You may note there is no screen wall in front of the powder room, but we realised that if we had a fixed wall there it would make it very difficult to move furniture into the main living area or the kids area. So what we have decided to do is to buy a second front door that compliments the one we will have on the entry. We will mount it where the screen wall would have been on hinges so that it can be folded back against the entry wall when we need to move stuff through that area, and have it fixed with a clip on the floor the rest of the time.
We also decided to go with raked ceilings through the meals / living area to give this part of the house a really open area feeling.
The changes to the robe and ensuite added another 0.5m onto our bedroom so I have my hotel size bedroom with a great view of the backyard and down the hill.
And the bottom level. The laundry trough we are getting looks like a kitchen sink only deeper, so when we put extra cabinets in down in the games room area it can double as a kitchenette sink.
We decided to put the laundry / back door out to the area under the house so that when the weather was bad we could have a 2nd washing line under there for drying washing, The area under here is also big enough that if in the future we wanted to put in a granny flat we can.
And finally this is roughly what it will look like. So now happy with the plan, we have committed ourselves to the other half of our ridiculous debt. Now the wait - roughly 6 weeks to get the mortgage approved and documents through council. Steve reckons we will be in before Christmas - we will see!!
