Thank you I visited a few stores in Sydney , bo concepts, king furniture , project 82 and finally jimmy possum and decided on the Massimo and Milmo sofa with ottoman from jimmy possum, many reasons, not only because of the impeccable quality of the sofas and the fact it's Austrlaian made, but after visiting the store twice my husband would fall asleep instantly whilst sitting on them, and that to me was the clincher. Very happy with the staff and service from Jimmy Possum located at Moore Park , Sydney. So excited, 8 weeks to go...

For a dining room the general rule is to hang the lowest point of the pendant light between 30" and 34" (76 – 86 cm) from the top of the table. If you were to have a standard bedside lamp you would want the bottom of the lamp to be at chin height when in bed as that will give you the ideal task lighting and avoid glare. Play around with both of these methods and you should find an ideal height somewhere in-between that suits you.

Hi Pazz, I really like your idea of seagrass wallpaper behind the bed, it would add texture and warmth plus make more of a feature of the window on that wall (compared with the other windows). If the wallpaper is dark enough, the concrete pendants would look great (but the cord will definately have to be jigged because you'll ruin the clean black rectangle of your window if the cord cuts it). I'm personally a fan of the Tom Dixon Beat pendant shape, and curved or rounded pendant would also soften the room which has lots of angular edges, plus it will throw wider light if the mouth is large enough! It's a lovely room, would love to see pic when you make your final selection! :-)

They're hard to find - I searched for ages and finally fluked the pair that I got in a cheapo little furniture place that I almost walked right past (I only went in because I was sick of looking). You could always have them made - find a style you like then take it to a carpenter/cabinet maker if you can afford that - otherwise my suggestion is keep looking in those furniture shops that you wouldn't normally check out.
