Hi meegantas, we have used a product called mill-wood, plastic style deck, a better product than mod wood that scratches quite easily. We have had it down over a year now, still looks marvellous, we hose it down or sweep it, furniture movement has not seemed to damage the product, lots of shades to choose from. The builder recommended it to us, I had never heard of it. He personally did not want to use the mod wood brand. The millwood is used at the London zoo apparently....it is made in England .. Just after we laid ours our city council used same product and colour on beach board walk..I will post a pic Pic 1. Just laid. Pic 2 & 3, as it is now. Pic 4 on front verandah...we sort of fell in love with it

If you are still looking at benchtop options you want to consider our QuantumSix+ 12mm porcelain sheets. Measuring 3200x1600mm so it is ideal for a seamless long bench or the 6mm porcelain for a splashback. The 12mm is available in 2 colours - white with grey vein or white with a gold/grey vein (marble look). 6mm is available in 8 colours from marble look to industrial grey. Check out our website for imagery: http://wk.com.au/Gallery/QuantumSix-Gallery/8

Just love that rabbit perhaps his hutch would be good to the left on the top terrace The sandstone rock and stairs to the left of your house could be worked on to look really special again, a Zen like The fern that was moved off the rocks is likened to a weed and best removed, I quite like the rock as a feature. As for any pavers any of the square or rectangle concrete ones would look great and are cheaper than most, please don't paint them you can get them from Bunnings. We also play Bocci on our grass that over looks water. great fun.

Looking at your photos I noticed you have lots of little artwork scattered here and there. They don’t look right at the moment . If group all of them in a gallery like formation on the wall above your dining table you will have a focal point. There is no need for a frame on each wall, just one focal point is enough. Also there seems inadequate amount of storage in the kitchen, you could add some wall cabinets maybe in different colour to add a bit of interest and height to the room, at the moment everything is on same level. I realised you didn’t ask opinion on this but anyway I don’t mean to offend.
