Should it be entire length of house? House is on a slope, so if not entire length of house where should it end and where should stairs be positioned?

Is moving the a/c unit an option that's in play? If not, that sets the leftmost edge of your deck for you.

Otherwise, that's really a conversation to have with a local designer. There are too many variables like views from inside the home, circulation between home-deck-yard, and your space planning needs to say it "should" be this or that.

I have to say that well made Roman Shades are not cheap, they are the higher end of the market. Secondly the thing to consider is that they are an all or nothing product, they are either open or closed. What part of the country do you live in? What direction do the windows face, and how often are those doors used? Drapery that can not be moved completely out of the way will get caught in the doors all the time, so while I hate taking out a window for any reason, removing it might make sense as it seems rather redundant. Don't do any type of venetian if this door is used a lot, and if you do, make sure you do an outside mount, allowing for the stack to go above the frame of the doors when they are open. I suggest that you look into Hunter Douglas Polysatin Shutters, they are great on french doors, and the Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Vertiglide is perfect on doors, they also come as a duo light, meaning you can put two blinds into one product - so a sheer and an opaque or semi-opaque product. Just some thoughts to consider.

Clueless on rug color! Help me find my perfect rug!

You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent.

I would get rid of that pendant. Here's one link to industrial pendant lights http://www.houzz.com/industrial-pendants Pick a light that you like and show it to your landlord. I bet she/he will say yes to your suggestion since pendant lights can easily be changed. In fact, if there's already a really secure junction box there already i bet they may even go with a ceiling fan light combo if that's what you really want

Wow, I never even considered anything other than a long ramp or ending it at A/C with stairs. I will not move A/C only work around it. Love the deck materials and colour scheme you chose. I am attaching my poor view from inside patio doors to outdoors. Please respond.

With a large open yard, consider a two or three level deck, which by stepping down creates it's own stairs. Or a rectangular deck, with the stairs at the lower side - to the left of the door facing outside.

I like big wide steps that encourage sitting, they are spaces in themselves.
