LB I think you confuse me as much as I probably confuse you. LOL. ;-) I noticed I had some crazy auto correct word in my last post which I think was supposed to say "able" (I can't remember now what it even said) ;-) Oldroo I think the builder said something like sticking the old roof bats under the floor. The rain, yes we had it here more then a week straight!! It was great because 1) I was on the sunny coast in Qland that week! And 2) we are on tank water which we have been running off empty for about 6 months now and we just got a second tank connected a few weeks ago as well as guttering on our shed and guess what.... Our tanks were overflowing for days!! We could of filled 3 or 4 tanks at that rate!! So I am very happy about the rain!! :-D

Lovely print. I had a peacock feather print and I had a colour called glacier Grey behind. Think it was Wattyl . Again like your other walls it is a greenish grey but darker. I also had my prints on a charcoal wall..loved that too. As you said the picture ties in with the chairs and now it's not necessary to add more matching colours. I'd buy a couple of sample pots and paint large pieces of cardboard. With the other walls I would consider painting them in whisper white (Dulux) a very universal colour that ties in nicely with all colours.

Tweeza, I should have made it clearer on the plan, but that is a window between the lounge room and the verandah. Thank you for the suggestions and the photos too! Debluc, that is exactly what we would like to do down the track. The walls in between the kitchen and the lounge/dining are structural though, so changing that is going to have to wait until the budget allows unfortunately. Bigreader, I agree with a preference to stay away from corners. I will talk to the installers about this being an option, though that position for a flue for the fire place could be problematic because of solar panels on the roof. Allanaspree, I like this idea! We talked about switching out the two seater for single chairs, so this idea might work. I'll play around with the exact measurements to see how we go.
