No rush. Today is my lazy day and I'm just hanging around the computer pinning and chatting. I've found out on Wed I may be getting some weatherboard so I am quite excited. They are using some sort of cladding over the roof and not brick due to weight so i convinced them the whole front needs to be ...

Hi BB. The last pic there is the one with a swatch of the paint against the open door, and hubby's up at the house so I'll get him to text me a photo of the closed door. That'd be awesome!! No problem It really only takes a few minutes and its invaluable. So far I have learned how to use Chief Arch...

Greetings Cinder.... and the house of my dreams. Looking good. I love the lead lighting. Now should you paint the door baby blue. I want to say yes but it could go pear shaped.

Actually I think the tiles will work out ok. Here's what they've proposed and it's not that different from our original design. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H_fZ5fB67AA/UkkPz6knUDI/AAAAAAAAEFY/jNIaqP5Sv80/s720/Rendition%2520Tiles.jpg GORGEOUS, I don't know what you had before but that works v...

We are getting to the home stretch on decision making and I have to say Simonds has done a fantastic job to date not strangling me. :lol: Since my last post there has been a whole heap of changes particularly in the area of tap ware. The brand I originally choose has decided to discontinue the majo...

On the walls I want plain subway tiles but it's the floors I would love something like tessellated tiles or a basket weave mosaic anything but the huge tiles they are offering.

Hi Bella, it all depends on your style, your space, and furniture. By space I mean will you have lots of natural light? and what wood tones are in your furniture, if any? All these things play a part. And then there is your personal taste as well. You need to give forum members something to work wi...
