I don't know if there are standards sizes (I presume there is an industry standard but would imagine even that has variation in it.)
We designed our kitchen from scratch and…

Thanks MrsB.
I went back and looked at the colour swatches I painted on the wall again and we are going to go with the Hogsbristle 1/4 strength. I've seen…

We got a quote for a Culligans water filtration system on the weekend. The retail price was $380 installed but as part of our package we were offered about…

Hi colour savvy people (Michelle guru of selections, I hope you get to read this!),
I am having the "which white" colour crisis which seems to happen to all of us…

We have just had all of the slate and tiles on the ground floor of our house taken up. We had contractors in and it took them almost 2…

Hi Ozibob, what a pain for you. In relation to the deposit, your contract will tell you what happens to it if the Purchaser fails to complete. It…

We currently have a Miele slimline dishwasher (9-setting, fits into one cupboard space). We love it and are putting a fullsize Miele G2220SCI (14-setting, semi integrated) into our new house.…

Thanks for the responses everyone.
Michell your office looks so cosy and inviting compared to the small goldfish bowl I work in!! Must help going to work each…

I agree with 3xb on the floor and cakes of soap too - they are horrible but I thought I'd expressed enough opinions! Also there are no soap dishes…

The front doors on the house we've just bought are solid western red cedar french doors (rebated edge). The only hardward currently on them is an entrance knob handle…

Nicer than the youth hostel bathrooms that I've seen too! But I'm not sure that I'd actually like using it. The benchtop looks like rough stone and I…

I saw these breifly on the weekend at my local hardware and from memory they were about $355. Not 100% sure though as I didn't look too closely. …

Thanks Mek, I'll check them out.

Thanks for your response Casa. I love Mek's sink but unfortunately it is way out of our budget!
Very true about the best topmount sinks looking better than…

We are getting carpet put in our new house so I am very interested in this topic. I am also questioning whether Dyson really is the be all and…

Definitely good lighting. We installed downlights over the benchtop in our current kitchen and now cannot live without them. Nothing worse than working in shadow.
Enough bench space for…

Hi All
We originally chose a topmount 1.5 sink with drainer but because of space the drainer has to go on the left over the dishwasher which we don't want. …

Hi
We are at the point of selecting our kitchen cabinet handles and I am confused by the different metals that are available. I've seen Stainless Steel, Nickle and…

I've just checked out your blog Matt and your house and your views look amazing! The colours are going to look great. Looking forward to following your progress.

Thanks Stonecutter. I'm leaning towards just getting someone in to do it and $600 per door sounds reasonable. I'm not sure where the power is so will have…

Hi All
We've purchased a property that has a manual opening double garage (two separate roller doors rather than a double width door). We are wanting to upgrade the manual…

Hi All,

My husband and…
