Is there such a thing as too much storage?
Comments (19)Instinctively I voted no, never! But what's that saying, stuff expands to fill space available? I suppose it's a balancing act to have plenty of storage to enable you to be comfortable and organised without encouraging you to acquire more stuff thus needing more storage.......See MoreCharcoal sofas with very large charcoal rug - too much???
Comments (18)Hi shortstuff27, Love your colour choices already! With your budget constraints, I agree, go for the charcoal remnant, why not try to spruce it up a bit -,see if they can do the trim in the 'cherry blossom pink' to compliment the scheme! Splash some brilliant white paint on the top of your existing coffee table to contrast against the charcoal and add some matching (pink / patterned and textured) scatter cushions or a throw. It will be stunning! Good luck whatever you decide!...See MoreBathroom/Ensuite/Powder Room - is 3 different styles too much?
Comments (8)I have struggled with these same questions. i have asked for advice from tradespeople, tile sellers, researched many bathrooms by designers and have come to the conclusion that it is ultimately what you personally will be happy with, unless you intend to sell your place in next 5 years. I am told that tiles are the most expensive thing to change if you wish to change the look but tap fittings etc is easy. I think as Kate said, you want to keep something in common across all bathrooms . I have seen one bathroom design change the terrazzo colour from one bathroom to another. If you have the space, accessories can also provide links to the bathrooms... eg towels, Knick knacks, lights etc...See MoreExterior reno for sale - don't want to spend too much.
Comments (16)I agree with MB Design and Drafting. I rejected two homes based on the building reports alone. It wasn't that there is a lot of work to do or that it would be expensive. It was the fact I was going to have to spend $$$ and time fixing stuff that would never be seen because the prior owners failed to maintain the house properly. I would be spending my first year in those homes organising trades, waiting for people to show up or not, dealing with the headache of unforseen extra problems and cost blowouts. Not to mention I wondered how much unseen damage there was caused by lack of maintenance. Ultimately I purchased a more modest home with less impressive facade and floorplan because it was well maintained and any money I spent would be spent on fun things like decorating or improving fixtures. Plus it already had a major feature I wanted and that feature had been done professionally so it was well worth paying for. It doesn't matter to a buyer how pretty a house is if their heart is broken by a building report that tells them their dream home has a laundry list of boring jobs and unnoticed problems that need attention asap. 9 times out of 10 they will walk on the property than bother renegotiating the price and getting professionals in to assess the $ involved....See Morezaffa
5 years agoHi Tim, I know what you mean about the bench top. I wanted a light coloured plain-ish top to brighten the space as well as not compete with the floor. We also have 2 large skylights directly above our kitchen and adjacent meals area which gives heaps of light. Here are some pics just taken at night. I can take some more in morning to give you an idea as to how the black looks with light
