The house might be real, but the image is not. The plants on the left by the sand is a poor blend, the trees in the distance have too hard an edge with the sky, the shadows on the left of the house lack a gradation, the depth of field is off, and the colours overall are too saturated.

i'm so pleased you like my suggestion..i much prefer separate toilets especially when there's just enough space for a tiny handbasin and pretty mirror...and, if renovating was easy it wouldn't be so interesting! In a similar situation we removed the timber floorboards, installed new plumbing, added cement sheeting over the wooden floor joists to meet the old concrete slab, installed the new walls, installed the new electrical wiring, waterproofed the whole floor and then tiled...a chat with a plumber, electrician, tiler and waterproofer BEFORE you rip out anything is always worthwhile. I think the odd windows add to the interest of what you'll have converted and i'd keep them as is...The savings for not changing the window could easily pay for your new vanity or all your new taps or have you considered under tile electric floor heating?...we look forward to progress reports

Hi, where do you live? If you're in Melbourne, this place was just amazing: http://www.urbanedgeceramics.com.au. There is a lot here that is certainly upper price ranges, but there are also more affordable options (i.e., that are equivalent to the mainstream shops - where our range was firmly placed!). They'd be able to show you all the Marrakech/Moorish/etc., themes they have to help you decide. The show room is a little like a gallery..... Good luck.

Kate, are you able to post a picture of the internal bathroom that you say is too sterile. I also am having an internal bathroom and trying to decide tile heights. I have been given two different sets of advice on what to do. Feature tile is above a vanity with a round mirror skewed To left of vanity. My bathroom is only 1.55m deep. Tiles will be vertically stacked on feature wall using vanilla Brickart tile. Tile shop says to take feature tile to wall height of 2.7m and wrap it around walls just section where vanity is and then wall height in shower and no other tiles on wall. Tiger says to ceiling will be too much. Feature tile is creamy pale grey above timber vanity. It is always easier to decide what looks good for someone else as compared to self.
