Another product we are looking at for the loungeroom will be a gas fireplace. The guys at Hawkesbury Heating seem very good - and have a wide range of brands



This one is a LOPI - and we would have the mandatory mantlepiece :-)  - gotta have somewhere for the Christmas Stockings LOL

Lighting Ideas

I have been surfing the net - looking for ideas - amazing what Ikea has for the price. I have seen some beautiful pendant lights that I think would look great over the kitchen island bench. Some have been well over $600.00 (I did see one that was something crazy like $2,000.00 - and I want 3 !!!)
 ..... then I look at pendant lights on the IKEA site - and what do you know $59.00 ... which is definitely in my prie range .... LOL
