I love concrete! It looks really beautiful!

If you look under the tab "Find Pros" & enter your location you'll get a list of local interior designers. I've seen a couple of houses done by Jodie Cooper Design, very nicely done.

I would be using the slate as a starting point for your colour inspiration. If you look carefully there are some great olive and eucalyptus colours to draw from. The white that you have is too stark and contrasting to the feature of the room which is the beautiful floor. The stained timber works as it complements the rustic look of the floor, and there are some similar colours in the floor. If you wanted to spend some big dollars I would look at upgrading your toilet suite to a cleaner, more contemporary pan and a concealed wall cistern. Changing the aluminium sliding window to a stained timber awning window to match the architrave would be a nice finishing touch. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

What direction does the home face. Well glazed area (with appropriate eaves) overlooking a northern backyard, very good. The same windows overlooking a western backyard, bad, as it'll get way to got in summer. I'm a bit confused about where the deck is though. Will it shade any new windows added to the galvo section of the home?
