smemily, I love it! I would also think that you'd benefit from more outdoors space, however, if you're thinking of it as a "forever house" then I don't see why you shouldn't do what you feel most comfortable with. Being from WA, I don't see the point in Melbournians having outdoor areas an...

This will sound really disgusting and will no doubt take a long time, but when our dog was a pup (feels like forever ago!) we stopped him digging by burying his poos in his regular digging spots. They either smell it there and avoid it or they dig, discover it and dont go back. If there's regular sp...

We're in desperate search of a queen size, white leather bed with storage. There's heaps of white leather beds around but the husband insists that it have some form of storage whether it be gas struts or drawers or whatever. I think I've tried every single bed shop that has a website but I just can'...

We have these in our house Turri, but unfortunately we're in WA. We used a very small local company to do ours and they were brilliant. For 7 very big windows plus a large sliding door it was $3500 so the quotes you've received do sound quite decent considering you have 13 windows. Maybe see what ki...

Goodness gracious! What a STUNNING bathroom. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical on the colours when I saw them on the colour swatches but they actually look fantastic. I personally love the jars but maybe not in the bathroom. I had a giggle at the soaps but really, what else could you put in th...

That's ummm very interesting :lol: Gives a new meaning to the phrase "there's nothing like having a good screw on the table" :shock: :lol: Hubby would probably let me buy fresh flowers all of the time if we had a vase like that! Then again, he'd probably want to keep it in the shed.

I don't have a picture of it on our table but we have this fruit bowl: http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr34/caity_ashby/fruitbowl.jpg I LOVE it!

Hi Karry I absolutely swear by Gazebo white. Looking at your tiles/carpet, it would be perfect. It has almost a grey tinge to it. I'm not so sure about it with the chocolate brown furniture though, actually in saying that, our bedroom furniture is brown and it looks fine. The rest of our house has c...

Hubby and I are starting to plan an extension to our house. Whilst it's a bit hard to describe, we basically want to extend a living area next to our patio and also extend the laundry to include a toilet. We only have 1 toilet in the house at the moment and soon that will become part of the main bat...

sorry haven't used them before, but can I just say that that is the cutest comforter set ever! C

JJ, I'll take some pictures of ours when I get home tonight, it doesn't look tooooooo bad from far away but up close it's terrible! The previous owners were definitely not too bright, they've used glass splashback as the benchtops as well as the splashback, however they haven't even used the right s...

ok. So the smeg appliances are proving to be quite a pain in wa. Anyone have any comments on electrolux appliances-coffee machine, oven, stovetop and microwave.

I'm dying to get myself an indoor plant but I can't decide where to put one or which one to get. At the moment I'm thinking either a nice white orchid or a ZZ plant. The problem is that I can't find an orchid I really like, I'm yet to come across one that actually looks healthy in the store. I did s...

Sorry to nag you all with my influx of questions, I'm just starting to get really excited about our upcoming reno's. I've done a search on the forum but it's only come up with one mention of the Elica Rangehoods. Has anyone had any experience with them? I know they're very pricey but they just look ...

I don't have anything that matches, but it is the same finish. Really? I saw your pictures in the kitchen thread and just assumed it was all the same brand as the finish is exactly the same. Good job! P.S I think I have talked hubby into getting your barstools, they're hot! :) C

that's a great website hellokitty! thanks so much. I'm sure I'll be using that heaps in the near future.

We're starting to price up the appliances for when we renovate our kitchen and I really really like the look of the Omega and Smeg in wall oven, microwave and coffee machine. Problem is that I really like the Fisher & Paykel 2 drawer dishwasher and the LG French Door with Freezer Drawer fridge. ...

Hi everyone. We're a couple from Perth. We bought our house in Hamersley last year. In February we're taking the plunge and getting married, and then straight after that, let the reno's begin! We bought the house off the public trustee as it was an ex druggy house. You should have seen some of the s...
