Some of the light fittings...

We are trying to get as many products sourced locally in Tasmania as we can. Some, however, we will have to get shipped from the mainland or from overseas.
Following on from the two day workshop at the JAWS Architects Office, these are the light fittings we can confirm will be going into the house, and which we know we can get from a local lighting supplier Casa Monde:
In the bathroom...the light fittings for the basins couldn't be obtained by Casa Monde, but we could get the heater:

IXL Tastic Neo Heater Exhaust in Silver
 Then in the Living Room areas we have:
Brilliant Galaxy 54" Timber Fan in Antique Bronze with timber blades
There is also a lot of LED strip lighting throughout the house, particularly in the Living & Kitchen.
In Viktoria's Studio, the main light is:
Emac & Lawton Brassiere Overhead Lamp in Rust
 And in her window-seat, reading area there will be a small wall lamp:
Emac & Lawton Seattle Spot Light in Antique Silver
 For the main bedroom, there is again some feature LED strip lighting, as well as a wall reading light:
Emac & Lawton Lincoln wall sconce in Antique Silver
 And to circulate hot air downwards, or to cool us on those rare balmy nights, there is also a ceiling fan in the bedroom:
Hunter Pacific Aurora II in burnt copper (not pictured) with black blades
And so we can see what the cats are up to at night time, in the cat garden there is some low wall lighting:


Oriel Lighting Konis Tex LED wall light in Graphite
 All down the concrete hallway, we have these wall lights (Australian made too!):

Robert Kitto Magill wall light in antique bronze
And the final (confirmed) fittings are the exterior sensor flood lights (which look like they actually come with laser weaponry...)
Crompton Lighting LED Sensor Floodlight
We did have a front door light picked out, but Viktoria has decided that most entry lights (that operate on sensors) are fairly uninspiring and/or ugly. So we may have to go down the route of picking out an exterior light we like, then rigging it to a separate sensor (which we were trying to avoid).
Sadly, we have been having a few dramas with the access stairs to the mezzanine... it has been a very frustrating & drawn out process, thus deserving of its own entry... but at the moment it's been a bit too exhausting to put on page.
Suffice to say, the end result is that it looks like we have lost our mezzanine, because the Building Surveyor would not sign off of the access stairs (unless we were to make them a completely unmanageable size for the dimensions of the room). But more on that later.
And more also on the rest of the fixtures we have agreed too... and soon some drawings from the architects showing some of the interior details.
Early 2014... we should begin to build....
