They look like they go together, and I'm loving the benchtop - very nice

see, for me that's a totally unacceptable solution.
I think I'm one of the (what seems to be) very few people out there that just cannot STAND render (sorry to everyone…

Love it, Ross!
My friend has suggested similar things with a "bookcase" door. I think it looks awesome, but can't fit it anywhere

I've heard good things about these guys: www.thesplashbackcompany.com/ who are in Mordialloc. I've not been there, but I'm thinking about using them for a glass splashback…

new solution: buy a really cr@ppy tree so no one will want to take it

*sigh*
That's what I thought. A second hand brick dealer sounds like a good idea, but I won't be able to take a brick with me to show them or anything.…

I was going to get my carpet from there, too!
They had a great price on a wool carpet I really liked - I also recommend them, very helpful (except for…

I'm a huge fan of that burnt orange colour, but I don't think that it will go with your super spunky lime accessories. Not unless you manage to find a…

If you tell people your location, they might be in a better position to give you advice...

Have you tried putting some accessories in?
Such as pictures/vases/fruit bowls/calendars. Something with colour in it.

My understanding is that a digital only antenna will just pick up digital channels. All the free to air stations broadcast on digital (channels 21, 22, 23, 70, 72, 90,…

If there's no undercoat, yes. If there's an undercoat + two coats of paint, I wouldn't worry about it.

What an odd thing to do!
You have me stumped, though. A high wall and gate are the only things springing to mind...either that or spend your nights sleeping on your…

They'd probably look weird if you didn't have anything on the wall which uses the space. If you've got a couch/bookcase/tv cabinet/etc along that wall, then I don't think having…

I had a weird feeling there were special 'heat resistant' bricks that should be used in a fireplace...perhaps I imagined it.
Perhaps I shouldn't bother posting unhelpful comments...

Hmmm, well they're probably not going to send their cupboards to me in Melbourne...
I shall just go back to drooling over other people's beautiful kitchens

I dunno, I've always been one of those nutters that think that green and purple actually work together.
Maybe buy one purple cushion or something and see how it goes…

I've found some light fittings that I quite like at an online shop.
The question is, should I try to find the same lights in an actual shop before I commit…

You can always try selling it on ebay if you don't like it
The only other thing I can think of…

I love those country style kitchens! Where's yours from?

Deemaree - fine then, what about if I just show you this link...where it's BIGGER!
http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/funky-a ... 280x190cm/
Or I could stop looking since I'm terrible at working…

Deemaree (I'd say Southies, but they're in Melbourne) http://www.oztion.com.au/vshops/item.as ... d=37963659
you'd have to buy two, though, as they're 1.65 x 1.15

I guess there's nothing on ebay or something similar (another site is oztion and...grays auctions?) they might let you do inspections prior to purchase...

I'm always a fan of high ceilings - they look so grand

Is it perhaps the different lights being used in the shop to your bathroom?
Different lights throw out different 'tones' which can affect the way things look (don't I know it!…

What do you suggest placing between heavy timber furniture and carpet that will prevent the crushing?
I was under the impression that there wasn't much that could be done...

if you end up not being able to change to a stained timber (which does sound gorgeous) someone else had a gloss black door that truly popped - that might…

I've recently bought an established house.
The front is on a slight slope, and the previous owners had a staggered series of garden beds.
It really doesn't look very good, so what…

wow Deemaree - you could grow rice in those trenches

And to be honest, the way the property market is going in some places, I'm not so sure that 17% in one (or two) years *is* outrageous.
