I have been sitting back and our house has started and we are almost up to lock up stage! so i thought i would finally come out of our shell and post a thread on our little project. We also have a blog here http://thelifeofnumber69.blogspot.com/ It is so much fun and stressfull at the same time! We are building a mixed breed house haha a pIantati0n x Aden brook x Metric0 n and a little bit of our own design. its a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom with lounge, kitchen, and dining combined with separate media/ theater room. I think its about 26sq all up on a 600m2 block. So far we have chosen our outside colours and working on the paint. I'm struggeling a bit on the kitchen colours :s So here is our house so far: HOME- is where your story begins!

Re: PINKAPPLES Now has fit out- Pics Incl 11Jan 30, 2009 9:18 pm Hi Pinkapples
It's looking great. I love seeing plaster on the walls because it feels like a house and you can really see it all coming together. It also gives you that feeling that it's really getting closer to being finished. Thanks for all the photos, Re: PINKAPPLES Now has fit out- Pics Incl 12Jan 30, 2009 9:24 pm ^^^ yes i know i think its amazing when you can walk thru it and think to yourself where you are going to put things, and how its going to look in the end. HOME- is where your story begins! Re: PINKAPPLES Now has fit out- Pics Incl 15Feb 18, 2009 10:46 am ^^^ I havnt chosen the colour yet but it will be one of the white looking ones. I will be choosing tomorrow so i will let you know
UPDATE: Our kitchen is and and looks amazing! Mr Pinkapples and i have made a packed that we would only see the house on friday, but i got a ** yesterday and went and had a look! It is perfect so so so happy!!! here is a pic of the ensuite vanity with out bowles in. This afternoon i might go get some ** photos to post for you all.. he he Just hope Mr Pinkapples doesn't log on here. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We also did our lighting selection on sunday, DRAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Becon lighting are the rudest sales people ever, I was so upset by how we where treated. They are not getting my business... We ended up going across the road to Brisbane discount lighting and they where awesome! lovely people and get range of lights. We are buying our kitchen pendant lights on ebay! I saw these lights in a display home at calemvale and loved them.... anyways i found them on ebay at a great price, $59 for three and with postage. I cant wait to get them in the mail. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ HOME- is where your story begins! Re: PINKAPPLES Now has fit out- Pics Incl 16Feb 18, 2009 10:53 am Everything is looking lovely Pinkapples. Beacon staff I find wait until you go to them - very rarely do they come to you. Then again I found that in another lighting warehouse too. Strange - you would think they would be eager to part your money from your wallet. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: PINKAPPLES Now has fit out- Pics Incl 17Feb 18, 2009 10:57 am Fantastic PA, so excited for you! Lookin' good. Re: PINKAPPLES Now has fit out- Pics Incl 19Feb 18, 2009 1:46 pm Looking good! You're really getting close now. I found the same thing with the service at Beacon. There's so much competition around you'd think they'd step it up. Lighting Illusions at Macgreggor have a huge range too, though NO service at all. Even bad service would have been something. They sell through ebay too. Andrews lighting is much smaller, but have some nice unique things and great service. 4 14129 Hello everyone Please advice me how can I install mesh security window or we cab say mesh flyscreen inside while the pvc plantation shutters are already installed?
