How is the pendant looking going?? Have you been to the lighting shop at redbank plains? JD lighting they are really good. I am the same with making choices I know I need to do it so I just focus on it and get it done. Sometimes I’ll make room ideas with colours and furniture, just a Pinterest thing so I can see if it works. I’ve got some great fails . Hope your get your hat on tomorrow Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 122Feb 21, 2018 10:04 pm I second JD lighting, my pendants came from there down to me in sydney Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 123Feb 21, 2018 10:07 pm Dani_J sparrowsnest Did you ask to adjust the windows once the frame was already up? I feel like the kids bedroom windows are too close together but I thought it would be too late to change . Have you looked at this website https://www.discountlighting.com.au/int ... handeliers they seemed to have ones similar to the one you’ve posted above if I recall. Yep, sure did. Not the position mind, just the height, so just moving them up if you know what I mean. Thanks for this. I have been on every Aussie website let me tell you! But hard to keep track so I'll check again. Hey Dani, I thought of you when I saw this house listed for sale. It’s in the Estate over from our first build on the coast (I used to drool driving past 🤭) it has a stunning American/hamptons style. It was also on grand designs Australia. https://m.realestate.com.au/property-ho ... -126720270 Sorry to bomb your thread SN Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 124Feb 22, 2018 5:11 am Tribe7 Hey Dani, I thought of you when I saw this house listed for sale.

Looks like it could be one of those houses on that Revenge tv show. Needless to say ours won’t be anything like that and on a much smaller scale. Great for inspo though! Had a laugh when I saw the tv in the laundry. If you need one of those, you’re probably spending way too much time in there lol Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 125Feb 22, 2018 9:13 am sparrowsnest Front facade options Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I bought these on a very good sale at IKEA months and months ago for the kitchen.

That house is amazing Tribe. Even if I had a house that size I bet the kids would still be always hanging out in the same room as me lol. It’s been raining and will apparently be raining for the rest of the week so likely no roof for us this week I haven’t finished choosing my pendants but I’ve been off to Reece today to try and choose my towel rails and toilet roll holders. For something so seemingly inconsequential it’s hard to decide. Dear husband thinks heated towel rails in Queensland is ludicrous but I’m undecided. I think a nice warm towel on a cold winter morning would be amazing but I don’t know if I want to pay so much for the privilege.

Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 131Feb 22, 2018 2:13 pm How much is the cost to upgrade to a heated towel rail? I'm with you, I love a warm towel after a shower in winter Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 132Feb 22, 2018 7:48 pm allblaqk How much is the cost to upgrade to a heated towel rail? I'm with you, I love a warm towel after a shower in winter It’s $30 per rail difference between the heated and non heated version of this one, plus whatever the electrician would charge. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ But if I wasn’t getting heated I think I would just get the hooks instead of a rail which would be about $1000 cheaper.

I want so so many but I know practically I'll probably just end up with the ones over the kitchen bench (I've always said they would be my little "splurge" item) have you decided yet which ones you're going to go with?
