that's a yay from me too with your style Mrs V!! I wonder how much that freedom chaise is these days to buy, it looks divine! Your style is so much like mine, I think contemp glam! bewdiful!!! I;ll be checking in your blog more! A :D

I like sliders, I don't think they usually look cheap, in fact I often think they look quite smart!!

I;d price it in weatherboards, pre-primed. I know there are cheaper options but at least it wouldn't look half bad when it's done, maybe a bit trendy???

can I just ask to those who have the cutlery trays, doesn't it take longer to put them in one by one in the tray, rather than drop a bunch in one go into the basket?? I'm assuming not by the sound of your posts! ??

10L for one room - phew, that's a bit. I know bare gyprock can absorb quite a bit tho. With a roller I did about 5L for one bedroom priming. I'm not a fan of spraying because I think it takes longer, but it does look better, with enamel it looks awesome! the top coat will take about 5L I think, with...

I think your BF's idea is great! and just a touch of red, or orange, or whatever colour in the curtain fabric you find, that you like, is a great idea. The room sounds like it needs a touch of some colour anyway. You only have to have one cushion with "that" colour in it, and the rooms co-...

hi there, we did a wallpaper just like this one in our hallway, one wall, and frankly I shouldn't have bothered, no one notices it. If I'd done it in a room, all walls, it would have been great, so def, imo, as many walls as possible!!! good luck mate

oh michelle, just as yellow is making a come back!!! (PS. I'd go induction if you can afford)

I love em stormy, and the budgie thing is catchy, I might copy that one - so cute!!!

hi brissy, lovely plan, but if it were me I'd want my kids wardrobes double their current size. If you get that, you may not need a bigger linen, I imagine you have linen space in your downstairs laundry anyway. :D

wow what a transformation - gorgeous cabinets, and aren't the floors fabulous! well done!

sounds lovely to me!

yes we used a small builder in Williamstown, and had virtually no probs, finished 2wks early - great! but most frustrating was simply couldn't get in soon enough!!!

if it were me I'd want a bit of contrast in that mix, perhaps Hogs Bristle, full strength would be enough. Maybe a bit darker. Being the backsplash, you could go with a tile, rather than glass to get a contrast, and therefore not needing to be a colour contrast, just a material contrast. just an ide...

hi rob Great to see another council who excels! Mine is a complicated tale too, one which I wouldn't want to bore anyone with - All i say is too many indians, not enough chiefs! I think you'll get that! Your plan looks amazing - talk about wow factor! I was chatting to my neighbour today (in the cou...

g'day trish, you seem to be moving along nicely - WELL DONE MATE!!! as for the old pic - what an awesome pic - it's obviously the rear of the house, as there is no front door on that pic. Also, I notice the old boards on the old pic, whereas your property is bricked up and painted. Just so lucky, I ...

joles darling - how are you!!! glad to see you still here, or who else would help me! thanx so much for that. I reckon I'd better go visit those stores with a pic, and see if I have any joy there - I do hope it's not tooooo exy!!! :? wish me luck!

I just have to have this bed, it's haunted me for ages to buy it, but I have no idea where it is from. Does anyone know, or how can I ask PD (it's in their display at epping I think) I want this, not cheap copies! http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n54/Annietomdav/bits%20n%20pieces/daven12A.jpg put ...

omg, that sounds a bit rich! which builder??? we had it done by the builder, no probs with our builder. I've heard of some builders charging a lot more than is justified (because they can!) but not saying they won't do it.
