Main Bedroom

Like Oprah says the bedroom should be a santuary. A place where you rest and recharge. It should re-energise you not tire you.

My room is quite large for a bedroom and it has a beautiful view of the tree in the yard. Unfortunately the curtains are always closed as people on the street can look in.

Dinning Room

My dinning room is not current used very much; the dinning area is currenly a holding room for all the tools and the dinning table is just cluttered with stuff. With the orange lino floors and the cedar kitchen cabinets; the room just feels like a orange room that smells of raisin poo from the laundry.




I would however like this area to be come the center of the house; where great meals are shared and memoriable conversations are had. Be a wonderful sunday bunch with lots of light pooring in through the glass doors or a fine dining christmas dinner under the glow of crystal chandelier.

Inspirations
Here are some of my inspirations for the room:






Fake fireplace in front of tv (but not aircon is above it)




Aspiration
Things to add to my dinning room:

Breakfast Cabinets: to hold coffee machines and toasters
Floor to Ceiling Cabinets along the side wall (not built in)
Dimensions 70cm deep x 205cm long or preferrable 177cm x 2.4m high
Probably glass cabinets display
Decision: Option 3 (to be painted white with the kitchen cabinets)

Option 1:

$499 Everyday living furniture 1600mm x 600mm


Option 2:
ebay Max bid $250 sold for $460

2400 mm long, 2000 mm high, and 450 mm deep.
Cabinets look like 40cm deep about 35cm high

Option 3:

APPROX 1850MM WIDE X 2130MM HIGH
$350

Wooden Dinning Table
Similar chairs


Rug
Tarnby Large Rug + Must remember to buy UNDERLAY


Lighting
Vintage Chandelier hanging in the middle of dinning table (not middle of the room)



Technology
40" LCd/Plasma hanging on end wall (Socket for Cabling to be installed to allow for a
Computer or X box etc to be connected to the plasma from the cabinets.

Speakers installed for music extends to the kitchen

Socket for connecting speakers also near cabinets
Socket should also allow for the plug in of the iphones.
