Those master bedroom pendants are awesome.

Thanks twin_dad. I found them on Wayfair, I hope they look as good in real life. I guess I'll find out in a few weeks!

Oh but this gal also loves the man cave light- I like the industrial vibe. And the bling guest room light. In fact all great choices!

Thanks trees, I like having variety in the house

I think they do 2 layers of plastering, the first layer is a grey render (float), then they do a layer of white plaster (white set), and then the plaster gets painted.

Wow, I had no idea, sounds like a lot of work. Funny how much building houses varies from state to state, it is very rare to have that in my area (never seen a display home that way) yet in your area it is probably the same for gyprock ::wornout::

Pendants are all very stylish, off to look at Wayfair......

Your way sounds faster!

Cavity sliders I'm so jealous! I like all of your pendants trixee, but the man cave and kitchen ones are my favourites. Sorry to hear they're slowing down a bit I'll keep fingers crossed they're soon back to full speed action

Hi Trixee. Your house is coming along beautifully. Love your pendants! How is your kitchen coming along? I've ordered some samples of the Cleaf Yosmite. I'm also rather keen on the Nero.

Gypsyhabitat · Jul 08, 2015 7:05 pm

The lights are all beautiful! I love the man cave pendant!

Thanks admodra! We got the kitchen pendants today. They were well packaged and look great. It has a lovely matt finish on the outside and shiny silver on the inside. Perfect size I think (hope) for our 2m island. I got it from Zest Lighting, cheapest price I found and delivery was quick.

Kitchen is coming along slooowly, they've only just done the grey float today. I hope you get the big samples, when I rang up to order they only sent me small ones. But they had bigger ones on display at Homebase Expo, hopefully there's something similar near you?

I found an image the other day of what I think is a Cleaf Yosemite kitchen, although I think this one has used the dark brown (walnut?):

You know how sometimes it's just too hard? That's how I felt these last few days, so I couldn't bring myself to spend much time on here.

But I've managed to do a blog past on the grey render, so now I'll go back and check out what I've missed.

It looks like the renderer has melted!

Coming along nicely Trixee! All the hard work and grind will be worth it in the end!

Trixie your grey float looks great! You have such spacious rooms. Hopefully not long till white set.

Gypsyhabitat · Jul 09, 2015 2:25 am

That photo is definitely a keeper! I love it

Trixee i've had that feeling many times! Just need to ride it out and keep looking forward; you'll get through it

Hi Trixee, just checked out your blog (rare that I leave H1, but still

) to see your render photos. And then I saw your bedroom inspiration pics. I've been keeping this pic for when I decide to redecorate my bedroom so thought you might like to see it as well! Very restful imo. No wall length mirror though!!
