Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 21, 2012 12:10 pm I am back and ready to complete our home from the inside prior to starting the outside!! We have big plans for outdoors, which we really hope, compliment the indoor space. I need advice and or knowledge to help me with my final decisions. 1: KITCHEN http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2176/photo4rh.jpg http://s19.postimage.org/pc5k5u90j/IMG_3229.jpg For our kitchen I need help with choosing an accessory for the corner of our kitchen bench. I am thinking of purchasing a mix master. I am hoping my bf will buy one for my birthday or Christmas!! Pendants, I was thinking of purchasing 3 light globe pendants with the black cord to hang over the island bench and to plaster up the original light?? Unsure as to what to do here this space is confusing me!! http://www.beaconlighting.com.au/lighting/pendant-lights/azuka-1-light-led-pendant-in-clear-glass.html Pendant Lights We will be upgrading our kitchen bench top to a ceaser stone bench top in white with a waterfall bench top for the island bench!! Splashback: We will be changing this to a mirrored splashback so it will reflect our plans for a bamboo screen outside the dining area. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I_kuEfJ5iAY/TOPFtOBVfcI/AAAAAAAAACU/O-GZXNZXUCw/s1600/Madders%2BKitchens%2BPictures%2B100.jpg Mirror Splashback 2: DINING http://s19.postimage.org/ivwlfr0gz/photo.jpg http://s19.postimage.org/5t0ywha8z/photo_10.jpg What to do here I struggle with this area I like the plants however they die as they are not in full sunlight. I was thinking of purchasing two feature pendants most likely the same as kitchen pendants and hang from either side of the buffet, however bf plans to place a air con reverse cycle where the clock is and we will move the clock to a vacant wall near kitchen. I like the displays on top of the buffet, I was thinking of purchasing some candle wax to pour into the glass vase to make a large candle ☺ What to do in this area?? I am definitely wanting to place a rug under the dining table, however unsure as to which pattern or colours our house is very much.. black, white, purple, blue and yellow accents. With my glass jar what can I display in here?? Everything I put in their sweats!! I am thinking of moving a palm plant to beside the black couch underneath my home made artwork today, tomorrow, always and forever, water paints!! LOVE!! 3: LIVING http://s19.postimage.org/5wuscqfqb/photo_9.jpg http://s19.postimage.org/so3uz50rn/photo_2.jpg AHHHHH!!

HELP!! 4: ENTRANCE http://s19.postimage.org/8xbmt9r1f/photo_5.jpg Love our entrance, 2 questions which rug will look good in this area??

Look forward to hearing from you soon!! delaneykeyde xx Our Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=30685 Re: our decorating indecision continues..

HELP! 3Aug 22, 2012 5:47 pm Dining room I like the lemons in your jar, it adds a lovely pop of colour. Couldn't you replace it faux lemons? If the clock is going and a split system aircon is taking it's spot you could hang a few smaller framed artwork under the air con. Or you could rest a bigger piece of canvas art on the buffet. One pendant next to the buffet might be nicer than one on either side (might look too matchy - just my opinion). Entrance I like it just the way it is. Kitchen Mix master sound great for kitchen accessory. I might steel your ideal and get one for my kitchen. Do you think the kitchen would swallow up the single bulb pendant you've picked? A larger pendant might be better. I assume it is going above in the middle of the island bench. Re: our decorating indecision continues.. HELP! 4Aug 23, 2012 6:47 am Thanks for your feedback ladies!! I was thinking of doing 3 pendants over the bench and remove the central light.. So we can only use the pendants!! Too matchy matchy if I do the other too I agree ) I think I'll leave the buffet as is until we do get te aircon.. Could be a while haha Our Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=30685 Re: our decorating indecision continues.. HELP! 5Aug 23, 2012 6:40 pm Do you use a mixmaster or do you simply want one as a decoration, perhaps I'm misunderstanding? The thing I noticed in the pic is the plants, are they real, I know plants are healthy for cleaning indoor air but I don't know about having potting mix in a food prep area, even if they did do it on The Block? Re: our decorating indecision continues.. HELP! 6Aug 25, 2012 12:03 pm Hi jazz.. It's to use.. Definitely not going to spend that amount on something to just look good.. And the flowers they are real and we prepare all food on our island bench and on the other side.. Plus potting mix is safe for use indoors and outdoors!! Re: our decorating indecision continues..

I don't have a problem with potting mix in the kitchen. A potted plant is never to far away from me. I'll be having them in my new kitchen again.

You do need some mood lighting in the dining space, but pendants either side of the cabinet ....no I don't think so. Either get yourself a nice floor lamp for the far corner next to the glass door, or a table lamp for the cabinet. Your palms look Kentia Palms? They are not very good indoor palms unless in the right environment. If you want a plant there get a Peace Lilly, they make excellent indoor plants. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I really like your table arrangement, I have always liked that sort of set up. Rug - No pattern, it needs to mirror you rug in the lounge room, but possibly off white? Your jar with the lemons in it....its sweats because its in sunlight and the lid is closed, either take the lid off and place it beside the jar or see if you can keep the lid open slightly some way. Glue some small door/draw rubber stoppers to the top lid, you can get these from kitchen suppliers. They are so small you can hardly see them. Everything else looks good. Give these changes a try and see how you go. You timber cabinet is just what I'm looking for my dining room.
