What is the purpose of the very large diameter stove pipe section.

I know that stovepipes get hot, and they need to have double walls through a floor or ceiling, but this seems excessive. Is it possibly a heat- trapping device to recirculate hot air that would otherwise be lost to the outside?

It´s not a heat- trapping device.

There are all flammable materials aound the stove pipe and the distance to the wall is the minimum. So we have stricter safety requirements in this case. To meet these requirements we need a larger diameter for the stove pipe.

I don't have the patience the read through what everyone said. But, you have a GREAT space already. The fireplace is fabulous, it only needs an wooden mantle. On that wall where you have those shelves, on half of it, you should place a book case on the entire wall, or almost (Ikea used to have them). It sounds like you ahve some readers in the household, so why not showcase your books there? Plus, it will dress that wall beautifully. You can paint the walls, or not. But if you do these two things that I mentioned, that space will look like a million bucks. A plus would be to add some lighting, but not the modern looking lamp you have there now. Something that would warm up the place, wither on each side of the book case, or by the fireplace.

We use lavender all the time for edging driveways and must have planted out a few 100 already this year - we love it and your quite right it is great for this purpose. The plants spread a good 60 - 80cm making them a lot wider than the beds in this front garden - still could work though if they are prepared to lose a fair bit of drive. As for the evergreen issue the RHS, bless em, do a great job and 'technically' - as they are bound to quote, lavender is evergreen/grey, but do present a sparse winter foliage which can look terrible if there are severe frosts - if you don't want to cut them back that is. After a couple of seasons hard pruning is recommended to stop the plants from getting woody/leggy and whilst there is debate whether before or after winter is the best time to prune, its up to the garden owner if they want to look at bare woody growth at the base/centre of the plant for the sake of a sparse spread of grey leaves through the winter. This doesn't matter so much if the lavender is part of a bigger planting composition, but on its own up against a fence our opinion is that its flowering qualities and limited foliar attributes would not warrant inclusion when other reliable evergreens such as Pittosporums 'Tom Thumb' or 'County Park' would fulfil the low evergreen role much better, leaving flowering effect to non rampant climbers such as Trachelospermum jasminoides, Rosa 'Zephrine Drouhin', and Campsis radicans with shrubs that can be trained onto fences such as Itea ilicifolia and Garrya elliptica, to quote just a few.

I too thought shutters would block out too much light, but the look when fitted is so lovely, and with wider size slats, the more light they let in. The pics below have small slats but its the same style of bay with shutters. Also don't have the push rods on the front if you want a cleaner look. Having the slats split so top/bottom open separately like pic below is also good if you want privacy without shutting out light from the top. High gloss shutters also reflect light into the room and shutters seem to go with any look, period or contemporary.

final bathroom design - semi industrial?

@Jaya Garella I wasn't 100% sure what you meant by 'the bras'? haha. none of the tiles on the mock up pic are anything I have specifically chosen - they are the least offensive on the app I had which is a house mock up program and not specifically for bathrooms. I would need a splashback with a sink unit though as that back sink/wc wall is just a wood frame at the moment so will need plasterboarding. Part of me wants to avoid the grey as although I love a rich grey, the rest of my house is off black by F&B so very dark and moody. In the tiles in a small room it might be a bit drab? I'm also struggling to find patterned tiles that I could put all over the bath wall and bath that wouldn't be too much ie too large a pattern or too small. I would then have to have maybe a wood effect (vinyl or tile) on the floor as I think pattern on the floor and bath panel and large wall might be too much? You don't see the bath wall when you walk in as the door opens to the left and hides it. Trying to find some industrial glam images of alternative options as I'm a bit stuck in a rut with it and my bathroom fitting team is a bit old school so not up on design! haha
