Hi Houzzers You have all been so kind with your design advice, and helped us come up with this design. I think we are nearly there, and are pretty happy with the result...we still ended up with the door into bedroom from hall....but think it will be ok.....may swing the door the other way...will put doors on bathroom and sitting(not shown) I like the 2 dressing areas we have created either side of our wardrobes, and the seperate toilet. Very happy for any other input on this design before we send it off to the builder!

Hi Luke, these photos are of vertical gardens using artificial plants, pretty amazing what is available now, I am a gardener and love the real thing but these are incredibly real looking and give instant impact, it all depends on the time and maintenance that you have available to put into caring for the wall, once let go they can deteriorate very quickly

As per Siriuskey. Get out you pencils and see what works on your facade, I would also introduce some flower beds to add colour, maybe a small tree

Pottsy99 - here’s the pic I wanted to share. My original Reno floorplan - minimum disturbance of existing asbestos cladding inside & out - but extending footprint requires council approval so I reworked it into the floorplan I posted here I the first place. Thanks for your suggestions. That kind of thing is down the track at some point!
