WOow- did you see the "wave" design bench top- there tops look great! Plus they must be hardy I would think- are they porous though?

I painted my bedroom in a light grey with a touch of blue tones and I have to say that I have a little panic every time I look at it- I don't like the colour- it's a little dated and a little too 'wishy washy' and a little too 'cold' toned... thinking of going a stronger grey or trying a 'warmer' gr...

we put in plenty of 'wild iris' grass plants on ours and never had a complaint- I guess some councils are stricter than others. I loved mine because they are SO hardy- I never had to worry about them and then they would spout these pretty purple or white mini iris flowers and I would think- how coul...

cool idea- maybe they could work on the aesthetics a little more- you never know when you will need them visible and when you won't- so they should be pleasing to look at just in case

Bungalows always seem to be in hot demand here in Adelaide (not sure if Perth is the same)- everyone loves them because they can do them up in a classic/ character home style. If you are in a high end suburb where the really nicely done up ones fetch high prices I think that you should either do it ...

we were in the US for several years and they have no zones- just vents that you can open or close off- where as in our Aussie home we had 5 zones and was always worrying about the different rooms.

Re: Alternative to tiles in showerBathrooms and Laundry

Nov 16, 2011 1:34 pm
In the US there are a lot of alternatives- one that I was very happy with was a white perspex type surface- it was so easy to clean- no grout and mould- I loved it. I did have one similar in Australia in a house my parents built as a teen- the only weird thing about that one was that the bottom made...

WE had it in the middle- I just like the more even "mixing" of hot and cold when adding new water- plus I don't like having the tap in my back when I'm having a co-bath!

we had Jarrah (solid planks) put down on the slab (with the green moisture barrier paint in between). We had NO problems with gaps or shifting... they were stunning and very quiet. If you put them on the ply wood you will get more 'noise'- some people like that because it is more 'authentic' but the...

In the girls room I would think that purple is more 'now'- and gren would be a more long term colour choice- I know my 7yr old would definately pick purple. I would go with what she wants now and change it later when she may want something completely different from both of those options in 5 yrs tim...
