Wow! That is truly beautiful! You put a lot of work into that with excellent results. Sorry handymam.....even my iPad keeps changing it to handyman....?! I (we) also did out what used to be the granny flat ...in black and red for our nephew...we picked up an unwanted ....dated...lol...dressing table with an attached square mirror, painted ti all black.....hung the mirror on the wall between 2 metal candle sconces, changed the knobs to mobern handles on the drawers....it was low and retanglular...ideal to put his TV on, red shaggy rug, red lamp shade,cushions etc....he was thrilled to bits with it.

I live in the country and am completely reliant on tank water. I also have a grey water recycling system and can tell how much water has gone through it at any one time as the filters need to be cleaned after so many litres of water go through them. I can almost guarantee that the bath with a couple of grand kids splashing about for twenty minutes having fun will use less water than any of their parents showering does. Even topping it up with more hot water if needed. Unless you are very conservative with your showers baths are not that bad and the value they add to the resale of the average home outweighs any downside. I definately wouldn't buy a house without one. I have had a house that has a bath the size of the shower though, about 1m x 1m by maybe 40cm deep and I think it was called a hip bath. My sister in law has one at her house, she got it from Lanark, as her house only had a shower which is not practical and it was the cheaper option than redoing the whole bathroom. I dont know if that is what you are after or not.

First ,is removing excess furniture an option? Second, why bar fridge in the dining area, that really ruins the look. Seems that you can not move dining table closer to the kitchen because you have light pendant above the table, so can you move piano where your black couch is and couch on the other side of the room instead of creamy colour sofa . I notice the luck of coffee tables and side tables,that's probably why you like to sit around dining table, it is not visitors friendly and doesn't encourage conversation or interaction. I will come back to it have to study photos more. Are the arm chain the other room similar colour to the couch in the dining area?

what are all the walls floors and roof built out of? are the front bedroom and rear living room additions to the original house? is there a step down to the living room and what are the thick sections of wall at the end of the bathroom and study built of?...where are the original and proposed external doors to the backyard? is there a garage and driveway or any good or bad views and where would you have a dining area?.... it's important to understand the existing structure before considering changes eg the dimensions are inconsistent (varying wall thicknesses?) and you have removed sections of wall between the kitchen and lounge but these walls may hold up the ceiling and roof...do you know which walls are load bearing?
