Beautiful image. As it's so large, I'd place a timber hall stand underneath it, and lean it against the wall rather than hang it, then I'd place a collection of relevant objects on the table. 1. A lamp, perhaps a ceramic base with native American colour and shape, or simple pottery base. With a simple calico shade. A pottery or timber low tray with some tactile collectibles, like some river pebbles, different rock, a piece of and old timber branch, thats been smooth by touch, or timber carved balls. ( I know you're probably thinking what?) And lastly, I'd hang it above the picture, or rest on a table a feather headpiece. You can get these online, even I've seen them around Melbourne in odds and ends stores. Maybe if it's on your table, a timber head that milliners use for a display. You could continue this look with an Aztec looking rug or cushions to break up your leather couch. Mohair throw might look good too.

Hi Rob , You are entering an exciting time with a new home, good luck with it all . Just a couple of suggestions : (1) Any reason you are note considering an architect to be involved ? When chosen carefully they can be very cost effective , plus they will create the unique custom one off that you are after. Their design concepts will go far beyond just what the exterior looks like Rob, they will also consider ( for example) how a skillion roofline has other functional benefits like incorporating high line ( clerestory) windows that will bring fabulous light into the centre of your new home etc. They will also advise on orientation and wind etc etc and lots more . (2) Regardless of whether an architect is involved, I would suggest that you seriously consider getting someone to create a 3D walkthrough of your new home so that you can walk through and around it before you spend your money on construction. It really does let you see the visual effects, plus because the 3D is to scale , it will help you sort out any potential issues with design and /or construction in advance( i.e. saves you time and money during construction ) . The 3D's can be created once you have your plans and elevations completed. You can get the 3D's created fairly cheaply ( a few hundred $'s ) on www.freelancer.com where professionals from around the globe compete for your project . It is money well spent , and you can see the colours and textures in lifelike scenarios , so it takes away the mystery and what if's . Good luck with your project , and sorry, I don't like the dark blue at all :-) . Cheers Glenn

Walk-in-showers are great for large bathrooms, but are problematic for small bathrooms. Even more so with a timber floor which does not comply with the regulations for waterproofness for wet areas. There are regulations in place that your waterproofing will need to comply with, as set out by the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards (AS 3740-1994). You will need to do some research and speak to a professional as you are heading for disaster with the combination of a timber bathroom floor, a small bathroom, a walk-in shower, no waterproof membrane to protect the floor and no understanding of the legal requirements. Houses of the 1920's traditionally had tiled floors so I would be looking at one of my suppliers such as the Olde English Tile Company to help you source somethiing that is period appropriate and legal instead of timber floors.
