Help! Bathroom reno advice
Comments (7)In hindsight, it would have been better to recess the cabinet into the wall. Then you could have some side lighting that wills stick out past the cabinet and give you lighting so the missus can do her thing and you can shave and see everything. I agree with previous comments about pendant lighting. Possibly look at a pair of lights over the top of the cabinet pointing down coming out of the wall. I attached some pics with ideas. Otherwise a row of led downlights above the cabinet would also look nice....See MoreNeed help with my first reno project!!
Comments (8)I think a mid-tone blue would be best. Something like a demin colour. Tropic Night by Dulux grabbed my attention, but at a half strength. I too am halfway through my own first renovation project - one that has grown exponentially, - and picking the colours was the hardest. I took some advice from the local paint shop, as well as from a interior decorator friend who works occasionally as a colour consultant with architects. Take as much advice as you can, and then throw it all into a mixer (your mind) and then - as others have suggested - go get a heap of sample pots and paint big (I mean BIG!!) swatches on the side of the house. Then take at least a week to keep looking at them in different lights, at different times and one colour usually will just become your favourite. That is the right one to paint.

Comments (23)thanks to everyone for your helpful comments! I was going to have to pay around $190 for 6 more, but will order them from Beaumont who have a 25% sale on at the moment. I agree that I need to just live with the cost and finish the job properly, but your shortcut suggestions were all really interesting and much appreciated. And archimondo, I'd say it's like having a kangaroo loose in the top paddock....See MoreHelp for reno on smallish house
Comments (3)You are looking for quite a lot to fit into half a garage. As you already have a six car shed I would suggest using all of the double garage space for the additional rooms that you need. By keeping the new rooms within the existing perimeter of the garage will mean that it will be more cost-effective than enlarging the area to the rear. Consider making the smaller bedroom (which is currently adjacent to the garage) into a study or second living area that you can walk through to a new doorway linking into the garage. You will need to pick up another bedroom in the new work to make up for it. Consider a carport to the front of the existing garage which can give you direct undercover access to the front verandah.
