Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2510Jul 05, 2012 4:00 pm I knew exactly what she meant!!! I've been known to do a spot of karchering. "Oi! DS go karcher the ute!!!" ....It is a well used word in this house!!! ~ okjorg viewtopic.php?f=31&t=55196&p=844089#p844089 Settlement date - 13 Jan Final plans - 24 Sept Council approval - 21 Oct First peg in the ground - 7 Nov Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2511Jul 05, 2012 5:34 pm Never heard of that word before Dilemma!! I showed my trusty friend (the one who has an architectural background who has helped me pick and design a lot of the house, in fact she even helped with scouting the original block / house when we first bought 5 years ago...) so this friend is intimately involved and has great taste (even though a tad above my budget). Aaaaannyway, she looked at the pendant and strongly advised against it on the basis that it will date. She also convinced me not to put a pendant in the great room - too much going on with downlight, clerestories, two fans. DH absolutely agrees with her and I can see that now too. So will get the pendant spot capped so I can think about it once we move in. But there will still be a pendant in the stairwell. $950 is a lot of money for a pendant... My friend has suggested I look at David Trubridge pendants (on the basis that more classic / simple / won't date as easily). So now I am totally torn. Here is the link to his lights. I must say, they are rather nice... http://www.davidtrubridge.com/Designs/lighting/ Oh, and carpenters did turn up today and are doing woodwork. At 3.00 DH dropped in and was surprised they had only done master and one other bedroom (but gogo did say they were slow). They reckon they will be finished tomorrow, but I can't see that happening.

IMO the Trubridge pendants are becoming almost "common"-lots of people put them up now.... I know there have been a couple of people on this Forum use them.....as Kiwi says " If it makes YOUR heart sing-then go for it!". Wise woman is Kiwi!

You know I'm good at making up words, morokaing, karchering(high pressure cleaner) Hahahaha at the carpenters, that's about the speed they did our house, a couple of rooms a day, so all of a sudden they are going to do the rest of the house in a day Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2515Jul 05, 2012 5:54 pm Deemaree T-can you post the original pendant that your friend pooh-poohed up on this page?

I am planning on getting either his floral pendant or choosing the protea pendant by Tim Whiteman ( aussie designer). Have seen Trubridge's coral pendant in a few places and it looks great . I think there are pics of the coral pendant in the reno thread '$60,000 on the first step' (or something like that) Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2517Jul 05, 2012 5:57 pm Personally I like your original choice better. I think it is more in keeping with "Casa Qualia".....the Trubridge is too pale IMO.

Particularly as they are becoming so popular. I do like your original choice. That's just as nice as a Trubridge.

Particularly as they are becoming so popular. I do like your original choice. That's just as nice as a Trubridge. Good point Peta and gogo. I have realised though that maybe my original choice (the dark metalic one) is a tad too dark. gogo made a comment on her thread that her dark pendants matched her dark bamboo floors. We are having spotted gum (which is much much lighter) and although dark grey carpet on the stairs (which is where the pendant will go), I am starting to think a light fibre might be the go. But then again we do have dark window frames. Oh my god - I feel like a see-saw!!! making myself dizzy.

I think this one would cast lovely patterns on the wall: http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/40147463/ This is the one we are doing in our entry - mostly because we couldn't agree (I love the David Trubridge but DH doesn't) so we decided to get a cheap one until we saved up for a really fantastic pendant. This one will be ok for a couple of years: http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/produ ... #/60155013 Fig Landscapes has produced an e-book and native plant index, available for purchase from their website.
