It is just a great patio beer drinking table with a great view:) I couldn't get a picture of the table and the view because I didn't have the room with just a camera phone but this is the view from the top of the patio with it:)

Hi, your home looks pretty good, you have done a lot on the interiors. Coming back to the question, yes, you can add a wallpaper behind the television, go for a textured wallpaper as it will create a compliment to your television. As you have decorated with wooden elements, you can go with a bookshelf on the wall. And, there is one more thing which will be a simple addition but will look perfect and that is an antique wall clock. An antique wall clock will make your wall look great without any fuss.

Hi Nadia What a fabulous space you've got to work with! For your dining table, something like this might work for you: It is modern with simple lines, and ties back to the glossy white cabinetry and kitchen bench tops you've got. The stainless steel will also echo the silver couch you've got in the TV area. I'd like to see some colour drawn through to tie your 4 areas (TV/media, kitchen, dining, kids/rumpus) together. The pantone color of the year is "Marsala" (http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21163) which would actually work quite nicely with the decor you've already got. Try finding some throw rugs, cushions and and floor rugs that feature that color, but make sure they're relieved by white, cream and/or silver otherwise they'll look too drab against your grey couch. You can also pick up another complementary color or two for occasional spots of additional color, particularly in the kids' area. To dress your couches in the kids' area to fit the rest of your decor and make it more harmonious, you could get relatively cheap, washable covers in a grey, marsala or even cream if the fabric is stain resistant. Please let me know if we can offer some more in-depth advice and if you're interested in us completing some mood boards that you could use to DIY, or (depending on your area) if you'd like a full consultation :) Best wishes, Natalie

I have been looking online at similar tables - most of them are honey coloured; one or two that I have seen have darker legs, but the paler coloured top and skirt. A few are described as different tops (eg cedar) and legs (eg blackwood). I am thinking I will get the other leaves and the skirt stripped back to match, at least; if the legs are the same wood I will get them done also, otherwise they can stay as they are. Thank you everyone for your help and advice, much appreciated!
