Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 41Feb 08, 2011 3:56 pm I'm on a roll now .... I have suddenly acquired a passion for aqua (even though my favourite colour is purple) - I think it will look gorgeous with the browns and creams. Let me know what you think.

We didn't mean to get such a big house - we started off "down sizing" but the only thing that has shrunk is the garden!!

Hi Rebecca, I know where you're coming from - in high school our uniform was brown and yellow (yuk!) but that's the beauty of colours - it's such a personal choice - you either love it or hate it.

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 58Feb 09, 2011 3:40 pm Nice colour selections A. I just noticed that we have the same bench top in our laundries. I love the aqua too & I recognisied straight away that it was a plush ad as I have 2 lounges & an ottoman from there. A big yay for getting progress dates, it's good to know when things are going to happen.

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 60Feb 09, 2011 8:46 pm Oh yes a daily walk by is a must & I don't think your dog will mind either. How lucky are you to be able to see the daily progress of your build. When we were building we lived a 40 min drive away so only really got out there on weekends.
