Hi Hillsbuilds, Really happy that you've put your plans on here, love them! I've sketched up another option you could go with below . .. ??? http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz75/jodge/2017-02-10_01_zps3dv7fyau.jpg?t=1486643067 Gives you a double shower in the ensuite, and saves space by using the...

hey gkc . . . pull yer finger out! No, please don't, take your time, get it right. Out of interest, which direction is north?

Love it! You could maybe flip the laundry and bathroom so you don't hear the washing machine through the wall in the family room? Also move the island left and down and extend the benchtop with cooktop?

I agree with moving the sink to the wall, off the island. We have 2x 600 ovens in the kitchen, either side of the stovetop. Are you buying your own appliances? We imported a 900mm Neff induction cooktop from Hungary last year, cost less than half the price, including freight and taxes. Can't wait to...

Da daaaa Hilssbuild! Certainly was, few years ago now. I'm glad you found it useful, though I think you probably know more than me. [emoji51] Yes, start your own thread, please, and post your plan up on the custom design thread too. Would love to see what you have come up with. Reverse brick veneer,...

Thanks Milestone, our last house was just so brown and neutral on the inside. Definitely time for a bit o colour.

Thanks Hillsbuild! Ours is supposed to be a mix of Hamptons/rustic/shabby chic. We built about 8 years ago, then I started painting furniture shabby-chic-ish. . . The house was just too modern and shiny, so this time we're going for something a bit more rustic & classic, hopefully it won't date ...

Thanks! Unfortunately it's Sherwin Williams (RIP Masters Hardware). Not sure if you can get it anywhere else in Aus. Such a shame, lovely thick paint. I can't remember the exact colour, I can check the tin if you like. I mixed a four litre tin with about 2 litres of Dulux Stowe white.

Electrics are done, huge ceiling fan in the dining room: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--G38iqqMQHQ/WJhkV2LgT1I/AAAAAAAABzg/Ry1K_Cl9Dqc/s640/blogger-image-974978457.jpg And we painted a few colours on the weekend, thank you Masters Hardware for all of the half-price paint. . . I miss you so: htt...

some new piccies for my 2 followers. . . hahaha Travertine has been laid in the foyer: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yqzmY1BkTgo/WIaYe6Bp96I/AAAAAAAAByI/xO7gjWcUK1I/s640/blogger-image-908842469.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Oaf6C7W14bs/WIaYg8feNSI/AAAAAAAAByM/dN9PznVlTys/s640/blogger-i...

Oh man, I wish I found this thread earlier. Any comments on my custom house plan would be greatly appreciated. We are about to continue to Full Working Drawings, so if we discover any major issues with the design we might want to revise it first. http://i63.tinypic.com/24wfqyv.jpg Thanks in advance...

Looks really nice! What tiles are those you're using in the laundry? Thanks algernon. They're from Beaumonts "Heartwood Eucalypt".

Aww shucks, thanks Milestone!

Oh hey. you used the Ikea Pax wardrobes too! They look awesome! I would have loved to go with the timber-look, but we're adding custom painted stuff too, so had to stick with white. I just found out that they sell the variera cover caps for sticking in the holes. . . 100 for 99 cents, bargain! Thoug...

Thanks Ryalls! I will try so hard not to be slack in future. We're probably about a month away from handover, so it's started to get exciting now. We're doing a bit of the work with our own poor sore hands, so it's really satisfying. :)

Love your new home hrvat_ica . . . we have a few similar tastes I think . . . beautiful taps. . . we were going with sleek concrete for our benchtops too, but decided to cut some costs. In contrast though, yours is very modern and ours quite traditional.
