Hi Amy, Just a rough sketch for you. I think it would be best for you to have a desk in the living space which would be built into a cupboard so that it could be closed off when/ if needed. This is a great place to have a Desk/ Computer for when the kids get bigger and are using the computer so that you can keep an eye on them while in the kitchen/living and Alfresco. I also think you need a doorway next to the desk opening into the passage next to the Master as the other access is too far. I have changed the area next to the garage, too many angles, You have access from the garage with mudroom to drop things like school bags/coats etc and the bedroom next to the laundry is now bigger. cheers

https://www.maisonliving.com.au -have something called a 'shutter bedside table' that is similar design or many other variants that would give you a similar rustic/coastal look. Or this one is very close too https://www.hamptonsstyle.com.au/furniture/bedroom/bedsides/southampton-2-door-cabinet

Beautiful desk and room. It was probably custom made by a professional furniture maker or cabinet maker. Contact Mortice and Tenon, Armadale, Victoria, who do beautiful quality pieces and will supply Australia wide. Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

Also if i can avoid moving air con for now that would be great. The next phase of reno will be to take down the wall between lounges and put aircon on the front wall of the lounge as it's the only other outside wall it can go on. Here might be my plan for now. I'll put the kitchen in place and figure out if i need to add more storage to office area. Will add range hood and a few long open shelves like in the image below (and is also the look i'm going for decor wise)
