I won't bother with lattice, barrels are partially obscured from the street by fencing and if I put it up I would have to work around the lattice in order to turn the valves for water. If I can just make better use of collected water I'll be happy. We are at the end of our growing season so I should be cleaning up the garden and putting it to bed for the winter, just can't seem to get motivated. We had our first frost last week. Usually, our average early frost date is 1 November. I got almost no produce from garden this year, but there is always next year. Chookchook2 I've seen some of those decorative metal panels and they are gorgeous, sure hope your budget will allow you to get some before too long. Most of our state has been on fire for a good part of the summer. The closest is across the river from us and they have been battling it for almost a month. Some friends have had to evacuate repeatedly. We've only been concerned once, a small grass fire on our side of the river on a day we had wind gusts up to 65mph. Fortunately, it was put out quickly. Australia and New Zealand have both sent firefighters to help with the blazes. I can't begin to tell you how appreciative we are. The closest fire was fought for almost a week by local volunteers only as there were no other resources available. They were all on other fires. The Army National Guard (reserve troops) were called out to help with support duties and for the first time ever the federal Department of Natural Resources (DNR) asked for civilian volunteers to help with non firefighting tasks, cutting fire breaks, moving supplies etc.

Hi Domtay, Thank you for your comment. I can understand when it comes to heritage homes some feel its best to retain the history of the space and keep the original finishes. If you are interested I work with creating high quality 3d renders for residential homes and with this service you will have the opportunity to see your room fully furnished with paint and wallpaper options before renovation has even begun. This will give you the opportunity to try various decorating options and discuss these concepts with family and friends which will give them, as well as yourself confidence in your design ideas and finishing your home makeover. This is intended to be an interactive experience where you will be able to visualise your ideas through 3d programs without consequence. If you would like to know more about my services please visit my website: http://www.vizcor.com Below are some designs I have worked on where I have integrated eclectic furniture and wallpaper in traditional homes. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me: amanda@vizcor.com.

I love that colorful floral!! it almost has a 40 vibe, and glamorous - I think it would look great in small toilet, maybe matte gold color mirror frame (and everything else white). The other floral is more retro - I prefer the glamorous florar. For the bathroom, if its a paper wallpaper I wouldn't use it beause of the moisture from showers might have the paper corners come off, and you can't really clean it - so I would skip wallpaper there. I love wallpaper and the drama it gives, but it has it challenges. But I like your choises so far, so you are on the right track. If you do something for the lounge I would do something geometric, and monogromatic more subtle.

We make self-adhesive fabric wallpaper that is great for feature walls - and you can install it yourself! :)
