Your paint colours are lovely, I considered flokati, but instead went for 'white pepper' everywhere, it is also being used on the walls of the 'old house' as we had plenty left over. I was so glad the painting was finished here...only to have to start at the old house, but we needed to get rid of the bright peach/pink before selling, and it was in every room. Good luck with all the unpacking and settling in.... we still have boxes everywhere.... cant wait until we finally get things organised, may take a while though!

Enjoy it Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Here we go- latest news 448Jul 15, 2009 11:02 am very slack as this is straight from the blog It's been a busy half week. Hubby and I both had birthdays. We've still got a mound of boxes in the office but this will hopefully begin to change soon. I really was keen to get Billy bookcases in the black/brown colour , trouble was the cost to get Ikea to deliver them was well over $300 or a private random moonlighting removalist at least $150 to do the same. Anyway we went to the local Officeworks(35 kms away)to check out their filing cabinets and to take another look at their bookcases. I'd previously only seen the 1800 height ones in dark colours but wanted to double check. Found they had some very ordinary "cherry" bookcases in the 2020 size i was looking for for $30 less than the lovely ikea ones I had my heart set on. Decided on the budget SOHO filing cabinets they had but they only had them in grey and I was keen to continue my black/dark brown theme in the office. Discovered they had some timber look ones for an extra $9 each, much more attractive than the grey ones and these could be delivered. Long and short of the story is I rang the 1300 number and ended up ordering 7 bookcases in the cherry ( grimace) and 2 filing cabinets. All up costs was around $1, 034......WAIT FOR IT there's more!!!!!!! I ordered at 9am Monday morning and yesterday ( Tuesday) at 10.30 a big yellow delivery van rolled up with 2 4 drawer filing cabinets and all the shelving for the 7 bookcases, backs and sides to come today. AND!!!!!!! delivery was $44! So it seems the office will be cherry/ black-brown now. oh well. I've saved around $500. Couldn't resist the bargain. We'll be very busy putting all these together. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ More wins. The local ( 35kms away) Crazy Clarkes, ( Super cheap discount store) had black trestle tables 2m in length. 30% off. So I bought 2 and got someone we know locally to pick them up for us for basically the cost of fuel. so for $110 including delivery cost we now have a 4 m work bench area in the office. ATM it's covered with items but eventually there will be shelving above the 2nd bench to hold all my wiring, cables, spare hd's and other equipment. Very pleased with this. Delighted to report our broadband is back on. Was very worried at there were only 3 spare ports. One of the reasons I was happy to move to this town( it was on of the criteria) was that broadband was available so I would have been gutted to not have been able to access it. Picked up my sewing machine yesterday after it was given a service so I should be able to make up the curtains for our bedroom. Yippee. Hubby spent Monday putting up a retractable clothes line in the garage and 6 curtain rods and rails. Even without curtians on the ones in our bedroom and the lounge the rooms somehow seem more finished. These are the cushions we found for the couch. We looked at suede type cushions but felt the cushions needed to be a different texture to the couch as they just looked lost. I couldn't find anything with embroidery we liked and then saw these. Simple ones in colours that suited. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our office and minor bedroom carpet.

It's a deep chocolate colour. The flash has washed it out. To give you an idea of how washed out it is the lounge is black leather and it looks brown in these photos.

But that could just be because I'm SLOW. Your house is looking great! Loving your colors. Building with PD - Regent 23 Cascades on Clyde Estate HomeOne Building Thread - PCI Completed - 28th August.

I think it will take more than 2 days to do the lot. Hubby has said he doesn't want to start today which is fine by me. Re: Here we go- latest news 453Jul 16, 2009 7:02 pm Your office carpet, it was one that we liked as well, probably would have gone with that if we had got ours from Carpet Court, we ended up choosing one with squares further apart.... I think...ohhh my memory is fading. Re: Here we go- latest news 455Jul 18, 2009 9:13 pm My bits SUH lol Well here we are. saturday evening. Dh put together 7 bookcases today . his back is killing him I've emptied at least 20 boxes and the bookcases are looking 3/4 full but a mess, nothing in any order just everything shoved anywhere. and I've found things I need to dump, it's been so long since I glanced at them I know I don't need them, the bookcases still look "poo" coloured. but for $500 dollars saved they were a bargain so what can I expect. The office still has at least 15 boxes and 3 crates to go. Some will not get emptied. I've left enough space to stack crates at the end of the bookcases. This is what it is likely to look like eventually. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ of course these images are based on the ikea program so the trestle table are actually only 2 tables with 4 legs each not 12. the filing cabinets are a black/brown wood look colour. We have 2 cahirs for lounging in in this room ( in black)both funnily enough are ikea chairs but I couldn't find them in the program. They face the space between the windows where a cd/record/hi fi player sits. For those quiet times we hope to get once we've unpacked more.

We have a couple of the grey filing cabinets, one is plastered with stickers from the kids, and I have thought of painting them both actually, but not sure what colour, think I'll leave them alone for now. And by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Re: Here we go- latest news 459Jul 21, 2009 6:56 pm hahah nice one Pebble. we only had the choice of the charcoal or a greenish cream but that chocolate colour is lovely. it's so nice and soft to walk on too. My kids love it. They were rolling around on the floor ( like kids rolling down a lawned hill slope) when they first saw it in their rooms.
