What colour kitchen to go with Antique White USA walls?Interior Decorating Lounge

Aug 12, 2012 4:59 pm

Hi As the title suggests, I am up to the point where I need to choose a dulux colour for our new poly kitchen cabinets. We want a modern white, but am confused as to which is best.... Walls and trims = Dulux Antique White USA Floor = Blackbutt I'm thinking Vivid White may be too stark, what about Wh...

Re: Painting the ceiling the same colour as wallsInterior Decorating Lounge

May 25, 2012 7:01 pm

Thanks for your replies everyone! We just have normal height ceilings. I think I'm perhaps sold on half strength for the ceiling in 1/2 strength. Though I did love the idea of not having to cut in :) Thanks for the kitchen colour ideas, I'll check them out!

Painting the ceiling the same colour as wallsInterior Decorating Lounge

May 20, 2012 1:10 pm

Hi I'm thinking about painting my ceiling, walls and trims all in Antique White USA, but I have a few questions.... Do you paint the ceiling in a flat finish, rather than in the low sheen of the walls? Would you do the ceiling in full strength or 1/2? Also any tips on a white white that would match ...

Hi I am having trouble finding some inspiration for a section in my soon to be renovated living room. I am stuck as to how to design the wall behind our freestanding wood heater. Imagine there is a long wall behind the wood heater, about 4 metres. 1.3 mtrs of wall directly behind the heater is reces...

Re: Building code re fans in bathroomBuilding Standards; Getting It Right!

Feb 17, 2012 5:38 pm

Thanks so much for your replies. The house is 14 years old so no BASIX applies. The bathroom is on the 2nd floor, with a colorbond roof and no eaves. I'm not sure then where I can vent to?

Colorbond cost vs Roof Tiles?Building A New House

Apr 19, 2007 8:40 pm

We recently finished building our house and had the same dilemma. We had to pay $5000 extra for colorbond. At the time I thought they had made a mistake and asked if they had remembered to subtract what the cost of the tiled roof would have been from that. Apparantly they had. I still worry that I g...

Prefinished Kempas - unmixed?Flooring & Floor Covering

Feb 14, 2007 8:45 pm

Hi Michelle, I took your advice and contacted a local company that actually stain their timber, so now we can get a more consistent colour. It is a lot redder than what I had planned for - am just hoping it wont be too overwhelming!

Tinting/Frosting front door for security.Windows & Doors

Feb 14, 2007 8:25 pm

A bit off the track, but also have a four panel front door, which is very see through. Not so much concerned re. security, but more so for our privacy. I was thinking that I might have to put some kind of frosted contact on them but worried this might look tacky. Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone for your responses! (SIlly me hadn't yet worked out that I had responses!) We ended up getting the builder's company to install a very basic version of what we want with a laminate bench and laminate sides actually just taped on and no backing or splashback. So as soon as we do the h...

Prefinished Kempas - unmixed?Flooring & Floor Covering

Feb 04, 2007 4:15 pm

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows if you can still get Kempas prefinished floorboards in one colour? ie. not with light, medium and dark mixed. A few months ago we got a quote for our new house for the dark shade of timber. When we went back the other day to place our order, we were told by the com...
