I have a cabinet already should fit there, so did think about that already...maybe I am just having a hard time picturing it. We are designing a 'contemporary' house, so I would say it is fairly modern with touches of older/more vintage pieces. I will take a picture of my cabinet tonight to see what you guys think. But I guess most photos/when I think of buffet cabinet I picture more traditional pieces. If anyone has a more modern take would be great!

Thanks for your comments - The room is approx. 5m square - so not huge. The tiles being too busy for it is a concern I have too. It's very light and sunny - two of the walls are glass and slide back to the outside, one wall is French doors which lead inside the house and the other wall has windows looking into the house. The roof is louvre. Can't put up a picture as it's still being built! I'm still lusting after these tiles though...

on the landscape plan - The road frontage is the left hand curved side & the black rectangle is the position of the outdoor fire.

Great home. I have an outdoor shower was I live adjacent to the beach but only ever use it to wash our feet. It is hard to keep the metals used maintained. I like the idea of being under the stars but in reality i think i would rather have a different vibe than an indoor bath. A spa or jacuzzi adjacent to a pool is potentially more social. Overall a nice extra but certainly not instead of an indoor bathroom especially in the winter time.
