Need help with where to go from here
I'm on a budget, moved in just a year ago. Nearly everything in the room is 2nd hand (lounge is ex Embassy 15 yr old Drexel Heritage in IKEA Ektorp slip cover, stitched to fit), coffee table was $50 from a friend's old shed, tv unit from Aldi, but I'd still like to get the room looking attractive and comfy. Any ideas for the way forward?

Help! Which colours go with these bathroom tiles?
Comments (78)That is a hard one with those tiles. I would have to think if you did a white, it would kind of work with the colour of your tiles. At the end of the day, they do need to be replaces, but as you said, due to budgeting reasons, you cannot, I can pass on this photo of a nice bathroom with those tiles for you though for inspiration... : )...See MoreView from my backdoor - need help for privacy and to hide neighbour!
Comments (30)georgi02 "follow some simple guidelines, the ones that people frequently aren't told when buying wall gardens and you end up finding out the hard way" Plant walls are fashionable and seem ideal for small spaces but it would be good if the stores that sell the bits and pieces told people it's not just a trendy decor item, it needs some gardening expertise. mutcherson, is there any space between that deck and the fence? IMO the most successful low-maintenance gardening is the right choice of plant growing in the ground. As soon as you start messing around with unusual plants, unusual containers, unusual locations, you start having additional challenges. But I reckon if you want it's worth having another try with a wall using georgi02 's instructions. Succulents are easy to grow from cuttings and forgiving of lack of water. When you take cuttings of succulents you are supposed to put them aside for a while before potting them and I have found pieces I forgot I cut weeks earlier and managed to grow them. I have had some problems with succulents but that was because of frost so you you won't have that challenge....See MoreThis room needs some life added... Please help, where to start?

Comments (16)Hi Azzopardi As previously stated, it's all about your contract.... and the events subsequent. Firstly, I would suggest you post an example ie the details of an item that is being changed that you are unhappy about the most, including the original item specified and the item that is now being installed, together with the background on how that change came about. We can then perhaps give you some advice on that. Also, what type of contract is it? Is it a fixed price / design and construct / cost plus? Thirdly, I suggest you start reading your contract. In it you will find a couple of items you need to look for specifically... They are; 1. Variations - there is a set process whereby any changes to the contract need to follow a methodology. The builder needs some form of approval from you to make changes and it is detailed in this part of the contract. Equally, if you have made changes to the works you have asked your builder to perform then you need to follow the process ie in writing. Have you been having site meetings / progress discussions with your builder? 2. Disputes - there are often disagreements during the building process particularly where one persons recollection of events are different to others. That is why it pays to do everything in writing. That said, there is a mechanism in the contract telling you what to do and how to resolve a dispute with your builder including the use of an independent arbitrator etc. If you follow the steps and put it in writing you will soon find out why the changes are made. Cheers...See More

9 years agoSome colourful rug options in 2x3m , K mart has some budget option mirrors and frame your painting yourself ,just get a cheap print in nice frame and pop your artwork in it ,it only takes 1/2 h. Large plant in the corner next to the window and the most important - keep it tidy.
- 9 years agou could do this around the TV. same sort of principal - same coloured frames, u can print off pics from pinterest (I did not say that) and put them in. cheap frames from cheap shops :-)

- 9 years agoYour curtains are not bad but a bit old fashioned if you can replace it with eyelet style it would look more modern and maybe sunscreen blind for privacy instead of sheer curtain.
9 years agoBefore replacing your curtains as this can be quite expensive for such a large window, if they are in good condition, add a band of extra fabric to the bottom in what ever suits you, your existing curtain track can then be moved up to the ceiling for good looking full length curtains without the large round eyelets, could save you a lot of money, I would look at replacing/removing the sheers cheers
