These weren't there when I purchased and the body corporate never does anything let alone plant trees.

Mine is nothing like what your looking for, but I'll share for others

I'm going to paste in our façade ... but add that it's effectively a "non façade".

Basically, because we're living here "forever", the future maintenance of lot of any wood…

I think the combination of colours does sound complementing looking at their hues. However, the overall outlook might be too dark. Even though your backsplash will be entirely white followed…

That looks nice and compact! Congrats on a job well done! I have always wanted my own cold room but I am not too sure about my ability to handle…

I personally have had my fair share of laminate, be it for cabinetry or flooring. It really does not last as long as the carpenter said it would but recommended…

I think that it's also important to make sure that you're following your council rules and regulations too though. I've heard recently that you can't just go about increasing the…

Bar stools are really difficult to find those that truly match your taste. They either do not fit the height requirement or their design is too complicated. I had bought…

I think it is not entirely impossible. Why is it that with sufficient and proper waterproofing, the floor will still experience leakage? That will only happen provided that you have…

I do not see any problem in doing so because normally tiles can be customized according to the new size that you need. Yes, your contractors might have a harder…

I personally love the idea of a huge living area and that the kitchen should be placed near the windows. It just makes sense to have good ventilation if you're…

I would try a quick fix of cement or plaster since you only have less than 2 days to get the job done. Since it is only a small space,…

Hmm I think Thomas is trying to say that a respray is only going to give you a bit of colour in the kitchen though and obviously the OP would…

The site with all the pictures was a really good help! I would just like to add in that you should try and have as much storage room for all…

I’m just wondering though, don't most home fixes require some sort of approval from the council or something? I mean if you're building your house, or getting a builder to…

I would agree about the pavers too. Unless of course you entirely hate the tiles that are chosen and it seems like the original job is really bad. From what…

You can answer your question with your own point of view. Since you are going to be a buyer too after selling your house, what are the features of a…

I second that sentiment about going with cupboards too instead of shelves. This is because things in cupboards stay cleaner for a longer time due to the doors preventing dusts…

I'm not an expert, but I think that the room sizes look okay just off first glance. Of course it will depend on how much stuff you have to go…

I think you may want to ask a man's opinion when it comes to the garage - especially if you want him to do some fix up stuff for the…

I also think that you should ask a property agent on their views. However, at the end of the day, a better looking property would definitely attract buyers. Just be…

I've actually heard a lot of good things about the secondary suite option when you've got a house. I mean when you've got a storage shed or some extra space…

This is a really excellent thread full of ideas for people who are interested in researching different builds. I may not be part of the group now, but it's lovely…

We have different threads for a reason right guys? Haha! In any case, it's a good reminder to everyone to try and post things in the right place so that…

IT's actually pretty hard to match old stuff on your house - tile, brick, and pretty much all the other materials, if you hadn't kept some spare stuff aside when…

Paint thinner is generally a sure win when it comes to removing paint, but like some of the other guys here have said, it depends on what paint you've been…

I personally think that you could easily find a lot of uses for your pantry - you could probably stock up on every conceivable kitchen appliance that exists or something!…
