I assume you've looked at other places? You could DIY and do paint or contact or wallpaper, but looking at your other nice things I think you probably wouldn't be happy with the result. What if you promised not to go clothes shopping for a year? Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - vanities hung hamper arrived : 762Jul 29, 2014 12:51 pm Now don't start talking sense to me - You mean I'll happily spend $600 to get a clothes hamper built to my specs but I moaning about an extra $2k for my WIR.....It's ok I'm not really an upcycle kind of girl chances are it would end up looking like a dogs breakfast Hmmmmmmmm <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - vanities hung hamper arrived : 764Jul 29, 2014 9:02 pm Thats some WIR! Going for the open fire too? My DH looked at using Proform for some shelving and cupboards for our study in our last house. They could do white at a really good price but charged a fortune for making it in a colour and we didn't want white in the study. We ended up using JK Hopkins but thats probably not really an option for WIRs but they do make to order.

Thanks Mlb I'm desperate so I think I will shop it around including jk Hopkins Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - vanities hung hamper arrived : 768Jul 29, 2014 11:17 pm Have you tried Lifestyle Wardrobes? I'm not sure if they do different colours though.
Breakfast bar at your sister's is gorgeous. Very talented. Wish I could do that. I'm buying a circular saw next week and attempting a built in black board....and when I say 'built in' I mean I am literally making 8 cuts into picture rails to frame it and hoping there is no blood in the process (the idea scares and excites me at the same time). Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - vanities hung hamper arrived : 769Jul 30, 2014 12:04 am I just had lifestyle wardrobes out today (my plan is in my blog - lime & mortar). Not as large as your layout. I think he said it was extra $1000-2000 for something other than white. Safe to say I'm going with white. Dark colour would make my space feel too small.

Nope I haven't tried Lifestyle yet they are next on my list I was thinking if I got it custom flatpacked it would be a bit cheaper but that was probably just an assumption I was making. Good on you for picking up a circular saw DH and I have now been together for over 20 years and sometimes DH isn't as quick to come on board my crazy ideas (no one should mention a chook pen around our house) in our first year together I discovered the quickest way to solve this reluctance was to pick up a power tool and attempt the job myself. DH soon learnt that it was much quicker for him to pick up said power tool and do what I wanted than to fix up what I had done and then do what I wanted anyway <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - vanities hung hamper arrived : 772Jul 30, 2014 11:34 am LeanneR I just had lifestyle wardrobes out today (my plan is in my blog - lime & mortar).

You've def got the space for lovely dark laminex Thanks LeanneR I checked out your blog and your plans look great. Another through I had was I remember seeing a thread ages ago where the person had painted the walls of the WIR a bright red so the white really popped out against the wall colour - this is another idea perhaps not a bright red but a dark dark blue or grey? Decisions decisions I had the old Sex and the city movie playing in the office while I was at work last night (the one where Carrie finally gets married to Mr Big and he re does her Closet in the apartment that they never live in) (expect of course I do not have the size 6 designer wardrobe to go in it) <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Perth NOR OB on 5 Acres - vanities hung hamper arrived : 773Jul 30, 2014 11:52 am My walls are Dulux Flooded Gum so the white will pop nicely!

We almost went down the Ikea route with the robe - but for a little more - the Lifestyle wardrobe fits perfectly, with no wasted space and someone else is installing it (although I enjoy putting together Ikea, anything I can outsource at this point I will as there is just so much to do and little bit of a timeline happening in my belly). My robe is fairly small though so there would be a bigger price difference the bigger it gets I assume. Painting the walls is a great idea. I've seen similar on Pinterest but with wallpaper as the feature "behind" the robe.

I've seen similar on Pinterest but with wallpaper as the feature "behind" the robe. Yeah I did toss around with the idea of Ikea but it actually works out more expensive than Proform and Proform like lifestyle wardrobes is built to spec - it just comes flatpacked for you to put together or you can get it put together at the factory for a little bit more I think what I'm going to do is go with the white and then go for a dark colour behind for the white to pop against three of the walls and do the wall that continues into our bedroom in wallpaper as a feature Thanks guys for all your help - Now let me tell you about my struggles with the laundry.................................
