I received a very quick email response from the company which I have copied and pasted below which you will see, they DO NOT RECOMMEND this product for internal application. "Thank you for visiting the Cabot's Premium Products website and for taking the time to send us an email. We do not recommend this product for your internal application . However, once the stain has cured therefore no odour present there should not be any issues with performance or safety. Please do allow extended curing in cold or humid conditions as it may take several days to fully cure." Certainly appreciate their quick response and everyone's help here on houzz. Will have to take time out to get to a larger hardware store (the joys of renovating in a country area) ;-)

They have only had it a couple of weeks jen! Just don't get suckered in by their ridiculously large sample pots, they're whatever the imperial measurement of about 900ml is. Much better to colour match and use a sample sized sample! I used their low sheen (what we would normally call satin) on my spare room walls and as soon as it cools down will do the woodworking in satin (semi-gloss).

Have you tried to contact the company?

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.
