Love the lighting and pristine white color palette that sets off the cars and cabinets so nicely. Why not go all the way and find an inexpensive Oriental-look carpet to lay under your favorite ride? (assuming it doesn't leak oil. If it does, remember, it was a cheap Oriental-look carpet!) How about some leather stools or chairs in there too?

Keep an eye out on Gumtree and ebay - I found a second-hand $2000 Schott's vanity for $450. I did give up trying to find more vanities though, and have gone with secondhand pedestal basnins instead - they'll be supplemented by old cabinets if I can find the right ones! It is hard to find these kind of items, I've found. I found lovely things in the UK cheaper than Schott's but shipping is a bit prohibitive.

The plan looks a nightmare - bedrooms facing the street, a tiny internal bathroom with no window to the outside (is that legal?) and a "lounge" that looks like it was meant to be a third bedroom. If the internal walls are stud and don't support the roof you're in with a chance, but I'd say to do a proper job the cheap option is NOT going to work. I'd put two bedrooms where the current family room and lounge are and extend the bathroom into the boot room to give window access, or scrap the current bathroom altogether and use some of the space in what is now the kitchen for a new one. Keeping the WC separate is a good move. If you make the street side the social side of the house you can open it right out and create a big front porch that's a social spill-over from the kitchen/dining area, creating indoor-outdoor flow. Planting (two or three shade trees and some stands of tall perennials rather than a "green fence" hedge) keeps your front garden private yet inviting and stops your front porch becoming a stage set for the street. Good luck! I think you'll turn this very ordinary house into a much nicer place to live!

I mentioned earlier to think about dropping the wall next to the stairs to hip or slightly higher height to allow for the TV, as this would further open up the top floor and perhaps show the street art, ie the framed print. I know that you don't want anything else hanging from the ceiling but because of the ceiling height you will need a reverse hanging fan to bring all the warm air down into the room that will sit up there if you don't. The heater is because you had one shown in your posted floor plan, this is one of the fires available on my 1997 CAD program, that's the colour it comes in but can be changed within the program cheers
