HA!! The latest builder I've just gotten off the phone with said the two balconies and the deck should all be joined into one massive sup a-deck.................

I did try to explain the "sliding door open at night idea" to utilise breezes without needing to have access to the two bedroom balconies......
But he thought I was just silly.......

I remember doing that - best way is to see it on other houses.

very nifty wall shelves... but why not just have the shelving? I guess it is to avoid the cluttered look....

Umm, so it looks tidy. And the boys don't get embarrassed with all the feminine products in the 'shelves'
Now I know why your hubby insisted on 3 met wardrobes, so he doesn't get to see all your shelves!!!!
