Thanks everyone! Yep, Venus Fly Trap... I have made green a feature throughout the open plan living areas, so it all ties in really nicely.
Thanks for all your advice bel!

Thanks - I'm guessing it's because it costs more money. We were owner builders, so we were able to do whatever we liked (or could afford).

Well I went with the green, and it looks great - very unique!
Excuse the terrible pic!

It's not the best pic, but you get the idea. I will take better photos when I get the chance.

I dont know how much it was per linear metre, but we paid $900 (inc GST) for our 36sq home, and were very happy with the work that was done.

I think it looks amazing, at the same time... you probably will change your mind 100 times over! Just find something you really love and then stick with it, try…

I'm on the 'remove it' team... the pic of the display home (without the splashback on the end) definitely looks better.

Thanks Bel, I haven't been able to see it like that, but now I am a lot more confident!!
I have also bought this painting to go on the wall above…

Wow, that's cool!
I bit the bullet and decided to go with a green... Dulux Venus Fly Trap... 2 weeks till it's installed - fingers crossed.

Grrr... I had the glass guys come out to measure today, there were other tradies there at the same time, and they told me I was being too 'safe' and…

Has anyone put smaller handles on their overheads cupboards and medium sized ones on the lower cupboards?
I have selected different sizes through the kitchen, and am now worried!
Thanks

Thanks bel... that's exactly what I was thinking!
I feel like I need something to tie in with the Ceylonese, so it doesn't seem like a lone item standing out like…

I should add that my walls are Grand Piano (1/2 strength).

Hi Michelle, I am unsure which way to go for our splashback, what do you suggest??
Bench Top - White Shimmer Caesarstone
Cupboard Doors - China White
Cabinets - China White
Draws - China…

That's gorgeous! That's the vision I had...

Yay for getting rid of that moon boot!! Lol
Just quickly, what did you need to have done to get the certificate of occupancy?

You're going to have to explain that to me...

Our tiler has called and said that the floor in our new house isnt level. He is suggesting sand-cement, which we are ok with, but he suggested 20mm. That seems…

You may find that using a small private builder will be quite costly...
I know an excellent builder in the Western Suburbs - John Terpenou (trades at J & M Terpenou),…

My mum has a 90cm Ilve and she loves loves loves it, so I have bought 1 too.
I have found good and bad reviews for almost every oven out there,…

Yay for progress! Make sure you take photos!
I don't know why it is, but it does feel like everything takes double the time it should. It's probably because we dont…

Looking heaps better...
The Activity and Games Rooms, is there a reason for seperating these? Couldn't you just take out that wall and make it one big rumpus room?

Until now I didn't even know if we are having flush jamb or flush pull systems, but I just had a look on the Corinthians site (where we have got…

Generally the cavity don't slide all the way in anyway (I think), so it shouldnt??
I think this dream is dying a slow death...

donuts - you have just asked all the questions that have been running through my head! They will suit the other door handles in the house, well I think they…

Not sure if anyone will know a solution for this, but... instead of having the standard rectangular pull handles on our cavity doors, I have been wanting to use handles…

We used Trusses Plus and had no issues with them. They had everything done on time and delivered when they said they would. They were about $100 more than another…

Wishing you all the best of luck and strength to you and the little Zeke.
May 2011 bring you and your family health, joy and laughter from now on!

Oooh the tub looks nice and big!

My first step was to have a play around and come up with my own plan first. That way, I had gone through all the changes on my own, without…
