Yeah...ended up going with door number 1 :) Glass is covered up still with green tape cause the painters r painting walls atm, so this is it so far........

I like the photo of the chair at entrance with green wall behind and round timber mirror above, all you need now is a large simple pot plant, round perhaps in white, with something like a rubber plant or large leafed variety, or Mother-in-laws tongue perhaps then add a white marble top small table on the other side of the chair, closest to the door with legs to match or similar to the chair. Remove the timber hall table all together and the letters and dragon fly on the opposite wall. That should do it. Pot plant examples photos to follow

gorgeous house and will be so much better with some suitable landscaping but, unless you think guests would be comfortable walking up and down the slope, i suggest that entry should be from the driveway with the extra parking area dug out of the slope at the right hand side of the driveway (as seen from the street) and have the gate house to the right of the garage with shade and screening trees and retaining walls stepped up the slope and screening shrubs between the parking area and front garden ...choice of materials and plants should have been suggested in your original landscape plans but an oval shaped lawn with formal symmetrical planting and a wide sunken lily pond in lawn feels like it would complement the house and cool the entry

We installed an old school keyless entry lock (Lockwood) a few years ago. Best thing we ever did. Ours is the old fashioned push button one as I didn’t want to be caught out by dead batteries or other tech hacks that could occur.
