We went for fancy tiles in the ensuite and just kept the main bath fairly simple so we didn't break the bank with colours. Those wall tiles as your feature are going to look lovely!

View my build thread here: viewtopic.php?t=76776 Re: Building a Plantation Soho 16Apr 07, 2015 9:58 pm Thanks I'm glad you both like the wood look tiles, it's a bit different but certainly a trend. Here's photos of our plans except in this plan they forgot to add a door to access under stair storage - they fixed this prior to us signing the contract today and they also moved the house over a metre or so to give us 2.4 metres side access on one side. 30/01/15 - Land Settlement 07/04/15 - Contract & colour selections 05/05/15- Council approval 28/05/15 - Site start Build Thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76068 Re: Building a Plantation Soho 17Apr 07, 2015 10:04 pm Nice big backyard!

If we had of went for a single story would we have had pretty much no backyard as we're only on a 401 square metre block. Our master bedroom has a view of nice bush scenery a street over. I can't wait to wake up in the mornings and look over to the bush and hopefully wildlife? So glad we opted for a double!! 30/01/15 - Land Settlement 07/04/15 - Contract & colour selections 05/05/15- Council approval 28/05/15 - Site start Build Thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76068 Re: Building a Plantation Soho 19May 06, 2015 9:27 am My thread has been quiet for the last month or so but time for an update. Everything has progressed very quickly, we're impressed with plantation so far. We had our electrician consult a couple of days after our contract and ended up a few hundred under budget after we decided to have our own electrician install our fixings after handover which is much cheaper. A couple of weeks after contract, we received our post contract variations which only came to $500 as we also received some credits. Yesterday we received our council approval, signed our mortgage documents with the bank and obtained our full building approval. Now we are just waiting on the bank to provide the 'authority to commence construction' letter to plantation which my lender has told me will take 24 hours but being a bank, I'll give them until the end of the week before I bug them if we haven't yet received it. If there's no holds up with authority letter from the bank, we're only a couple of weeks away. Woo!! We're also gathered quotes for our flooring since we're doing it after handover. Exciting! We just can't wait until we finally start building now... 30/01/15 - Land Settlement 07/04/15 - Contract & colour selections 05/05/15- Council approval 28/05/15 - Site start Build Thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76068 Re: Building a Plantation Soho 20May 06, 2015 9:34 am Awesome news EmKaralyn!
