Oh yeah. I have the masks, everything has plastic sheeting underneath. I really have to wait for days that aren't too breezy, because of the paint coming off, plus the heat gun loses effectiveness when getting pummeled with wind. Unfortunately, calm days make for a pretty hot job for my end. The things we endure to make things right... haha After everything gets primed, then I need to work on a paint scheme. Might take another season to really get it all done.

The next time I decorate by a colour of the year will be the first time. Don't hold your breath. I have nothing against this particular colour but it doesn't work with all the things I've collected over the years, and I am not about to discard carpets bought after hard bargaining with dubious merchants in Istanbul or Islamabad because they don't "go" with a paint colour that someone voted "colour of the year." In its place, I think the colour would be quite nice (better than this years choices, certainly). It's just that my place isn't the right place for it.

I see what you mean, 2100x2100 is not huge, but its certainly workable, is this a reno and are you working within an existing structure and if so existing plumbing as well?... I still think you can have a better layout to make better use of the space, looks like you're trying to cram everything in one corner of the room with an entire wall (to the left) dedicated to towel rails?... I see you've noted bedroom and hallway at the bottom, does that mean the bedroom is only linked to part of the ensuite and if so how much of the ensuite actually connects? presumably where you'll have the cavity sliding door... my suggestion to find a way to enclose the shower a little is not only to limit water splash but also to create some privacy from the toilet in the event that both are being used at the same time, could be a bit awkward? I was thinking maybe a nib wall with glass panel on top... I would actually also consider doing a nib wall where the vanity is and have the floating vanity from the left wall to the nib wall as that little gap you've got at the moment between the vanity and the shower screen would be difficult/annoying to clean... incidentally, the 540 depth of the wall hung toilet, does that include the cistern or will that be hidden behind the ensuite wall?

It's a neat concept, but highly impractical for a wet, coastal climate of BC where I live. We could only have the wall open for roughly 4 months out of the year. And those open months would need a screen, big time. I'd forever be the one to be walking into the screen, which would bug the heck out of me (pun, lol), so I'll just pass on the whole idea. It's like the convertible car owners up here. We'll get a nice, sunny day in winter and you will see these people with their tops down, but wearing toques, lol. Or they will take the top down on the first sunny morning in spring and by afternoon it's pouring rain, again. Convertible in BC? Extremely seasonal. Convertible wall in BC? Ditto.
