I am tempted by the Apollo bedroom suite from Focus on Furniture, but its not cheap and doesn't come with a mattress ;; the other option is to buy a really good ensemble for now, then add head board and bedsides later on. Ooh, yeah I would avoid Fantastic if you can, they are cheap but not sure about the quality. So true Shazaw, I really want to buy good quality stuff but the money is going to run out long before I've got everything I need I'm sure. Just have to focus on the most important pieces for now, rather than trying to buy everything at once... Unfortunately we've had some sad news, one of our dogs went blind last year and we've just found out that one of his eyes now needs to be removed ;-; Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 363Dec 23, 2016 9:58 pm Hmmmmm... *checks floor plan and elevations* Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Interestingly in the en suite floor plan it does show a semi recessed basin (which I totally didn't notice), but in the elevations it shows the opposite. I really did not check these plans over thoroughly enough. XD The main bathroom is the same, floor plan semi recessed, elevation is not. These are the basins I was told I would be getting, so I just assumed they wouldn't be recessed. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It does seem I'm going to have recessed in the en suite, and normal in the main bathroom. Not what I want, but I can live with it (I hope ). They haven't followed the linen closet in the plans at all!! But I can live with that too.

Unfortunately we've had some sad news, one of our dogs went blind last year and we've just found out that one of his eyes now needs to be removed ;-; No one function well if sleep is deprived so a good bed is a must. Bedside can wait. ( I had a chair as bedside for nearly a year till I found suitable bedside). A couch is needed for you and guest to sit on as for coffee table just get a cheap one now and replace it later when your piggy bank fills up for a nicer coffee table you really loves. Sorry to hear your doggy is not well.

I will end up getting microwave, kettle, toaster, vacuum and bits and pieces too. But things like dining table will have to wait. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 366Dec 24, 2016 4:11 pm Saw my house! Let me count the ways in which I love my house.. No major changes, just a bit of a tidy up inside and out. Some rails have been installed into the WIR and BIRs.. and it looks like some plumbing work may have been done in the bathrooms, but can't tell much from peaking through the windows. Also met the wonderful Cap So nice to meet you and say hello Cap.

Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 371Dec 24, 2016 8:04 pm Very nice Dawn!! I love the stools. Hubby and I will be purchasing an ensemble so that we can change the headboard when we get tired of the look instead of having to purchase another frame GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 372Dec 24, 2016 8:26 pm This is the same thought I'm having.. and head boards don't have to be too expensive.. some nice ones are available reasonably priced also means I can change bed side tables... so I think I will go down this path rather than a timber frame bed. Also, massive sales!! The one I'm looking at is 50% off.. saving of about $2500 Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 373Dec 24, 2016 9:07 pm That's a massive saving, hubby and I plan to brave the masses for Boxing Day sales, we are hoping to get an ensemble, table and chairs, lounge and possibly a TV, not sure on the TV because of warranty starting while the TV is sitting in storage, just depends on price lol.

GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 In regards to warranty. I find the good guys warranty a lot better than harvey norman. Gg will credit the purchase price where hn will give you credit for what you could supposedly buy it for today. Which is near half the price. I'm also looking for bargains, online though.

The place I want to buy my linens from is having a great sale starting tomorrow.. but already their website says they are out of stock of towels and bath mats I have found a bed I like, shop has a sale on until 31st of January... but Focus on Furniture have a big sale on for 3 days.. so could change my mind. Need to go to Good Guys to check out their sales tomorrow.. so much to do, not enough time! Does anyone know if Appliances Online do sales? Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 378Dec 26, 2016 7:27 am aloenyx Does anyone know if Appliances Online do sales? Hi Dawn, I just received an email from Appliance online "up to 43% off store wide boxing day sale" Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Wk 13 - Fixing Stage Com 379Dec 26, 2016 4:24 pm Awesome. I looked at their online sales, but nothing jumped out at me. I went to Good Guys today and put all my white goods on order. Got a washing machine, dryer, fridge, microwave, vacuum, kettle, toaster, hand mixer.. Just working out whether I got good deals or not, their boxing day sales weren't that exciting but I did get a few discounts here and there. No major discount for buying a package though ;-; and they forgot to give me 10% off the fridge so back to see them tomorrow.
