Hi Amie, I'm a completely unprofessional Houzzer lol but just thought I'd make a couple of suggestions ok? Would you consider swapping bed 4 and the rumpus? Then you could add your sliding doors to maintain privacy/close off the bedroom/bathroom section whilst leaving your rumpus open to connect with your meals/kitchen/family/alfresco space? If not and you are leaving the rooms as is, I'm not sure I would close it off as the rumpus to me tends to be a more open space? As for the space (I think previously a WIL) at the front of your main bedroom, oklouise has been such an amazing and wonderful help on my ensuite/master bedroom plans and she has designed yet another amazing plan for us, complete with a sit down dressing table in our WIR. I'm just wondering if you could do the same with that space for you which you would access from within your master bedroom? Could be a great use of that space for you.... oklouise comes up with great ideas! :) Good luck Amie - looks like a great plan.

Depending Regs, L would have both properties with double garages, parking is gold in Sydney, it would also make both driveways safer with better visuals. Th existing house is like small boxes, certainly doesn't need or have the space for a WIP, better to enlarge the living area this is a 4 bedroom house. The pantries could continue along the kitchen wall and would only need to be 300 - 400 deep for better storage and access without having to install draws for deeper 600 to work efficiently, also allows more floor space for the dining. 4 bedrooms with no Master? but a WIP?, I could live without either. The New build I would chaange so that it flows better, Kitchen and Alfresco together next to pool The Master with balcony, that space could be better used as a study, once again like the glass doors opening to the pool done with done with Juliet style glass across them, still have the feel of a balcony. Forgot to mark internal access from the new builds garage , they both should have that. good luck

Paint the fence a dark colour,and if possible also the neighbours wall. Paint the concrete and deck the same colour. Install rectangle planters full of real greenery and colourful plants. The dark fence will make the plants stand out. There is no obvious view, I suppose if you go right to the corner there may be. But the photos do not show any easy seen view, so concentrate on the deck, not the view. White patio furniture and a cantilever umbrella would be very inviting.
