Ceiling or wall paint?

Should we paint the floor width in the void space (curved) a ceiling or wall colour?

We are having a glass balustrade with timber posts if it makes any difference.

Out ceilings are White and Walls are grey (whisper White).

Backyard landscaping

Remember my Backyard ideas post, where you all kindly helped me decide to create a feature garden in the green highlighted section? Well... I completely forgot that we need to have a 1m wide strip of concrete all around both the house and the detached garage. This means that the shape of the "feature garden" might need to change :(

So what do you think of our new "feature garden" shape?

Or should we perhaps widen the concrete driveway, in order to have a triangle shaped garden?

Look forward to reading your feedback :)

Hedges and front yard landscaping

Our site started getting leveled and cleaned up on Sunday... and the driveway, walkway, front fence/gate footings and the rest of the concrete is going to happen in the next few weeks. I want square hedges on either sides of the walkway to the front door. As it currently stands, the hedges strip will be 1.6m wide (0.6m wider than the wakway to the front door). Is this too wide? How much room is normally required by a standard size hedge?

Also, Mr B has agreed to a greenery strip in between the driveway and fence on the right hand side. YAY!!!!

I hope Jane and Lance, the landscaping experts will be able to pop in as well :)

PS. I filled around 1000 nail holes over the weekend, and the butt joints in between the boards (upstairs only) ... while Mr B finished the rest of the powerpoint and downlight/speaker cut outs downstairs.
