chelsea Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 We've decided we are getting a cube, I know I should be jumping up and down with excitement but I love my eglu's so much We are going to keep the orange eglu for a holiday home for the girls and get a cube to put in my walk in run. So the green one is going. What colour do you think will go best with orange? Im swaying to purple. is the purple one as nice in real life as it looks on here?

moochoo Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I really love the purple it goes well with the greenery in my garden but if I had to pick another colour I think I'd go for the orange. It looks very Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I wanted orange but Andy said it would clash with purple. My purple eglu is a really deep rich colour - I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 if I didnt already have a orange eglu I would definitely get an orange cube. I want a different colour though, Im 80% convinced on purple because it looks quite nice and dark inside where as the orange one is quite light inside....so purple will help out me in the summer with noisy chooks if its darker inside!

bellekatz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Purple is a great colour!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 ok! 90% convinced on purple now! AND I can get a shallow tubtrug to match in purple so thats a plus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 but lilac and purple would just look SOOO fab together! I've just been looking in the gallery at purple cubes and they look darker inside than in my orange eglu. I would imagine the lilac would be light but maybe not as light as orange?

bronze Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ok if I was to buy another it would be orange. Seeing as its to go witht he orange then def. the purple. (See I would have the same combo) the colours gorgeous and looks lovely with the greenery in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The purple is darker, but for a real combo I would go for pink and orange! See? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Can I throw the cat amongst the pigeons and suggest a purple cube? I would have purple as it goes really well with the orange eglu. Mind you, blue and orange go together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 ok people. We have decided PURPLE (well I have - hubby's had no say! ) If I order it tomorrow do you think it will be a quick delivery?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 ok people. We have decided PURPLE (well I have - hubby's had no say! ) If I order it tomorrow do you think it will be a quick delivery?? Congratulations - isn't it exciting! Purple seems to be the 'in' colour at the moment. I think delivery times are currently between 3 and 4 weeks at the moment. Certainly it was just shy of a 3 week wait for ours (only 11 days to go now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 3/4 weeks Wonder if i tell them i have a hen party on the 22nd they might get it too me quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Worth a try! If they can sell a few more cubes on the back of that it would be worth their effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Have you ordered yours yet Eglutine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 from what they told me it isn't the lack of cubes that is the problem, it is the lack of space on the delivery vans / courier vans. I was willing to pay extra for their 3 day service but it was still a no-can-do. Keeping my fingers crossed for you though - I am sure the hen party will help!

Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Have you ordered yours yet Eglutine? Not yet...want to get the walk in run on the way to being sorted.....although if it is a 3-4 week wait I suppose I may as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
