Suzineedsahouse, what is the era or character of the house you have moved into, because perhaps that will influence design style regardless of size? Also, if you have been knocking out walls is it likely to be more open plan?? I moved from a small 1960's era granny flat into an as-small Art Deco 1940's apartment and found I went with more classic furniture with the second place because it just suited the aesthetic of high ceilings, floorboards, wide skirting boards, fireplace, ceiling roses etc. Having said that, I live in a block of 6 apartments, and I have seen the other apartments decked out completely differently (all of similar layout), from really modern, to mid-century, also one with a real retro art vibe, and they all looked great and seemed to suit the space fine. So maybe go with your taste in the end??

I like tvs wall mounted....looks much neater and so much more classy. Some tvs have horrible ugly stands. Well done to your handywork it looks fantastic!

Thinking of a weathered spo gum hybrid throughout my unit Including kitchen and bathroo. Is this a good idea?

If you have the depth (same as the fridge) a pullout pantry with adjustable wire or plastic coated wire ‘basket’ shelves are fantastic I find - great located between the cooktop and the fridge - there are some here: https://www.renovatorstore.com.au/kitchen/pantry/pull-out.html - All the sauces, oils, spices, open packets and so much more are easy to find in a tiny space.
