Well done to you both!! They look awesome! I can't wait to get mine in...should be about another 4 weeks though. I wasn't going to go down the path of painting and installing shutters on 17 windows, though! That would be close to 30 separate panels!! It would take me about 3 years to complete that job!!

Bet you saved a bundle opting for the DIY option. Its going to look so good when you have curtains up on the rail. Superb! I have some sheer green material that I was going to make curtains out of. My mum however has half talked me out of it, so now I don't know suh I take my hat off to you that would drive me insane, you did a fabulous job and they look magnifique!!!!!! Thankyou things got a lot easier and quicker when we started using the small roller. hubby even resanded all the ends of the louvres to get the paint runs of them and painted them again! borg I love the shutter they look awesome. We did you buy them from if you dont mind me asking. We got them from www.shutterkits.com.au We looked at the Port Philip shutters, but I'm not so sure on the Palowa wood, so we went with Shutter Kits because they do the Western red cedar, and they where cheaper then Port Philip by a few hundred.

I wasn't going to go down the path of painting and installing shutters on 17 windows, though! That would be close to 30 separate panels!! It would take me about 3 years to complete that job!! Well done!! When we where painting them with the paint brush my hubby was like "No way are we putting these anywhere else" but once we figured out the quicker way to paint, he has agreed to putting them in both the bathrooms and toilet. Just have to save up my pennies to order them. tinkster Another who'd love to know where they came from, and how much if you're willing to share. they look amazing!! We got them from www.shutterkits.com.au the 4 panels with postage was $1056 all up. So not bad I was quoted $1560 + $90 install for each panel from the Wood Blind factory, but they where basswood and had a 8 week delivery installation time. I was quoted $2090 from Stan Bond, with a 6 week delivery and installation. I ordered the shutters from shutterkits on Tuesday of one week and they arrived the Wednesday a week later. We took about 2 weeks to paint and hang them We have 3 kids! to, the boys where not such a great help! I had to repaint a few pieces that got trodden on when wet or had river pebbles thrown on them. As you know where ever mum is the kids are. *arrghh* there are white handprints on one of the babies outfits where I had to keep picking him up!

What a fantastic update - all the best with your cute shutters Re: netadelle's build - Plantation Shutters painted & instal 330Jun 04, 2010 9:40 pm what do you think of plantation shutters on a stacker door 2110 x3570 ,which are to be installed on a slider.Its white by the way with blackbutt timber parquetry floors Re: netadelle's build - Plantation Shutters painted & instal 331Jun 04, 2010 9:56 pm andy what do you think of plantation shutters on a stacker door 2110 x3570 ,which are to be installed on a slider.Its white by the way with blackbutt timber parquetry floors I desperately wanted to get plantation bi-folds OR stackers on my 3 panel stacker door, but I also have 2 fixed windows on either side. I could either do the whole lot in one, or none. It just wasn't going to work with the pelmet needed above the stacker door to fit in the shutters, as there wasn't enough space to do it between the windows and the doors. Once opened, the bi-fold plantations would be in the way of the meals area, and wouldn't quite work. In the end, I have gone for 2 plantations on the fixed windows, and I'll organise 3 romans for the stacker door (yet to be installed). Good luck if you can logistically do it!! I couldn't, but I adore the look! My 2 fixed windows with 3 panel stacker in between: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

I got tired from just looking at them laid out during the painting process. They look awesome! Re: netadelle's build - Plantation Shutters painted & instal 333Jun 05, 2010 9:23 am stormy ,we have a similar sized stacker door in the family and 2 fixed windows to the right with the fireplace in the middle. the 2 fixed windows will have plantation shutters. That was my concern too ,when the plantation sliders are fully open it will cover the fixed window to the right. Into blinds assured me instead of 3 panels ,like the stacker door ,the plantation will have 2 he didnt mention anything about a pelmet, the plantation will run on a slider on the floor. We also looked at curtains,Romans for that door but it just doesnt sit well as the plantation shutter. By the way the plantation shutter will cost me $3800.00 with a 1 year warranty. will post a photo soon Re: netadelle's build - Plantation Shutters painted & instal 334Jun 05, 2010 9:41 am Those shutters look wonderful. Well done on doing them yourself and good on you for passing on the roller tip to save anyone else the same headache. Re: netadelle's build - Plantation Shutters painted & instal 335Jun 05, 2010 11:32 am Great job, Netadelle! After seeing all that timber and multiplying it by the extra bedroom windows we have (not to mention the awkward corner window), I'm so not doing it myself though....think I'll just save up my money. They look fabulous though.

Iam hoping its going to work and the shutters wont intrude too much into the fixed window on the left Re: netadelle's build - Plantation Shutters painted & instal 337Jun 07, 2010 11:53 pm Shutters look absolutely amazing - great work done by you both!

They don't keep all the light out, but the room is still dark enough during the day to the be able to sleep in there. Saville27 Shutters look awesome!! You have inspired us to look into doing them ourselves!! Your house looks fantastic excellent! The painting isn't hard, just time consuming! We arn't going to paint the ones that are going in the front two rooms now, we've had a friend come give us some advice on the front garden, we are going to put a big deck out the front door, so we will leave the shutters in the front two rooms natural and let the wood go 'grey' along with the decking out the front. Will show some design pictures when he comes up with them I can't wait to be able to afford to get the shutters for the bathrooms! Re: netadelle's build - 3 month maintenance 340Jun 16, 2010 4:48 pm We have moved out of a rental and into our new home. The owner of the last rental has been a bit nutso and tried to claim almost our full bond back from us for the stupidest tiniest things. So I think I went a bit overboard and nit picking with our maintence list. I was scared I wasn't going to met the deadline if I posted it in, so I emailed it to there maintence email address. I got a response in about 5 minutes that they had assigned it to there maintence person. That person called about an hour later and we set a date for two days time for the guy to come out and address our issues. I thought he would tell me I was being stupid and wouldn't do half of it, but he did every nit picking little thing on the list!! Including sanding the bits of roller fluff of the walls and repainting! He did however say he had never seen a list quite like it before!! So here is the list: Laundry – internal door needs sand and repair as per the Handover Items requiring attention form Laundry – internal window frame needs sand and repaint as per the Handover items requiring attention form Laundry – external door lip where tiles are, cement/mortar holding the tiles on has fallen/broken off Laundry – paint top and bottom of Internal and External laundry door Laundry – Internal door only has one coat of paint on one side Verandah – Chipped tile Verandah – White film on tiles that I can’t clean off External – Clean mess made from installation of Water Heater Entrance – Front door, external paint job is splotchy can see undercoat in places Entrance – Front door needs top and bottom of door painted Entrance – hole/chipped plasterboard that adjoins front door frame on the inside Entrance – Front door doesn’t latch easily, needs to be pushed very hard to latch, locking mechanism is very stiff and hard to lock and unlock Bed 1 – two holes in ceiling, looks like nail has gone through, ceiling plasterboard is sagging Bed 1 – Robe - Chips in centre edge of laminate on either end of RHS shelf Bed 1 – Bubbles of paint have dried and burst and flaked off on the window sill Ensuite – Chipped floor tile in shower recess Ensuite – Chipped wall tile in shower recess Ensuite – Hair sticking out from grout in shower recess Ensuite – Can’t clean cement off grate in floor Ensuite – Door not painted top and bottom Ensuite – Door missing second coat of paint on one side Ensuite – Gouges in door just above latching mechanism, that have been painted over Hallway – blobs like from a degrading paint roller stuck on wall near Bed 1 door Kitchen – Pantry – Chips on end of every shelf in centre Kitchen – hole in bottom of door leading to garage Kitchen – splashback tiles on corner – the ends are painted on 2 the other 5 are not Meals – Sliding door frame chipped and dented from where bricklayers ran wheel barrow over it Rumpus – chips in window frame LHS Bathroom – hole in grout behind sink in bathroom Bathroom – Door not painted top and bottom Bathroom – Door has gouges above locking mechanism that has just been painted over Bathroom – white film on tile near shower recess that won’t clean off Bathroom – holes in grout in shower recess Bathroom – chips in wall tiles in shower recess Bathroom – Hole in silicon/grout around basin Bathroom – badly painted over patch job on window sill Bathroom – sharp tile edges on bath hob – tile layout needed a little more thought , my children have cut themselves on these tiles Toilet – 4 marks on back of door at even height from top and bottom Toilet – door not painted top and bottom Toilet – chips on window frame Doors – ALL internal doors are missing a 2nd coat of paint on one side Doors – All doors to wet area are missing required paint on top and bottom to seal them Paint – bits of roller left in the paint throughout the house, these need to be knocked off and patched Ensuite – silicon beading around top of tiles in shower recess where it meets the ceiling as per the Handover items requiring attention form Bathroom – cold tap drips, have to turn it really really hard to turn it off All the tiling stuff has been referred back to North Adelaide tiling, so I have to wait for them to call and send someone out. All in all the maintence guy had to come back 3 times to get it all done. But he did every thing that I listed (minus the tiling stuff). Including painting all the doors! Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
