It's refreshing to see nautical, navy BLUE. Everyone is saying the same thing for the most part - just introduce another color, definitely bright (yellow or orange IMO) and it will make it more current. What I really like is how your style will withstand the test of time - and with minor updates now and then it will always look fresh and "current".

Yes it is a bit further where we have the kitchen now from the garage - its hard to tell from these images of course(!) but we are on a hill site that has all front yard for entertaining and amazing view, so we wanted all of the areas possible to face out/open onto this. The back side is looking mostly at retaining wall so it would be quite dark if we put the kitchen on that end. The bedroom is the 4th one and as it is only my husband and I, it won't be used that often so we prioritized having the living areas bright and in the best spots over the guest bedroom.

We have a new door that we are developing and I was wanting to know what are the most common doors (solid core, hollow core, aluminium, etc.) that architects spec for , common issues they have with doors on their projects - and so forth - so that we can develop a door that will solve those issues and fit the specifications. I apologise that my questions lacked detail as to what I wanted.

I have colonial country pantry door in white and want to add barn doors to my open plan kitchen dining with a timber finish will this be too much?! I also have two other doors into this room and not sure what style yet.
