Get yourself some fine grit sandpaper or a sanding block. Go over it all litly to remove enough varnish for paint to stick. Get a small foam roller and tray fill with gloss balck paint you selected, and first brush all the edges of the drawers. Remove all drawers doing the frame first, then the drawers themselves. Then roll the flat surfaces, sides and top of the frame unit, then the faces of your drawers. I would dry it overnight. On the second day, if there's any runs or thick areas, which is unlikely f you roll AFTER you brush. But if so, again use your sanding block lightly over the entire face surface of the problem area. Apply second coat, then a final if necessary. Dry an entire day before working on it. Perfect your bed is leather, I'm suggesting a leather detail only, not the entire dresser, so it will link in perfectly. You can buy meterage of vinyl look leather at Lincraft or spotlight cheaply. Template the front of each drawer only, not including the bevel edge. Just use a piece of paper and rub the edges to reveal the size of the flat face of each drawer. Use this paper as a template to cut out your vinyl. Lastly. I would use a spray adhesive suitable for vinyl and cloths, follow the instructions and stick to the drawer front. Again dry overnight. The next day finish off by punching through a hole for your handle with either a metal skewer or similar. And if your edges are not neat enough for you, you can also buuy a trim stud, cord etc to glue to the edges. It's not that hard, and can look great, you just need confidence to go for it, and what's to lose. An old set of drawers you're painting anyway! Yu could substitute the leather for wallpaper which would be easier again. Good luck.

the plants on the back fence will give good impact once grown. The rug is more of a pain. This would be a cleaners nightmare. Gives the area impact but not a suitable design choice near a pool. The mirror looks good but near a bbq you are always going to have to wipe the grease from off the mirror. The plant will also have to be removed once you start cooking. The chair is to close to the bbq and the fridge. So this would have to be moved to be able to work in this area or open the bar fridge fully. I do not mine any of the furniture but not a suitable out come for the area where the design seems not to be workable. Vision is important but design area must also be hassle free.

Hey Nik. Our current garage is 6.5mx6.5m and its great I can fit on each side some peg board and cabiners and at the back of garage, can store some bikes. But its tight - and we also dont have the space for a shed at the back. I currently store power tools, whipper/snipper/mower in the garage. Having approx 8x8m would be a huge upgrade for current things I store, and allow me to put battery storage in future and have a good workbench and workspace area. I did think about a shed at the back - will be much cheaper. But I would have to provision for a concrete slab, adequate power and would have to insulate it if it was to be my man-cave! I wonder how much adding 1.5m to the garage would cost compared to putting a quality shed in with utilities etc!?

Personally if I were to put a runner down the area I'd keep it either plain or a very soft muted colour palate maybe with the grey and natural colours as right now it looks quite classy so you don't want to make it to bold or in your face just soft and calming for the area to enhance it all as one look. I don't really think you need one at all as I love the softness of the area as a whole as it is, sometimes less is more but it once again comes down to personal taste.
