If those patio doors are not under cover, I would get them primed or stained ASAP. Have you removed the faux shutters already? They seem to be on some photos and not others. I would remove them. For all trim I would go deep blue, and white.

Adam Would you consider all trim white including gable and door surround with a deeper grey gloss for the door frames? I'm thinking red, although lovely with grey, may be too 'hot' with the yellow bricks. There is a great green in Wattyl paint called 'Mangrove'. It has grey in the mix yet shows depth and character. That colour would be complimentary to the area you live in, with all those lovely trees. Enjoy. Let us know what you decide.

I agree that you need a blind like a roller or roman that goes up and out of kitty's way. Nobody has yet addressed your query about panel glides: Panel glides work best on large doors where there is room to stack the panels when opened. you will lose at least one third of your left glass door panel if you use panel glides and they also project into the room quite a bit.

you've already won our hearts as we love how you care about making things nice for the mrs...(first thing will be to learn to call her by her name not just your mrs) and that you've kept a special place for the dog...best advice is to ask her to help you choose how to make things nice for her...but also make sure that everything is super clean and shiny, add clean sheets and fresh towels, her choice of tea, coffee or whatever she drinks in the fridge and enough crockery and cutlery for two, flowers in the vase and welcome to your new life and being her mr, congratulations
