Kiwi - shhhh, you are casting light on the extent of my stalking!
Thanks BradS! No idea of the wash closet origins, I just grew up calling it that - British family though. We are pretty much Bowral, did you grow up in the area? We thought about opening up the living area, but wide open spaces = lots of space to heat! The front living area we are planning on using as formal dining, so the rumpus will (eventually) be a playroom type area.

Welcome, and congrats on buying in the Southern Highlands. I have family in Bowral and i love it down there. I would have moved there myself but we work in the CBD and its just a tad to far to commute
What the hell is W.C.? I know its the toilet room but i cant figure out the acronym lol
As for the plans, i reckon opening up the rumpus to the family would make it look huge. Not everyone likes that though. Otherwise it looks quite interesting
W.C. = water closet.

The mortar is just the bog standard mix. I figuire that by the time our verandah goes on and the garden matures the brick won't be that visible anyway!

oh thank you! I thought maybe I was being rude by asking. Gorgeous ladies, even with the wind! And lucky to get bed AND breakfast, our guests have to rely on my DH if they want to be fed!

More colours:
Bathroom/Ensuite/Laundry floor: nero (pretty much just matt black) Wall tile: matt white Feature tile (to go in shower recesses): riverstone - to be sealed! [ img ] I am trying to copy one of the local spas, lots of naturals! And I figure if we hate the feature over time, it will be easy to update if everything else is kept plain.
Paints - Walls: dulux male half Skirting: Antique white USA Cornices: Natural white.
