Apr 11, 2011 6:31 pm

Hi I have purchased land in Glenmore Ridge. In our release we will all settle around the same time. I would assume building would start within a few months of each block or maybe at the same time. What is the general idea of doing the fencing these days. My fences due to the shape of my block will h...

We are looking for an 8 seater dining table and we have been to so many shops in the sydney area its not funny. Would you mind sharing your dining table experience and what you ended up buying....

Re: New house, old furnitureGeneral Discussion

We are doing a mixture of old and new. When we sold our house last may we sold some of our furniture that we knew that either we never really needed/used or would not fit into the new home. We also gave some of our furniture to family that needed it but could not afford to buy some. Things that we w...

We found our dining table... it took a bit of time but we purchased it from Bay Leather Republic, along with our lounges and bar stools. The chairs for the table cost more than the table itself... But in the end we found the style we wanted and we also have fallen in love with our lounge choices... ...

The Laundry setup supplied by the builder does not allow for draining of the washing machine... so need to see what other builders supply.

Hi We are getting closer to our build finally being finished. We are starting to think about what we want to do to highlight our fireplace.

Hi We have been in our house for 8 months. I am yet to do any decorating. In fact in my last house we lived there for 12 years and I did not decorate it :-(. I don't know where to start and it comes down to money. I don't even have scatter cushions. So I suppose where do you start? A colour theme or...
