Hi Lauren, without knowing the budget I will only give you ideas, you will have to do the leg work finding cost and available tradesmen in your area. People are correct in saying that it is best to renovate that area as that is not a nice colour design. I also dont know if you have the water heater in there (if so, go solar! or install one outside) and if there is a toilet the lay out of what i suggest will have to be rethought; Im going with that there is no heater or toilet in that area. *First off i would remove every tile, shelf, bathtub etc. Sell that vanity off and give the mirror to someone so they can do a mirror project. *Secondly i would look to see if the tubs brick work is sufficiently high and wide (increase its size will add a bit extra to the build) so you can make it into a roman style bath/shower. I my preference would be up to 50cm high. *For the next step i would look into getting either a sand stone or light grey floor tile (R10 tiles) and in a big size too (e.g 400mm x 300mm). White is fine too. Now the choice of colour for the tiling of the roman bath you can go the same colour or to add visually different style e.g. grey tiles for the floor + gloss white tiles for the roman bath + sandstone style tiles on the walls. Depending on your budget tile the walls up to the ceiling or if to costly try up to the 2m line (about the same height as the door). *I take it that the shower head and bath tap are on the window side. But something nice; meaning spend a bit of cash on these fittings. A shower head design that will go over your head and fall straight down. You can pick one up for about $300 or so. Also add a frameless glass plane that starts on the window side and comes out about 600 - 800mm (your prefence and budget on that one). It will create a clean image and you can still get in and out of the bath without moving sliding/swinging doors. The panel doesnt have to be to the ceiling but still high enough; maybe 1800mm high should be good. *Since you have removed the vanity and mirror you have brought in more natural light. On the side of the current steel sink, dryer and washing machine; put in cupboards. I will link in some pictures of inbuilt laundry ideas. Essentially hiding your stuff while giving you more storage space. Also think about putting mirrors on the outside of your cupboard doors to make the place feel bigger and give you your need for a mirror. You can either install both a laundry sink and a personal sink for brushing teeth at either end or a big porcelain (or make a DIY cement sink by viewing youtube or pinterest) sink to do the duty of both. Personally i would get both. *If you have issues with your enter door using up space; think about getting a accordian style door (they clasp in on themselves. Bunnings has some examples). Maybe go with a white top style (below) for the personal sink and laundry sink. Note the mirror doors, enclosed machines and lighting. This is the white top and bench space that would nice on that side. Also the visual effect of having the machines enclosed but still showcased. Another style. If this is all too modern for you or for the federation house then go for a similar design like sandstone coloured tiles, light grey wall tiles with a 4 legged bath tub and accompaniment brass over head shower and other brass fittings. Still have an enclosed laundry area but made more victorian like. Then next picture has only some of the points im trying to make but you can combine the 2 styles at your leisure.

Ok, leaving the laundry as is coz it's existing I'll focus on the bathroom... - not sure if the opening from the laundry to bathroom is existing too, but if not I would consider moving the doorway 'down' closer to the wall, which would make the space more workable (p.s. a cavity sliding door would work best here) - I would add a highlight window say 04x21 on the 'left'/bath wall with frosted glazing for privacy and would replicate that highlight window with clear gazing above the door/wall separating the laundry and bathroom - if this isn't the main bathroom but an additional one for guests, do you really need a bath in there?... I would swap location of the bath & vanity and have a double walk-in shower along the 'top' 2m wall, with a glass shower screen to maintain light and openness... also better for elderly guest than climbing into/over bath hob - I would put the vanity, a floating one to maintain openness, on the 'left' wall where the bath was, and I would still keep the window to the street at the 'bottom' but maybe centred on the wall could be better Hope that makes sense, let me know what you think and feasibility

i love my drop in tub with under bench washer and dryer but you need at least 1800mm width to make that work. Tracey's suggestions with the built in shower, stacked washer/dryer and bench with drop in tub with wall cabinet or shelf look ideal but only a plumber can really say what's possible and then you have to decide if the expense is worth it... much simpler would be to try wall mounted shelves or cabinet with doors and an open bottom shelf for "pretties", cut a hole in the back and side to make room for the power point and to feed the cable through out of sight. The wall cabinet would balance the look of the dryer and create some extra storage for minimal cost nb a 900 mm tall unit should be OK but make sure it's mounted high on the wall to match the top of the dryer and allows room to open the lid of the washer...good luck with it

i also think the outside stairs work better for coming home with the groceries in good weather and, having lived in a similar upstairs bedroom overheating can be a problem: use the best insulation in the ceiling, roof and walls including between the ceiling of the living areas and the floor of the top level (our top level bathroom used to get a hot floor from the heat in the roof space). Shade cloth roller blinds or shutters on the north facing window. (do you like the French balcony?) will improve comfort levels and check out "stack effect" ...having a window open downstairs and a window open on the opposite side of the house upstairs will flush out the house as hot air rises..install closing doors on stairs and hallways to reduce draughts and contain heat in cold weather and add ceiling fans to increase air circulation
