Total photo overload 77Jul 12, 2012 12:42 am Get ready for a total photo overload. I finally took some photos of the house this week, but the majority of them are taken at night so they're looking very dark and you can't see the pretty views out the windows. In the day time the house is lovely and light and bright, but this will give you a general idea of how it's looking (on the inside at least). MASTER BEDROOM My DH made the bedhead a few years ago, but our new bed is heaps higher than our old one so unfortunately a lot of the bedhead is covered by the bed. We're now looking for some matching marri bedside tables.

Still needs kick boards, doors on the pantry and full length cupboard, and an end panel on the end of the bench. Looks dark in the photos but the benchtops aren't as black as they appear. There's a big window behind the white blind (behind the sink).

Need to buy a buffet and display cabinet. This area just needs skirting boards and we're making a pelmet to go over the bay window.

We had to leave it open so the cabling could be done for the new TV. That's done now so over the next week DH will fill in the hole around the fireplace, then we can make the mantle, and finally choose something to put down as the hearth in front (haven't decided what though).

WA has a particular way of building and unfortunately that's the way a large amount of sills are finished. 3 6996 Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle. We're planning our garage/external laundry to master bedroom and… 0 11095 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13053 |
