Natural stone fireplace

Oh ok. We will have to do the somes. Hubby wont be happy about having to re-inforce the floor but we will see how we go.

Hmmmm not sure what that is about. Maybe they have to hang something there so need something to screw into.

Carpet colour help

I love the taupey light colours. That is what we have in a sisal and it is so easy to style no matter what colour scheme we choose to do.

Freestanding baths and kids

I have three little kids and I prefer the bath in a hob. Just you somewhere to sit and put all their toys and things to dry afterwards.

It's the electricity that kills us. This bill was almost $700. Our gas is normally about $60 for our family of 5.
