I'm not too sure about the textured tile and textured cupboard, i am a man though...
I would consider a solid colour for the cupboards and…

Thanks, we've had a look at the freedom ones, not a fan.
Did cost me money for a new bit of wall art and sugar/tea containers though lol

Hi All,
We want a nicer wall clock to go with our recent kitchen reno's.
Surprisingly it's harder to find one we like than expected...
We're liking the Newgate clocks but their markup…

Could you consider swapping the washer and fridge around?
You could swap the hinges on the fridge door to better accomodate the opening door.
You'll also be less likely to accidently open…

Why cant you still have a tub in the laundry?
I've got no issue with the washer in the kitchen, it's very english though. I would consider what your plans are…

I'm only thinking allowed here but if you turn around and say you dont want all those extra's arn't they going to make less profit?
Isnt it in their intrest to…

Hi All,
Thought I'd update this thread considering the help I recieved.
We ended up with too many options for splashback to the point of being a little overwhelmed I think. We…

I did it in our laundry and kitchen.
Dont get the people making it to cut sink holes etc out, you want to do that on site.
It's pretty easy to be…

I'm SOR so if ya need a hand I might be able to give ya one. (Help you, not do it for you)
Otherwise get the name of the people Ikea…

FYI when we got our bench recently the cost of the acrylic edge was $11.50 a metre.
We got sfx180 though not diamond gloss. The price was given to us approximately…

I'm not a full bottle but are you certain the acrylic edge is available for that top?
I just remember when we got it for ours the lady said something along…

I redid ours recently and had to make a similar decision.
The enamel ones were generally on the more basic models and in my opinion never looked as good.
I liked the…

Can you do it yourself?
If your happy with ikea stuff it sounds like it could all easily be accomodated with their items.
Benchtop you could go to someone like Proform in…

lol mate I havent got a clue what is and isnt orthodox, i just assume how ever I do things in my DIY adventures is probabaly the wrong/less efficient way…

Yer I dont know about using a circular saw...
Anyways, it's easy mate, just make sure you measure 2, 3, 4 or even 5 times. I had a mate who cut…

When you get a chance can you post a pic of the finished fix for between the tiles and skirting board? Interested to see how that turned out.
Tile fix looks…

We've just finished our reno and went draws wherever we could.
Best decision we made, makes live considerably easier.
We've put antislip matts (5 bucks at ikea sale right now) everywhere more…

Has the tile issue been resolved? Just went through part of your build thread. I could not live with that.
I'm also surprised the skirting went in before the tiles.
When…

I dont think it's a biggie, I probabaly would have put them Horizontal if I had the choise but it's done now, you didnt specify and generally the norm for…

Hi Again
Went out shopping yesterday to have a look at a few local shops.
The missis liked these ones, what are peoples thought on them vs our kitchen? I'm still not…

At the moment I'm just thinking colours. I dont mind subway style tiles in all colours but glass is also an option, no sure if it will be "too modern"…

When we went and looked they also had diamond gloss there, the 180fx was the only range that offered the bigger pattern of 8ft by 8ft.
The downside to the diamond…

Thanks
The product details are:
Laminex - Soapstone Sequoia 180fx
Let me know if you'd like some more photo's of the bench itself and I'll take some tonight.

Hi All,
After much inspiration from these forums we're nearing the end of another renovation to our 13 yr old house in Beeliar, Western Australia.
We're a young couple with a little…

That would have required chasing the wall to expose the existing pipes. I've done my fair share of chasing and really wasn't keen on doing it. We had one in…

Hi All,
Just wondering if I could get some suggestions with regards to the colour of the splashback in our kitchen reno. Currently 95% finished excluding the splashback of course

Thanks, that was two weeks hard work though, Christmas, Boxing Day and NYE in the middle too which didnt help.

Thanks all, and yes Mrs Mozz I do enjoy using it.
It's our ensuite bathroom, I have to keep the door to the other one closed from now on
