The treatment is steel framing, 1/2" Durock Cement Board, waterproofing and then the veneer. It is a veneer from Big Rock out of Honolulu.

I'm not an expert but if you dry line them, will the walls be able to breathe still given it is an old house? Don't you also need to baton the walls to fix it on? If so, what would the mouldings then look like? Dry lining even when painted doesn't have the look of real plaster or to me anyway (the non-expert!). Sorry, I'm just asking questions really!!

Hello Stefkhs, Most welcome, I think with some fabulous mid century pieces you can really make this into a very charming and unique property. It sounds absolutely amazing! A dream project! Do show some pics of the pool... and ask if you want any further advice. By the way the shelving can easily be obtained to make a divider... Some of the early Columbo episodes are a fantastic inspiration! LA has amazing architecture..I've been a fan since I was 9! Definitely don't plasterboard and skim over it will take away what is interesting about the whole place. Besides I think it's less work and actually will be far more appealing to a cool customer! .. :))

Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated. So I'm kind of stuck with the chaise as it is but could move it to another room (at the cost of moving the problem elsewhere). It's not actually mine so I don't really want to go to the expense of reupholstering it. The chest also isn't mine, but I'll have them both for a few years yet. If I move the chaise I'd probably have to swap it for a deep red rocking chair I have in another room (see pic), which would again influence the colour scheme. The sofa would fit under the window but there's a radiator there so it's not really ideal. I'll look into moving the TV point though as that would allow me to have chaise / rocking chair and sofa on two walls together. I agree that the blinds are an issue so I think I'll try to get either a glass covering instead, or some white blinds. I may even paint the windows white too if I'm brave enough. For the walls, I liked your mock up Carolins and the suggestions to use a light grey. That's what I was already considering. Still can't decide whether to have a dark grey feature wall, but it's tempting. I agree with the accent colour suggestions - I really like pink or yellow with grey. Carolins - where are those yellow toned cushions from? Definitely a big mirror too. Hmm decision time!
