Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking..err...researching... around this thread for a while, and now we're almost ready to start planting! I was hoping to get some suggestions.
We're going with a native…

I don't know about this being my favourite house, but this is one build I have found very interesting to follow: http://moderninmn.blogspot.com. It's very different to what most of…

I completely agree with everything Kek has said, except that I don't care what my neighbours think!
It's a real pain having dirt…

LOVE the bargain you got for your blinds - I thought the $400 we spent on ours was the deal of a life time. You'll…

Looks great Jess, I'm SO excited for you!!
I love that silver trim around your tiles, it's got me looking at mine thinking it would really finish it off nicely. …

I like the first one and the last one. Probably the first on the most though. Very noice. I think it will look stunning.

…

Ok-I've caught up!
We got our fans from Brisbane Discount Lighting, also in Underwood on Logan road. I can't remember what they cost now, but I'm pretty sure the one…
