Hi all,
Bit of an emergency plumbing situation means i need to choose a new mixer tap in a hurry. Would like to avoid buying the wrong thing! I'm usually a…

Yep, it seems every reputable insulation installer has been mentioned in this thread
Surely there has to be one or two out there that won't cause…

I'd really love to see them if you can manage it!!
I don't think this forum allows uploading, so you'll need to upload the photos to somewhere like

You know, after you posted this last night, i looked at our linen cupboard and realised it's very similar. It is a similar colour and style to the first pic…

Thanks Michelle. We adore it! We thought there's no way we would win it at auction, but somehow the planets aligned, and we did. I often just sigh and think…

Thanks Michelle! Great to have some input from a professional
Hmmm, quite an interesting idea with the doors. I'm terrible at imagining how things will look…

Thanks so much for the speedy responses!
hparis - Taller than the picture rail at least, possibly ceiling height. We have zero storage space in this house so i'd like to…

Hi everyone,
We're about to get built-in robes installed in our master bedroom.
It's a lovely, old Californian Bunglaow, so we want to make sure we get this right!
My husband and I…

Very exciting to see to see it coming together nonna!

Hi there,
I've been unable to get a word-of-mouth recommendation for an insulation company - unfortunately all i'm finding is negative feedback!
I'm looking for insulation supply and install into an existing…

Thanks so much for posting and updating with your pics kek. Great to see one in action!
Our deck is slightly north-north-west, so i guess we'd have a similar issue with…

Thanks for that! Not as bad as i was expecting, but still not cheap.
Yep, our rear deck is north-facing
Did you come up with…

Just wondering if anyone has installed one of these, and how much it cost. I saw mention that they are "not cheap", but i've no idea where prices would start.…

Well, after having my heart set on a Bosch, i had a look in "real life" today, and it's really small inside. 81L vs 121L for some of the others…

Thanks for all the recommendations guys!
I have a Bosch washing machine that has been fantastic, and after reading lots of reviews and recommendations of…

Totally agree about getting a solicitor.
So sorry this happened to you - settlements are so scary, you just hold your breath and hope everyone did what they were supposed to…

Would be very interested to know what brands people do and don't recommend for ovens, cooktops and cookers.
I completely broke mine tonight (by snapping part of the door and having…

I definitely don't want it for fashion reasons. I'd like a wider cooktop as i frequently have large pans bumping together on a 600mm cooktop, so the extra space is…

So our new house's kitchen comes complete with a dud cooker - what a great excuse to get a new one!
This is the current…

Thanks for the compliments on the house - we're thrilled to have gotten such a gorgeous home!
Romans do seem to make sense. My husband has never liked them, but showing…

Wow, i've never even seen anything like that before! I'll definitely look into it, thanks!

Oh and while we are at it... there are only flimsy curtains in the other bedrooms, so i was wondering what sort of coverings would suit "regular" windows? I'm not…

We've just purchased a gorgeous California Bungalow. A couple of windows don't have any coverings at the moment, and with one of them being a bedroom, we need to sort…

Thank you Sir
I do occasionally wander in towards civilisation, so I think i know the place you mean!

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can point me to where i can buy kitchen door handles and knobs. I'd like to go to an actual shop/showroom and look at some…

Well, after much procrastination, our new stainless steel oven and cooktop are on order. Thanks so much for everyone's input
Now we're just umming…

As for the knobs, here is a test-drive of some i stole from our Ikea Hemnes chest:

Would cost $84 to replace all 23 of…

It's so hard to be objective when you stare at something day in day out (i'm currently a stay at home Mum!). I'd had my heart set on gutting this…

Mango - unfortunately the oven has stopped working, and as a mad-keen baker, i'm going crazy without it! I'd really like to go with a stainless steel oven and get…

I don't dig the green either
And i definitely want to state i do not want gold handles. I am the most anti-gold person on…
