And your yard looks like its a perfect size too Coral - Marcoola 32 in QLD Thank you kiki, it's very manageable Re: First Home - Custom Design in Ipswich - Landscaping Star 328Feb 14, 2018 9:09 am Agree with Gr8ly your very lucky to be able to change things. I painted all our fences in basalt and it looked great. Shame you couldn’t have it at half strength. Looking forward to seeing the new colour though. I went to bunnings yesterday and checked out the pendants too, they have a really good range and the guy was awesome with advise about our external path and pool lighting. I picked my pendant for my entry and over the island bench last night Your yard looks awesome and so flat, you can always paint the concrete sleepers and plant a creeper along the top to cascade down over the wall for a pretty affect. A huge congratulations on your keys date too .

I think it would be cool, but husband is not convinced.

I totally agree with you to change the blue render will make it look even better. BTW do you need to buy lamps for all the other rooms? If not what do you do with the lightings, such as in all the bedrooms?:th: Re: First Home - Custom Design in Ipswich - Landscaping Star 331Feb 15, 2018 7:33 am camee212 Last Sunday, I went to South Ripley again to check out the Metricon display homes there and did go see your beautiful house.

They have started on the carpet - I'm not loving the colour, it looks very chocolatey compared to how it looked at colour selections... We took a little piece home though and in this normal lighting it looks right - a med grey with silver fleck. I really hate how brown it looks in the house though... Wardrobe fit out happened too during the week too so i've added some pics!
