you can't beat white, it goes with everything, clean and crisp looking, my choice would be fridge top and freezer bottom, better still two separate side by side, if there's room, keep a thermometer in both to check on temp, as the ones in the appliance are usually not accurate,, and check the lights, mine are always flickering on and off when i open the door, buy one with wheels so that you can pull it out to clean

Spotted Gum is a great hard wearing timber with a Janka rating of 11. This means it is high density timber and won't dent as easily as softer timbers like American Oak. A polyurethane finish is the hardest and most durable timber floor coating and it comes in gloss satin and mat. The lower sheen's are more forgiving if you you have pets and young children. Bamboo is another hard product but only comes in short lengths so you would need to take that look into consideration when selecting. Some clients don't like the look of the short boards and consider it a cheap look. Others prefer the longer floor boards of timber. If you do choose bamboo make sure that you find out the coating used and whether it can be sanded and re coated down the track, as all timber and bamboo floors will need a touch up especially if you have pets. Some bamboo floors can not be sanded due the coating used. Hope this helps. Our website may offer some inspiration. Good Luck http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/

Looks like Jarrah, but not sure if Jarrah was used in Queensland

A good builder will be your salvation. He will be able to source all the trades for you, brief them, keep them on schedule and budget (unless it's something major) and deliver what you want. A good builder is hard to find - go by referrals and interview them to find someone that you can work with. Dont be afraid to ask questions and expect answers. I have to admit I got very lucky with my builders and I adore them and trust them implicitly - you've got to love a builder that gets stuck into trades when they don't do the right thing by you or clean up after themselves.
