Hi, We have wintergreen in the backyard and we have about a 2sqm patch that has pulled up rather sadly post renovation. We just want to find out if its possible to get true wintergreen turf seed (not a generic couch mix) in Perth. The area is not big enough to go through all the digging up and fussi...

thanks for your thoughts everyone - it all helps... we are leaning towards a dark splashback (not quite black) more charcoalish with a bit of sparkle... probably put that in first the look at what wall colour but I will definitely look at all of your suggestions, so thanks again :-)

Hi Chippy, No, I don't think we are going to make the 30% of the remaining walls so it will be classified as indoor. The bench top will be completely protected from direct light though so I guess that opens up our options there.
