Hi Don't know if it's feasible or not but have been doing it for many years..I keep a 12x20 shadehouse and a 8x15 aviary. The shadehouse is mainly for my tropical plants but also contains a small pond , seep wall and a 150 gallon aquarium. At present all the birds are maintained in the aviary but when the shadehouse is repaired from hurricane damage and the water systens are stabilized I'll return the nectavores. I don't keep any reptiles on purpose lol but it also houses ,geckoes,anoles ,treefrogs and the occasional snake. I live in S. Florida so I have a great advantage from the weather(exceot for hurricanes lol) If I lived in a colder area I'd think greenhouse ,year around housing.Birds are difficult but certainly not impossible to keep this way but the area can not be too big. The more room the better. Try to build it self contained heating,water, lighting independent of your house. Think overgrown terrarium lol. Finches are not the best choice for this type setup along with Parrots they have some bad habits. Birds ,fish and reptiles obviously have different needs and habits .Combining them has both advantages and disadvantages. After all integrated multiple species enclosures have become the norm for most zoos. First think about the enclosure the size you mention is not too bad but it can never be too big lol.Do plan on climate control, water and lighting. Obviously design the whole thing around what you want to keep. A greenhose,would probably give you the most options but there are many other ways . Check around as to what this structure will cost,not only to build but maintain also. IMO this is the only way to house birds from every aspect. Have maintained mine for over twenty years and I still love it. gary

I found that burlap is dusty (sheds fibers) to use. Rough and unfriendly to our tender little elbows. lol My mother in law put her antique/vintage hankie collection down on the dining table and covered it with a sheet of glass. I just had a wild visual image (dont worry my Dr. knows about them) of hankies on crisscrossed clotheslines strung like banners. It also has that vintage summer message of clothes drying in the sun. I would buy clothes pins and paint them all one bold color to match your table cloth or napkins or the main color in the hankies. I bought and restyled some dolls to be my laundry helpers. (see pic) Something like this would be a good center piece. The caucasion dolls were broken at Hobby Lobby. The others were lucky finds at resales. I took the golfer and put a miniature scrub board in her hands. The tallest one has a basket attached where I put my grandmothers embroidery and grandpa's hankie pieces. The tiny clothes pins could hold place cards. Go to the net and print off all of the vintage house working mom pics. I can promise you that no one else has ever given this party before. Ok. Thanks for letting me vent that idea.

Two or three bubblers- but it depends on the look you want. If you're going for Bellagio Las Vegas style water works, go for more. :-) Zero deck jets. Love my bubblers, the deck jets were a waste of money. Too loud and annoying. We have 4 deck jets on the back wall of our 44 foot long pool. Question: Why the bubblers on the first step? If I'm envisioning correctly, the step runs the length of your sun shelf. If you're sitting on your sun shelf with the bubblers behind you, it's going to be loud. Not roaring, but just enough to have to raise your voices when speaking. And the jets on your feet as you're sitting on the shelf feels so nice. We have 2, on our 6x10 shelf.. It's pretty and sounds nice but after a while I shut them off because they're difficult to talk over. And we've got them on low. I think if you're going to use more then 2, and they're directly behind your seating area you'll not use them often.

So, if you want to work with that space, here goes: Later: I now see you have a sliding door between the bedroom and the bathroom. Good thought. I have a barn door, and love it. It's very easy to move. A lot of "designers" on here decry them; I've never understood why, since it's optimal space-wise, you don't have to get around it, and doesn't take any energy to move. It also allows me to have a full 5-foot radius in the bathroom in case I ever have a wheelchair. IMO put the bedroom closet the entire length of one wall in the bedroom. It saves the most space if that closet doesn't hug the doorway. Put the bathroom where the walk-in closet is. That way, it will have a window. Widen all the doorways. Make the kitchen much larger. You can use smaller appliances, but have plenty of counter space. For safety, the microwave should not go over the stove (too easy to get hot soup on you). Consider lowering the upper cabinets. The kitchen should have windows. Make sure you can look out of the windows if you're in bed or seated. Use a curbless shower, only. No tub; they're hazardous. Don't create a narrow center aisle in the bathroom. Carefully consider where you put bathroom cabinets. If you have a walker, it's hard to get to the sink. I actually have a wall-mount sink. I sacrificed cabinets, and instead have one tall cabinet. It's worked out great. Also, the toilet should be placed in such a way that you can mount grab bars next to it. In other words, you don't want it in the middle of the wall. Consider putting a looong reach-in closet abutting the house wall. See where you have the inset? Right there. You could put the W/D and hot water heater in there. Don't forget HVAC somewhere. A long closet will be good for the vacuum cleaner and coats, and it will keep sound from traveling between your house and the MIL suite. The top of the stairs needs a door. And there needs to be a lot of room to maneuver right there, especially since you have a verandah door right there. Do pegs on the wall for the "mudroom" and not a tight turn around space with a closet. With that bathroom removed (and the wall separating it from the kitchen), you should now have way more space to move around in. Reduce the number of doors to necessities: the bedroom, the bathroom, door to the house, top of the stairs, closet doors. WIDE doors. If you must have stairs, can you organize them so there's a landing half way up?. Then a person can catch their breath. Hope that helps. I also can't see the dimensions of the space. Too fuzzy.
