hahaha tribbletrouble...U kill me :)) No charge - every week they have a free consultant at my local dulux paint shop :) Question - Do you think Surfmist matches with Colorbond Dune ?

I understand where you are coming from. Had the same dilemma when we built our house. We ended up asking the tradies for the whitest of whites with all of our finishes as we felt that it would make it easier when choosing soft furnishings. Our builder used Wattyl products, so I am guessing that the Dulux equivalent would be the 'white on white'.

Hi Mel, yes we have successfully used other products to give a formply look, whilst achieving increased durability and sustainability with the solution provided. Any material used for interior joinery needs to suit the purpose. Plywoods come in different grades and not all are suitable for interior joinery and furniture; that is why some people complain they have used ply and it has bellied or bowed. If the plywood fits the purpose, the outcome can be gorgeous and durable.

Nah -- it needs more colour haha ! Just kidding -- I love almost all the work ! If I was being picky , I personally would have had a red cake mixer , OR tried to source red glass-look tiles -- I have never seen even those blue hued ones , and I suspect I will copy that somewhere , sometime thanks ! I assume the client already had the rug -- obviously , Kate and the client love it -- I probably wouldn't have bought it ( I love colour , love bold , in fact I like purple but I don't recall ever doing a purple themed room ? ) , and I like the matching cushions , but just me -- I don't think it quite works with the greener/grey tinged chairs and then the sideboard behind it is a different industrial steel blue but with a different greenish light too ) -- I probably would have gone 'safer' with charcoal chairs and sideboard ; or white for the contrast and to tie in more with the couch ; or gone a lime-ish green for the rug . But just to show you or the owner has great taste -- I have a very similar cast 'platinum' stylised statue , as well as ( pretty sure it is genuine 1920's -- I paid several hundred dollars so I hope it is -- the cord looks very yellow and aged ) a 'lady light' ( I can't recall the proper name ) with quite a rough-cast opaque ball on one hand . . . . . . .
