another thing I learnt too is that while at bunnings I ask the paint section staff what drops of colour went into the paint sample I was getting.  

 

for example lexicon gets blue and another colour added to it. so that's why people complain about it being too blue. maybe common sense but what tints they add to the base white to get your chosen colour will give you an idea what end result you may get. 

 

god I hope that makes sense haha

I told this to ass hat up there ^^^ (stripes) lol

Paint a big patch on two or three walls... two coats ... one in somewhere that gets natural light and one that doesn't as much... that's the best way to tell.
Some
Warm colours will look darker in spaces
Some will look lighter and greys have green, blue or brown bases all exhaserbated by whatever else is around it so it can be a challenge.

Carpet .... medium to dark grey.
It's on trend, won't date quick,

Thanks for that mate, really do appreciate it...

Simple rules to follow... pick brown or grey...
grey is modern... brown is homely..

Pick a brown based grey (not brown just not blue based) paint all the walls ... then pick a few through out.... eg in your entrance way .... and get a dark charcoal type shade ... yes ceilings white ... then trims white .... also adding a couple drops of black to the white paint makes it whiter when doing mouldings and skirtings etc.

Dark grey carpet will make a light grey room more homely.
Homely is also perceptionbased on the furniture and styling.
U can make a white room look homely... it's just more of a challenge.

That's what we're s doing in our entrance

bowls on the wells and all?

[bossmang]

love the raised ceilings very high end wish I had the coin to do it at mine. 

[k31th]

A raised ceiling only has two applications ->

- wasting your heating resources (due to hot air rising)

- fitting a hoist in a garage

Spot on.... coz you're going to already assume what's going in the shed lol

And then since we did that we figured keep the grand look and do it on the upper level too.... coz we're having 2340 high doors not normal height

Great work on the house @.Stripes. looks awesome.

 

Been busy myself last week. Front yard complete.

New lawn and gardens. The only down side is the cats, already sh*tting in the garden and on the lawn. Tips to get rid of them?

Got a guy in to clean up the front because it still had heaps of building waste that was left behind.

The grass I got is called Palmetto grass.

 

After. I've got it taped off ATM so no one can drive on it and better not when I take it down. I'm a grass nazi. Not the best photo.

 

The gardens. Plants are Kangaroo Paws
