Backyard

The backyard is to be divided into "rooms"

The planter boxes for the bamboos to be made out of sleepers (2.4m long) and to have 2-3 bamboos planted in the boxes to have about 8 planter boxes. These planter boxes will sit on top of the deck. The ones that are in the room without the deck will either be elevated or be sitting lower.
Cost about $500 for planter boxes
and $800-$1000 for bamboos
There will be uplights in the planter boxes

Fence will just be oiled.

Decking will spread from the end of the house to the end of the kitchen with a step down.

Under deck water tanks will be used. There will either be a trap door on the sides or on the deck. Decking will incorporate deck up lights

The deck is divided into three rooms at about 5m x 3m each.

The first room is to be the living room, if any room is to be sheltered it would be this room. Thus is is currently under debate whether or not to replant the fruit tree and plant banana trees/ Strelitliadlba or just leave it there and add a screen.
This room should have the heater hanging over head and a fire bowl in the middle with little deck chairs

Second room is the dinning room (not sure if this should be sheltered) if it is sheltered then the heater will be here....might just be beams overhead with no shelter. The dinning table will incorporate a fireburner, tepanyaki pan and a grill and stove.

Third room will be an open air outdoor kitchen with a sink, bbq and stove. On the other end a pizza oven. This is where the deck ends too.

May have a ramp down to garage (so ramp down and wooden walk way to garage door)
see bayside constructions

The fourth room is a courtyard garden especially for the third room. It will either be grassed, paved or stoned. Water feature in the middle with the entire right wall creaped with bougainvilleas. Water feature may possibily be a stone japanese lattern with water spouting out of the windows down into a grill that is covered with white pebbles.

Main Bathroom

Linen Closet

Currently the frames and doors for the Linen Closet are getting painted. So what better time to reorgnise the linen emulating martha stewart.

I love shelf Diviers especially the clear ones to clearly define the space but not be intrusive.


or using wooden shelf brackets


I have decided to group the closets item by shelf. I have 5 shelves and have grouped them as such
Top shelf: Misc
2nd shelf: Towels
3rd shelf: Sheets set
4th Shelf: Qulits
5th Shelf: Toilet paper

Each shelf will have its subdivision and be labelled
Towels: Bath Sheet; Queen Towel (Guest); Hand Towel; Kitchen Towel; Rags
Sheets set: Queen Sheet Set; King Sheet Set; Single Sheet Sets
Qulits: Queen; King; Single

Sheets set will be wrapped together in a pillow case as such

possible the entire bed range including the quilt or maybe since some are queen and some are king only the sheet set.

If drawers are required have to buy wooden pull out drawers from ikea. But not current in the plan.

Main Bedroom

Like Oprah says the bedroom should be a santuary. A place where you rest and recharge. It should re-energise you not tire you.

My room is quite large for a bedroom and it has a beautiful view of the tree in the yard. Unfortunately the curtains are always closed as people on the street can look in.

Dinning Room

My dinning room is not current used very much; the dinning area is currenly a holding room for all the tools and the dinning table is just cluttered with stuff. With the orange lino floors and the cedar kitchen cabinets; the room just feels like a orange room that smells of raisin poo from the laundry.




I would however like this area to be come the center of the house; where great meals are shared and memoriable conversations are had. Be a wonderful sunday bunch with lots of light pooring in through the glass doors or a fine dining christmas dinner under the glow of crystal chandelier.

Inspirations
Here are some of my inspirations for the room:






Fake fireplace in front of tv (but not aircon is above it)




Aspiration
Things to add to my dinning room:

Breakfast Cabinets: to hold coffee machines and toasters
Floor to Ceiling Cabinets along the side wall (not built in)
Dimensions 70cm deep x 205cm long or preferrable 177cm x 2.4m high
Probably glass cabinets display
Decision: Option 3 (to be painted white with the kitchen cabinets)

Option 1:

$499 Everyday living furniture 1600mm x 600mm


Option 2:
ebay Max bid $250 sold for $460

2400 mm long, 2000 mm high, and 450 mm deep.
Cabinets look like 40cm deep about 35cm high

Option 3:

APPROX 1850MM WIDE X 2130MM HIGH
$350

Wooden Dinning Table
Similar chairs


Rug
Tarnby Large Rug + Must remember to buy UNDERLAY


Lighting
Vintage Chandelier hanging in the middle of dinning table (not middle of the room)



Technology
40" LCd/Plasma hanging on end wall (Socket for Cabling to be installed to allow for a
Computer or X box etc to be connected to the plasma from the cabinets.

Speakers installed for music extends to the kitchen

Socket for connecting speakers also near cabinets
Socket should also allow for the plug in of the iphones.
