Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jul 15, 2010 8:50 am Hi there! I am building at the moment, and have spent the last ...seems like forever, making fully lined roman blinds for all my windows.... BUT, they have recently fitted my front door... which is this one; http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab130/wemyss_castle/IMAG0115.jpg excuse the overall appearance of the front, its still under construction! I think either plantation shutters, or venetians would compliment the door.... both from inside and out... ALSO, we are having bamboo flooring throughout, apart from the formal lounge and bedrooms... some of my internal colours are below; http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab130/wemyss_castle/IMAG0081.jpg My paint colour is hogs bristle SO, I am thinking of maybe having bamboo venetians to compliment the bamboo flooring, and also the horizontal lines of the front door.... they are suprisingly cheap too, which is even better! http://www.cheapa-blinds.com.au/showpho ... 6&catID=42 Does anyone have them or any other ideas, and if so could you please post pics and comments THANKYOU!
