Def worth the wait to see them, you have made really nice choices I got a little excited when I saw your thread titled - colours Now for the building action Bek I'm back Re: Ready to go in Mernda. Finally uploaded colours!! 157Apr 12, 2010 10:38 pm Awww thanks girls. Pretty happy with all of it, must admit having some issues with stipple hemp in the kitchen. It's based on a display home which DH liked but I just can't seem to warm to it.... I wanted oyster linea but with wenge (which I adore) it doesn't work. There's no real other base colour which I like - the rest are too cream and I wanted something warmer in colour.
