Comments (199)I thought you all would have been in bed by now. Thanks kd - one day I will get into Photoshop ............... one day, on my bucket list. I'm glad I can say this now, but I can't believe you were looking at that Homesense rug - it is horrible, you definitely have far better taste than that. Have you looked into the cost of getting rugs cut down? Costs a bomb here. Angela, congrats on your Scholarship money, you deserve it with all the time you devote and your dedication. Bit worried now I may have confused you more with your tiles. You know your room and what you want to achieve so go with your heart. Robin - don't work too hard, stay safe. One day you and kd are going to fall over each other .......... literally....See MoreAustralians call some household things by different names

Comments (98)What a great big room. The ideas are endless. Not sure if you live in Melb but I would get professional help. Honestly it doesn't cost a lot and you have peace of mind. For the painting go to any paint store, even Bunnings. They have the ph nos for a paint colour consultant. (I went with Dulux) but most Paint companies now have colour consultants to come out for a fee. The consultant comes out for a fee approx.($150) but that was for a few rooms. Then if you buy their paint, the price of the consultation is deducted off the paint you purchase. So really the consultation is free, if you choose their paint. Freedom decorator consultant works the same way. Can't remember how much (no more than $200) and she gave me great ideas. If you buy anything from them, again it's deducted off your purchase. There is no commitment with either paint company of Freedom to purchase from them. The advantage is, you can have the amount spent deducted from purchase. Honestly it cost saving and you get professional advise. Win Win situation. We've built 3 times and painted the house myself, and I have been so glad I did the above, with both paint and furnishings.. Plus I do up my own furniture, (most bought at garage sales) so I only purchased what I really wanted from Freedom, the rest 99%, I got from op shops and did up myself. But the ideas are helpful. Honestly, you need to know what decore you want in your room? So they will work around that. If your unsure, they will look at the rest of the house and work with your ideas. I like French provin. So I worked around that, Just to give you ideas you don't have to spend a fortune. My bedroom is also huge. Haven't took photos all-round. I redid all the furniture in both rooms. The above cabinet was brown stain which I painted white. GOODLUCK...See MoreSWAP
Comments (266)no, say it ain't so! As an older work friend once told me - she was maybe 55 at the time, lol. I don't do waist lines anymore! My husband says he is an all american mutt, as am i. he would never use a kit. i really don't want him too, they might discover that touch of cro magnon in him. the touching eyebrows, the too big jaw. the head that fits in no hats. the organs that every doctor says are the largest they ever saw! How you doing on water weight? that is what comes off the best? cut back on salt. no gassy foods - take gas x. now mind you the gas does not magically disappear, it does come out-you will now have burps worthy of a 12 yo boy with a rootbeer. what it does stop is bloating. Miralax uses water in the body to help the body get rid of excess waste. that is a thought, killing 2 birds with one stone. If someone had asked me 5 years ago if i would have this wealth of knowledge on this subject, I might have slapped them, thinking they had lapsed into insanity! oh, and about the thread, ttt is sure she posted it? re-mark-a ble!...See MoreJames Herbert
