Help cant ! 6May 21, 2009 4:59 pm I got mine from a place called Pots'N'Pots http://www.potsnpots.com.au/. It was only $100 as it had a small chip on the corner. From memory they only had cream and black but you can still paint them. They are in Sydney Rd. Coburg so might be a little bit out of your way but if you are in the area well worth dropping in and having a look around. Re: Letterbox..

Do you have access to NCC Part 2 or can you download it? I can email you a copy… 10 12542 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7200 |
