Also any tips on Paint Colours, Carpet type etc

DarylCome on Guys, someone must have contacts in Adelaide?
after all OPE are invaluable!I presume that the Painiting should be done first?
With the Carpets…
What is Sisal?
What are its advantages/ disadvantages?Thanks in advance.
Hi Daryl,
Sorry mate, if you were in Perth I could point you in a few directions but not Adelaide.
Thats usually the best sequence. If you paint first, you don’t have the dramas of getting paint on new carpets or floors and you don’t have to cut along carpet edge.
Sorry, not really into carpet either. Personally like timber floors and havn’t done any carpeting myself.
Let me know if I can possibly offer any further help.

Choose washable paint, choose a pale colour (magnolia or something similar) that won’t go out of fashion, keep to the same colour throughout the house … it makes the rooms seem light and spacious. Make sure you make a note in your files of the exact shade and brand, so in years to come you know exactly what you need for re-touching/re-painting. As you have already suggested, do the painting first.
Try MacLeays Bulk Store in Brompton for carpets, they often have large remnants (often enough for a house) being sold off for much less than the normal price. Or if you are down south, try Noarlunga Carpets on O’Sullivan Beach Rd, Lonsdale. Make sure any carpets have stainguard treatment. I tend to go for hardwearing berber style carpets that don’t tend to show marks and take a lot of wear.
Good luck!
