That bedroom is to die for, love the mirror, it's very striking, same goes for the pendants. If our place looks half as good as yours, I'll be very happy. Congrats, you have awesome taste Aw thats so lovely! Thanks so much, its slowly getting there my poor partner has to deal with my bossy boots when it comes to styling our home hahahaa. Luckily enough he approves it all Re: Simonds Sierra - Adelaide, South Australia 105Jun 07, 2016 10:50 am Oh forgot to mention our little hiccup since handover! Our airconditioning guys came to assess our home and informed us that a whole wall didnt have insulation within our roof and that there were bags of insulation left up there. We had no idea about it so we contacted our site supervisor straight away as our airconditioning guys couldnt do the job until it was fixed up. The insulation guys came to our house a couple of days after, and when they arrived they asked what the problem was and said "we always leave extra bags, its probably just extra", trying to dismiss our claim. I looked at them with a blank face and said well thats not what my airconditoning guys said, and we cant get our system installed without that whole empty wall done. To say the least, both men looked pretty embarrassed coming down from the ladder after an hour of being in our roof, leaving with empty bags of insulation from fixing up a whole wall. Had I had known, we would have been up in that roof before handover to inspect lol! Re: Simonds Sierra - Adelaide, South Australia 106Jun 07, 2016 10:55 am That's handy to know. The more I read, the more I think we will need an independent inspector to ensure our peace of mind. Where did you get your window dressings from? They look fab Re: Simonds Sierra - Adelaide, South Australia 107Jun 07, 2016 11:03 am Marshall5858 That's handy to know. The more I read, the more I think we will need an independent inspector to ensure our peace of mind. Where did you get your window dressings from? They look fab Would be totally worth it, theres so many things that you can miss. We also had a minor issue with our carpet as they left an overhang of the carpets through every doorway of the bedrooms as they didnt know how far in our tiler would place our tiles. Once our tiler had done his job, we were wondering whether or not the carpet people would come back to trim the carpets to the edge of the tile, we emailed to find out and its apparently not a part of our contract! I was puzzled cause it just looked like an incomplete job, luckily enough, my dad saved the day with his trusty stanley knife and fixed it all up the next day. And thanks! ? We did our curtains (sheer and blockout lining) through Northside Curtains and Blinds, just off from Main North Road. Theyre a tad pricey but they turned out so lovely.

Where did you get those pendants? They're stunning! Hahaha thanks so much! Theyre from beacon lighting, we got them on sale! Not sure if theyre on sale at the moment, theyre a bit pricey. For the three of them (two big and one small) we paid over $800. If we paid full price we would be paying over $1000. Luckily enough we have a friend who is an electrician so he installed them for free, and we trimmed the cord of the middle pendant to create an arch look. My taste isnt really friendly to our savings though LoL!! Re: Simonds Sierra - Adelaide, South Australia 111Jun 07, 2016 11:24 pm Gorgeous!!! Especially the picture of the two of you on the doorstep with the keys! Re: Simonds Sierra - Adelaide, South Australia 116Jun 07, 2016 11:47 pm Hahaha not a problem at all! I absolutely adore them, more than happy to share some pics! Good luck!! ??? Re: Simonds Sierra - Adelaide, South Australia 117Jun 28, 2016 11:31 am So we are pretty much close to being a fully furnished home now! Apart from bedroom 4/study, that room remains empty until finances permit hahaha. Heres some photos of changes in the main areas, our spare bedrooms, both lounges and the other bathroom. Im slowly getting there with the decorating! Its been such a wonderful experience having close family and friends over, so far everyone loves our home ?
