Thanks for all your advice & explaining how the weight is distributed. I'm much more confident with hanging them now.

Wow! So both of you agree that 4 screws would hold up a 16kg cabinet, or even two, plus plates & cups in them?
The only reason why I thought of…

Yes, you are correct. And we took photographs of the pipes & wiring before the gyprock went up so should have no problem missing them, they are just unfortunately in…

Our house is cladded in colorbond so could I bolt it through the stud & through the cladding?

We need screening plants for one side of our fence. Our neighbour does not maintain their yard very well &…

Sorry about getting the navy wall wrong but maybe if you added some navy blue it can blend the darker colours like the charcoal & brown in with the aqua.…

Eye level is obviously good but if you want to hang artwork above a high piece fo furniture, eye level just won't work. Many bedheads are quite high at the…

I like the openess, maybe just some art on the large wall opposite to the living room and a simple sofa table.
Maybe something like this:
I can visualise some floating shelves…

OK, so measure the entire wall above the bedhead.
Takeaway the height of the picture, then divide by three.
That is a good distance from the top of your bed…

A company named SO-FON does some versions of the bottom combination. Most bedding stores can order from them.

The print above the bed is adorable. Your colour choice is so classy especially with your bedroom suite, looks like great quality furniture.

To give the room a more open feel, ensure beds have low foot ends.
Upholstered beds are in at the moment but my suggestion is a dark colour for the…

Hi folks,

Can anyone tell…

Here's some pics as promised

Well doors are up but only a few months after being put up, the back door is crap. Do not buy a St Claire Entrance Door. Veneer is peeling off,…

Shelley, updating myself with your posts. God I laughed at the can exploding. Hubby hates that stuff, it's so sticky & hard to get off. He saw your pics &…

Thanks! Well got door jambs in but staining & varnishing the front & back doors themselves is taking forever. Stained a walnut colour, front door is solid & back door…

We visited a flooring store & we liked the Readyflor in Spotted Gum.
I asked the salesperson if…

Good work with the putty! I siliconed ours, it wasn't the easiest of jobs so you deserve a pat on the back so doing it with a sore leg. Sounds…

Love that you went with the spotted gum. We are hoping to get that too. Have you got pics of your floors?

We have finally completed the cladding sheets! YAY!
