Norma, sometimes people have no choice! That old saying might apply here of "If you haven't got something nice to say" ...... Anyhow - Love love LOVE this bathroom, good job guys! If I had have seen it before I started mine, I would have ripped some ideas!

Hi marciey. Just to confirm, you want bookcase along the entire back wall (where buffer currently is located)? i would be inclined to have bookcase (with adjustable shelving) purpose-built across ONLY that back wall; however, with stepped depth. By that I mean only 43cm deep to begin with at both ends, then graduate to say 50-55cm across most of the length. This way, the bookcase will be symmetrical and it addresses the shallower aspect where back wall meets the wall with window. i believe you will find you want to place other larger objects on the bookcase shelves, which is why I suggested the graduated depth. You might also consider cabinet doors to the lower section of bookcase, as it can get dusty near the carpeted floor, and you may want to simply conceal some items. i like what you have done with this room, and a bookcase will certainly enhance it further. May I suggest the new unit be painted to match your beautiful shutters? I think it would look sensational. the reason I did not suggest the bookcase unit to include the wall opposite the window is that it will shrink the size of the room and you may, in time, find that undesirable. Do you have a great number of books and actually require that additional storage space for them?

Your floor and other wall colours are great but Red (orange), black and white are very harsh together, the wall cabinets either side of the range hood have been badly installed, they should have been built to the ceiling. My suggestion is because the kitchen is small, I would remove the cabinets either side of the range hood and then run a row of white cabinets across above the sink to the end of the bench top. Paint the walls white or a soft grey, the range then becomes a stand alone feature. You didn't mention what the splash back material is but I would consider a clear mirror splash back along behind the sink and up to the base of the new white cabinets so that you're not just looking at a wall. cheers

some photos would explain the dilemma
