Melsie I've got a list for my next one too. lol Really happy with this one... don't get me wrong.... but have learned a lot about building and what I like in this process. Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - SHUTTERS 243Sep 08, 2014 6:25 pm Your shutters are gorgeous!!! Certainly jealous here My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - SHUTTERS 244Sep 08, 2014 7:21 pm Oh my gosh, I have some serious shutter envy. WOW! Just wow. Okay, give me the lowdown, who did you use, were you happy and did you do every room or just the living spaces?? I am really at a loss as to what I am going to do, we've always had roller blinds (see through ones) with curtains over the top and then the back sliders have always just been curtains. I'd love to do shutters, I am even prepared for the cleaning. But that treatment on your back slider has sold me .... gorgeous! Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - SHUTTERS 245Sep 08, 2014 8:33 pm Thank you Burnsfirsttime. Marcia we used Boardwalk Shutters - I got about 7 different quotes by phone/ email by sending in exact measurements (there was a huge difference between quotes). I really wanted the back sliding door done in a shutter - but had all the windows in that room done in shutters as I wasn't sure if it would look weird. We also got the theater done as a shutter as there was only a $60 difference between shutters and venetians. Venetians are worked out on the width of the window and shutters are worked out on price per m2 and that is a very wide window but also skinny. We are having white venetians on the rest of the house so it will all be white horizontal slats which will be enough continuity. We "might" upgrade these later down the track but doing them as shutters was way out of our price range at the moment. We had our front windows tinted for privacy so you cannot see the treatments on those from the outside (also venetians). Also, not all places do sliding shutters and not all sliding shutters are the same (as in some you need the slats closed before you slide them or they hit each other, I really didn't want that). Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - SHUTTERS 246Sep 08, 2014 8:39 pm OMG I love the shutters .....they are beautiful <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - SHUTTERS 247Sep 09, 2014 12:55 am Can't wait for ours either. Boardwalk's customer service was outstanding. My Thread (Halls Head Beach House): viewtopic.php?f=31&t=67006 Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - SHUTTERS 248Sep 09, 2014 12:58 am Thank you AKB! They really are. Agreed Mr Smith - and it carried through to their installers too. They arrived on time to the second and were really careful not to damage our floors. Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 249Sep 09, 2014 1:08 pm The house is feeling like a newly renovated character home.... but modern.
Modern vintage by the sea. Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 250Sep 09, 2014 5:59 pm Skirting board cost has gone up $330 as the floor isn't even and there is extra work involved now.
Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 251Sep 09, 2014 6:01 pm Absolutely gorgeous!! House looks Oh so beautiful. Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 252Sep 09, 2014 6:02 pm Beautiful room with the shutter and wood floor colour!

Looks so awesome. It feels like my home is so far off from this I will never get there. My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 254Sep 09, 2014 6:15 pm wow, the skirt choice was a good one! The shutters look lovely too. Do you have a wooden sill inside the windows as part of shutter isntallation or do they remain brick/plaster finish? Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 255Sep 09, 2014 7:30 pm Thank you Belzey, Hootie and Burnsfirsttime.
Beazley - No wooden sill, it is plaster. These are not sills we would ever use to put things on. I think the shutters will be shut (but with slats open when we want sunlight) pretty much all the time. Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 256Sep 09, 2014 9:15 pm hey Joyful we are going through Boardwalk too for bedroom shutters their quote was impossible to beat Im glad to hear that the service is great as some are terrible Can you please pm me the name of the skirting board company? your floors do look amazing! well done. Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 257Sep 09, 2014 9:19 pm I don't think anyone's floor is even and walls straight . And you find that out quickly when you put flooring in . We are doing our skirtings ourselves . And we are finding at the same thing . Once we finish we are going to fill the gaps . But in saying that they are not to bad . Thank god I use enjo not a lot of water while mopping lol Might leave it . Re: Joyfulbuilder WA - Content-Living - Skirting Boards 258Sep 09, 2014 9:21 pm That's what I think too Melsie.
