How many options do you have lined up?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ajcroofing.com/products-services/" rel="nofollow">Joann Winton @ AJCRoofing.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836207051540078722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880358658128094486.post-39317127843550301002014-01-10T11:04:17.899+10:002014-01-10T11:04:17.899+10:00Wow-it looks amazing!

I didn't post about Fort Option 1 - but there was discussion with our architect and builder about it - still very much on the cards though. My boys are very good at setting up shop/cafe - not so good at the beauty therapy spa option (which personally I would much prefer.)

We don't really have lots of furniture (great when you move around a lot) so having built-in options, including built-in banquette seat, was certainly the way to go.

O+V's details are just perfection, all the arcs and criss crosses really just make the room You must be so excited! Regards the fence, can I make another suggestion? Given that the front facade is white and the back is black ( I think?) would you ever consider doing a timber fence as a feature? As in contemporary timber with clear laquer? There is a qldr around the corner from me that is painted white with black trim and they have done a timber fence and it really makes the house and garden stand out beautifully. Can try and send you a pic to explain if you like. Love your fort designs, they are fantastic, I don't remember seeing design 1, I must have missed that post. The fact that it has a shop is gold in my opinion, Liongirl and I are happy to come over any time and set it up for the boys and show them the ropes. Just this week in fact we have been running a beauty therapy spa (complete with purple and yellow eyeshadow), a cafe with confetti milkshakes and even a face painting enterprise. mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880358658128094486.post-13458173766181350242014-01-04T20:49:19.002+10:002014-01-04T20:49:19.002+10:00All of that storage is amazing…and the fact that i...All of that storage is amazing…and the fact that it is all so beautiful is even more amazing!
