a lot of expense) to achieve a walk-in-pantry, which is not the most efficient way for storage when things are tight. I would save the wasted floor space in a walk-in-pantry and spend some money on the more space-efficient pull-out pantry option. Remember to think about the function of spaces, and their relationship to adjoining spaces, and how they are going to be furnished and used. This is one of the reasons why people engage design professionals. Best of luck with your redesign, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits

Open Vs 'closed' kitchen - design help needed
Q

@siriuskey - Brand new build. No house plan yet. This will be one 'pavillion'/box that contains living room, dining room, kitchen/scullery/butlers pantry, powder room, laundry,/mudroom/ storage and possibly wine storage/bar area. It will probably run north/south with the living in the north and mudroom/laundry in the south. Laundry needs to be on the south/east side as that is where our existing drying garden is and our sleeping pavilion/pod/box will be on the east. The mudroom needs to be on the south/west as that is the side we come in from the paddocks to the back of the house. We are a large working farm. we grow our own food and kill our own meat so we have several chest freezers and an extra fridge that will go in the mudroom/laundry area. The butler's pantry or part of the kitchen needs to attach to that. There also has to be access from the west from the garage either to the mudroom door or into/near the kitchen. I know what we want/need, I just can't visualise how to arrange it all so it works. I guess that's where designers step in. At this stage we're kind of working on a 7.5m wide box of yet to be determined length.
