Fencing dilemmaGeneral Discussion

Jul 23, 2018 11:29 am

The front neighbour has a tall limestone wall, which I hate the look of. The rear neighbour has a colour bond fence which is on good conditi...

Dec 14, 2017 10:21 am

Hi All I am building a house but have put the pool in first, and need insurance to cover it until the house is completed. I got a quote to add it to the builder's insurance, but it was $750 and has a $2500 excess! I have phoned a couple of insurance companies but they don't cover this. Has anyone el...

Re: Would holland blinds be best for this window with a viewInterior Decorating Lounge

We have a similar situation, and went with sunscreen roller blinds that blend with the colour of our walls. No pelmets, so the look is minimalist. I can still enjoy the view, but get privacy, and block out the sun/keep the warmth in. Will post a pic later, if you like. Gorgeous view, by the way!!

I think Buff It full is gorgeous as an internal colour. A friend has it, it looks gorgeous. We nearly went with it, but Hog Bristle was a slightly better tone with our other selections.

I have 1/2 Hog Bristle all through my house, it's really nice and light. We have lots of timber, and timber floors, too ;)

We have leather couches, and a 22m and 3 year old- they are pretty forgiving. Except for the biro, haven't been able to get that out yet!

I personally don't rate the Choice reviews. They don't select a good range of products in each area, in my opinion.

Gorgeous, Jodge. I would put the clock above the kettle, or on the other side above the tiles. And put a simple print on the wall where the clock isn't. I like clear benches too, but perhaps a nice bowl where stuff can be chucked, and cleared at the end of the day. We have this http://www.ikea.com/a...
