I had built the opening to 20mm wider and 10mm higher than the ikea dimensions to allow me to fit them in. That way I will place a 10mm packer on each side and create a negative detail. Should look good once it's done. The wife and I spent most of yesterday putting cabinets together. They fit nicely though I still have to level them up etc before fixing into the wall. The cabinets are a washed oak laminate matched with Matt white front doors. Here is my daughters room. She gets the bigger one.

These tiles are 1.6mm brass and they are not coated so they age with a greenish patina. You either love them of hate them. They will only be used in our ensuite.

My trades were causing chaos with street parking - I was secretly loving it! My tilers started waterproofing over the screed and my tiles arrived. All 200m2 of it! They will officially start tiling on Monday. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also my external blind systems were finished off and tested. They are going to be great. They have both wind and sun sensors and infinite programming options.

He also pointed the old limestone wall. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Great build. I may have missed it but where/who supplied the external blind system? I would them for my western windows. OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 292Aug 06, 2016 4:07 pm Finally got our next delivery of steel doors. These are for our master bedroom. First coat of paint done. Only 3 more to go.

Firstly they take forever to make. Then they need to be painted 5 times. 1x zinc primer, 2x epoxy paint and finally 2x finishing coats which in my case is mica paint. I'm definitely regretting doing all the painting my self. Oh and..... Then after all that they get installed during which they normally get damaged and you paint again.  Once installed the glass goes in.  Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 296Aug 08, 2016 11:47 pm Wow love the tiles! Can't believe your tiler cut those up for you! He must be very meticulous! Is you move in date still end of August? Mine has moved so slowly I think it's like the first week of October, We're will missing the stone to benches, further tiling of pantry and 2 bathroom niche, balustrade installation, painting! Final electrical fitting, and final toilet shower fittings. So much to do still! ☹️ Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 298Aug 09, 2016 1:41 am  Building4my3totsWow love the tiles!

We also still have so much to do. I've taken next week off work to try to catch up. I've been checking up on your build too. You just need a couple of productive weeks from your trades and your there. OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 299Aug 09, 2016 1:44 am  hrvat_icaYour tiles are  I love how unique your home is..
