Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 7Feb 03, 2018 5:25 pm No real plans for pendant lights yet, I think once the walls are up and we get more of a feeling for the space we can make some lighting decisions. So far we just have downlights. I do know what I want in the picture recess at the end of the entry hallway: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ An indoor vertical garden! That's why we chose a front door with a lot of glass to let in natural light. It's getting much more real and exciting now, can't wait to get started! ~ Emma Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 8Feb 03, 2018 5:59 pm gr8ly block looks great - not a neighbour in sight! Not yet! We are Stage 1 in a new estate. All the surrounding blocks are a quarter acre (like ours) or a full acre so we won't be living on top of anyone! ~ Emma Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 9Feb 04, 2018 9:33 am That’s a good plan, once you can see the space the lighting choice might be easier to choose. Wow that will be a feature and a half to walk in and see a living wall. I’m going to wallpaper, I’ve found some lovely ones at Laura Ashley and Sheridan. I have to agree I’m really looking forward to getting started and seeing the pool go in Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 11Feb 12, 2018 2:43 pm Still *patiently* awaiting Council but now can't stop thinking about pendant lighting!

Just need a money tree! ~ Emma Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 12Feb 12, 2018 5:57 pm that light reflects a nice pattern as well.. will be very moody Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 13Feb 12, 2018 9:01 pm I’m with you on the pendant light procrastination I love the Tom Dixon web etch ( I maybe be biased though) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ we had a web etch over our stair case void in our first build. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ we also had a linear pendant light over our island bench, I do have to agree a light to match the length of the bench would be better. Have a look at this thread, Henry used a stunning linear pendant over her island, page 27 for the pics Stoked your tree got removed but boo to council i hope they hurry up. Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 14Feb 21, 2018 8:19 pm This would look amaaaaazing!! <3 <3 Excited to follow along with your journey! Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 16Feb 22, 2018 5:47 am I'm hoping we should be out by the end of this week, maybe early next week! I've been stalking the DA Tracker and have called once to give our application a gentle nudge but I don't want to step on any toes by calling again and risk getting put to the bottom of the pile. I'm itching to get started! ~ Emma Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 17Feb 22, 2018 5:48 am Thank you, I've been watching your build too! ~ Emma Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 20Feb 28, 2018 1:37 pm Finally we have Council approval and will maybe actually break ground next month!!
