Im really stuck on what to do with our study area. I cant decide on colours or finish. HUbby wants it mainly white but we have kids so i dont know if thats practical. Is anyone able to share any pics of what they have done? Ive thought about laminate wood top, but hubby doens't want it. Now im think...

yeah they will do that. The hardest thing is getting a quote from the tiler. or finding a tiler that we can trust. ive done some rough estimations and prob only save $1000 still not a big enough saving for us to be able to afford italian porcelain

We are trying to decide on a carpet. Not El Cheapo and not fully expensive as we have kids and they are sure to stain it some how. We got a quote on a carpet at carpet call "lasting Impresions" is what they called it Cutpile Luxury | Guage 1/8 | Pile Weight 32oz/m2 | Guarantee 10 years | S...

Just seems like everyone wants porcelain. Don't know if its for looks mainly or because they are better all round. Our tiles have heaps of cracks and chips

Totally agree with dreamline and yourself. Loose lay is better over the art IMO. I dont like shiny. Our friend has burnt Ginger. It looks amazing. He was the one that put us ontoit. We just laid polyflor loose lay. Check blog in sig for full details.

I'm looking at tile options at the moment. The porcelain that I like is easily a 10k upgrade for Italian porcelain. I really need to decide what to do. Budget is tight. Are ceramic tiles really that bad. Will I regret them? Pros and cons obviously is that they chip easily. If I can't afford Italian ...

Im looking at tightform edging as i want as square as possible without getting square form. Does anyone have close up pics to show me the edging and how close to square it is? its for a study area and i dont want the desk to look like a bench so trying to get to square as possible. we have stone ben...

I'm doing my own landscape plan to submit with council. I've got the plan made but need ideas for native grasses, shrubs and some trees to complete it.. Who can help me out with some names of things I can use in the design

Thanks alot for the website suggestion

I have hit a cross road in the design of our Ensuite and WIR. Options:- Option 1 Leave design as is, close off wall to WIR in ensuite and add a CSD from the bedroom, add a hinged door on the ensuite entrance. This means the opening of the WIR will be on the main wall right next to bed, we have a KS ...

Thanks Zalira, it would work with ours. i like the idea of being able to close them off which is why i wanted the cavity doors or hinged doors on them. i like privacy especcially to hide away from the kids. Locking the bathroom door and having a peaceful shower for 10 mins is the only me time i get ...

Thanks for your input. Why would entrance to wir put you off if it was through ensuite?

1sttime - oh im worried about that too. Our BIR now is so squished i have to store the previous season clothes in vac bags and swap them around between summer and winter. We are looking at this option. but i dont know if walking through WIR to the ensuite is a good idea. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.ak...

Ok here is another option this keeps heath happy as its only 1 door visable, and keeps me happy that i dont walk past a stinky toilet. thoughts? mirrored door into WIR, possible mirror on both sides maybe? Mirror will cover the whole space above vanity right upto window, get to keep full length mirr...

Thanks grumble. I had thought about doing the e suite in there. The wir is only 1.3 wide though. It's a great idea Saint do you think it will be ok with a door from wir to e suite? We won't leave it open. I hope it's ok. It's hard for me to convince hubby to change. Can't win all the decisions. Lol

Helyn very valid point. This is my greatest concern at the moment. Hubbybdoesntbwant to change it. Ill just leave it. We have exhausted all possible avenues and he still wants to leave it his way. I think I'll give in and he can have this one. I know I'll win others so it all evens out

I like your original colour selections

W have just put a holding deposit on a h&l package with Eden brae to build the drysdale at glenmore ridge. Who else is building this house? I'd love to hear from you and get some links to some blogs etc that I can follow along. I've never built before so this is all really new to me and even tho...
