Love them! As long as they have a dimmer switch. Be careful though, if they open from the top, rather than from the bottom, you will end up with a puddle of insects inside the globe. Take it from me, that is a real pain.

so relieved you don't want to spoil a great looking brick home with more render but is there a view from upstairs? when funds allow extending the deck/verandah across the front of the garage would add extra upstairs outdoor space and modify the look of the garage doors and consider painting garage doors and rendered wall in the darkest cement colour (greenish) grey with white eaves and fascias with black gutters and simply pressure wash the driveway to retain the natural concrete colour and add climbing plants to fall down the side of the retaining wall

Hi Kate , Do you have any photos to get an idea of solutions possible?

looks good already and i like the Os but would also want directional spotlightson the outside corner of the alfresco roof and the side of the house and if the undercover coachlights and spotlights were operated separately if would be more comfortable to sit outside without attracting too many bugs to the separate sitting areas
