Or another idea would be to rotate the robe and study nook 90 degrees and have study nook chair in the kitchen? Would need to move the garage door possibly. I'd also have a think about the panty and laundry configuration. I'd probably rather have a larger laundry, and a different kind of pantry. The panty looks fairly small? There is a lot of empty kitchen wall space along the best 4 wall that could maybe have a shallow pantry? Maybe a door on the media room to keep noise out or in? Could you push the ensuite vanity to the corners and have a larger window? Just some things to think about! None of these ideas might work for you of course! The door to the media room is a great idea how didn't I think about that. so many ideas to think about thanks !

There wasn't a broom cupboard in this design and only one linen cupboard, so none of it could be "nicked" Re: Building with coral homes - Manhattan 23 19Oct 27, 2015 9:40 am Oldies One change we are making is to have a broom cupboard in the space between the Dining and Bed 1 (backing onto the wall behind the En suite shower) We're shifting the Bed 1 door to be parallel to the Dining wall, if that makes sense.

I might try and add one in there too Re: Building with coral homes - Manhattan 23 20Oct 27, 2015 9:46 am Mellywil Welcome baby_blonde and Oldies! I'd never seen the Manhattan before - I like it! I LOVE that the master bedroom is separated from the other bedrooms - we built a Daydream and we loved that about the design. Hi Mellywil, I've been following your build for quite a while and seeing all your highs and lows. It's a bit daunting! But worth it in the end. With hindsight, are there any changes or selections you wish you'd made for your beautiful home? Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13769 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4335 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74701 |
