More inspiration for my new house

Remember this post about a wall I want in the middle of my house with a fireplace? You’ll also probably remember I decided against the wood fire and have gone with a double sided gas fire. Below are some pictures of how I sort of want the wall. These photos are from a display home in Albury. It just came to me yesterday that this is the house which originally gave me the idea… Oh, and the colours are not my style, so ignore that 🙂

 This side (photo above) would have the tv above the fireplace.

This photo (above) will also have the fireplace at the bottom (it’s a double sided one remember?) and nothing above it. This room will be the dining room so maybe I’ll put a big clock above it.

But I really like the shelving either side to see in to each of the rooms. I am worried my dining room will become blocked in and won’t be big enough. I can’t wait to see it though! The builder has said he will make up the wall when the ceiling goes in (plastering starts next week).

Today I’m off to paint the exterior. I’ll show you all of that tomorrow! Have a great day.

    You will know when the wall goes up, if u want the shelves. I like them but if it closes the room in to much don’t do it.
    Happy painting

    Oh wow Katrina – that’s going to be stunning! The shelves are a great idea – hope they work out.
    Will the TV not get hot? The big photo I have hanging above my mantelpiece gets REALLY hot (I’m gonna have to move it before it deteriorates) – but then again mine’s a wood fire.
    I do not envy you painting in this heat! Bring on the cool change!

      Hi Penny! Apparently the gas won’t get hot. My SIL has a similar unit and it’s ok. Thankfully today is cooler here, perfect painting weather today!
