    I use Highgrove bathroom in Brisbane - they have shops in VIC too. If you are a Renosave member, there's 10% discount (or your trade might have access to these discount).
    Other than that, eBay ... :p

    Gumtree. Masters (if they have anything left). Search for outlet stores too. I picked up some great tiles for a reno from a tile outlet shop.

    When we were reno-ing on the westside we used both Western Distributers who were in Sunshine for flooring and for a variety of cheap reno stuff there is a big warehouse but can't remember the name of it though. It was under/near the Westgate and near a cemetery too - sorry for being vague but it was prtty awesome for cheap stuff if you can find it.

    I get second hand goods from Facebook buy swap and sell pages mostly for free sometimes I pay a little. A free kitchen/range hood, a sink, plenty of tins of paint and floor/wall tiles are my best finds. Apart from that Gumtree and Ebay have some good stuff as well.

    National tiles- don't bother with seconds etc you can get firsts cheap enough- seconds cost u more in the long run- more glue, angry tilers etc.
    I got IKEA curtains hung them on $6 black rods from Bunnings
    Be careful with trades over that way- plenty of cow boys!
    I will PM u the ones we used and what we paid and will let u know about the bad ones we encountered!
