I like the sound of a mini-reunion. Especially if it involves desert!. Hello everyone : ) nwduck, you are just beginning your season, while here today is the grand final of Aussie Rules Football. Though I'm not a fan, it seems the whole country has come to a grinding halt today. haha The big excitement of today's game, is that an 'underdog' team is playing. They haven't got into the finals in about eighteen years or something. :)

If you are unhappy with the gutter red colour next to the new roof colour, it might be better to paint the same new colour on the gutters. You can still contrast the fascia and gutter colour if you would like to...is there a third colour that you are working towards in your overall exterior colour scheme? Dulux do have Colour Consultant chats on Mondays and Fridays between 11am and 3pm EST on the Dulux website (dulux.com.au) ...you can send them photos and they can help out with scheming advice.

A summer must have for me is a big glass jug — whether it's used to hold infused water or a fruity cocktail to share, it's something I'll definitely be buying to ensure I stay hydrated.

It seems an unnecessary cost and it will upend the joy (and practicality) of walking into a WIP and seeing everything at a glance. If you have a door on the WIP, I would avoid internal doors, but I’d suggest it’s a preference - albeit one that will massively reduce your storage space. 1200mm wide is pretty narrow and you will be limiting yourself to narrow cupboards with doors (est 600mm deep with door open) on one wall only, compared with 300mm shelves possible on both walls for the same accessibility - literally half the storage space. Perhaps you would be better off extending the kitchen space and giving away the WIP. This may also allow you to add bench space to the kitchen and be more economical overall.
