Fruit Bowl... Check!

Posted by Anonymous on 4/05/2015 in Fruit Bowl, Purchase with no comments

Today, as part of her plethora of birthday gifts, my darling wife received a fruit bowl from her father-in-law. When I look at it I don't immediately think of putting fruit in it, and I'm not really sure how it fits with our theme, but that's OK because when Tilby looks at the schematics and technical drawings for our house she thinks the same! I'll get the house built, she can fill it!

Side Table and Towel Rack Purchased

Posted by Anonymous on 3/22/2015 in Furniture, Purchase with no comments

Today my darling wife and I went to Furniture Biz in Bendigo to check out what bargains they had in their "massive floor stock clearance". There was some lovely furniture that we will consider purchasing once our house is complete (because it will end up costing more once storage is factored in) but we did pick up a small table that will go at the junction of the Rumpus and Landing and act as a phone/lamp table as well as a towel rack that will go in our Master Ensuite (if it fits)... otherwise, I have one of my sister's Christmas presents done!

Artwork Makes Its Way Home

A few weeks ago I mentioned that my darling wife had purchased a piece of artwork but she could not bring it home because it didn't fit in the car. Today we went down and picked up the artwork and it's feature frame. Despite being a bit nervous about not seeing the piece before it was purchased, I've got to say that my wife has made a stunning choice. It's going to look amazing! Where do you think that we should put it... the Entry wall, in the Lounge or in the Living area?

Networking Gear Purchase

Posted by Brenton Hayward on 3/13/2015 in Networking, Purchase with no comments

Yesterday, thanks to the research skills of an anonymous poster, I became aware of an the website Wireless1. The best part of this new found knowledge was that the site was having a network equipment sale (including free postage). Armed with the credit card, I loaded up the following gear in my cart and they should be arriving at my door in the next week or so (as they are coming from Paramatta).

First Piece of Artwork Acquired

Posted by Brenton Hayward on 3/07/2015 in Artwork, Purchase, Style with 4 comments

Today... as per usual... my darling wife went to Melbourne for something completely unrelated to anything to do with a house but managed to buy something that has everything do with our house! Can you guess the location in the photo? Tilby has been there whereas I, the neglected husband, haven't! In regard to the size of the frame, I wasn't in attendance when it was bought and all that Tilby tells me is that we'll have to pick it up in a few weeks because it wouldn't fit in the Kia Rio. Now I'm worried!!!
