Printed glass splashback?

Have a look on the first page of the "Show Us Your Splashback" thread, kyton used a custom photo behind starfire clear glass. It's really lovely!

upgrade to high ceiling?

If you can afford it, then I would definitely upgrade to 2.7 ceilings. It was high on our list of must haves when we built.

I don't think PD do bamboo floors? They have either Bolero vinyl boards or floating timber overlay boards.
