Tell me about it, I went to see my $1k tap this morning and look what I got  Like  ⋅  Add a comment  ⋅  Pin to Ideaboard  ⋅  Share
No damn tap but I gained a cane toad. I’m so thrilled 🤨

Tribe, these look amazing! Love them all! My problem has been that I keep seeing different sorts of lights that I like even though we've purchased ours in readiness too! Husband just steers me away from any lighting displays when we're out and about. Can't wait to see it all installed for you!

Hey SN,

How are the days off going? Must be nice to be human again and not on a weird body clock.

So what’s the pendant light choices so far? Uhm art work, prints etc are a personal thing. I tend to buy what I like when I see it and will shove it somewhere and hope it looks good. If you are buying some pricey pieces maybe make up some moods boards of the room using Pinterest. I just name mine and go to town on what looks ok together, gives me an idea on scales, colours and not blending palette or styles drastically. Matching little things like a detail on your pendant light to the frame color of the print, a texture in a throw rug to a texture in a canvas, I read an article about the subtle way to make interiors cohesive, while allowing art work and furniture items to be individual. Clearly I need to stop reading this stuff hopefully it helps you. It has helped me (maybe )

Days off have been amazing and are coming to an end too soon.
I think I need to start reading those articles! Our current house is a mishmash of whatever I could get on sale when I needed it and ikea pieces. I really want to style my spaces in the new house and have a cohesive style. It’s all new to me though. I also have to think about how pieces will stand up to three kids. Things can look amazing on Pinterest but I wonder how good they will look after my three get to them 🤣. I imagine you have the same .

I love your window change![/quote]

Thanks I’m excited about the window too.

Days off would be good, it’s such a shame the fun things fly by.

I seriously find those articles really helpful, I tend to read the American ones more than Aussie ones, they seem to blend a lot more styles than here. I’ll find the links to some that I read and post them on your thread

Very much agree about looks versus durability. I’ve blended mine a bit, our couches where $2k each and they jump on them not stupid amounts but they defiantly jump up on them. So I don’t know if spending a fortune for couches is a grand idea, they have held up really well though. Only wish was the covers could be removed and washed. We have a Tasmanian Blackwood kitchen hutch which is lovely and will go in our dining area, that was pricey, but I will not spend a lot on dining chairs and table, side tables or coffee tables as they can define a style very easily. I’ve found I can change those items easily without Mr T raising his eyebrows 🤨 do buy a good quality tv cabinet, our good one was from funky retro in Melbourne and is solid and stylish. I did buy a cheap one recently and it’s so crap and has bowed. I will buy another good quality cabinet. I picked up those cool besides for my little boys for $80 each from TK Maxx. I also won’t spend lots on prints and wall hangings because I get sick of them quickly.

Here is an idea for the pretty copper lights you got from ikea, for something different you could stagger stack them at one end,  Like  ⋅  Add a comment  ⋅  Pin to Ideaboard  ⋅  Share

Look up ikea and Kmart hacks too

Oh no Joggles, stay strong and steer clear of the lighting displays. I refuse to look once Ive brought them to avoid the doubt . What have you picked for your pendants? I hope your home is progressing along nicely too

That looks great, I rarely like single story plans but I really like this one! And I think the study nook change is a good move
