Yes I meant ceiling cornices, lol. You can tell I'm new to this game With my builder they are standard. Mmm, now I'm thinking maybe about not having skirting boards either, I bet they are just dust collectors and I too love the clean lined square look. We'll be having tiles through out minus the me...

Depends on the style of home you are building. If it’s modern clean lines look great. If it’s a little on the heritage ...

I quite like the clean look of having no ceiling architraves, of course we would be getting skirting architraves. My parents have build many houses without ceiling architraves and I think it gives a more modern, cleaned lined look. Does anyone else not have ceiling architraves?

Ok, so I went into Solver today and spoke with a lady who was very helpful. It could be a match to: Solver - smoke pearl Wattyl - Martini Wattle - Torte She thinks that the gutters/pipes were Dune and the roof is Surfmist. So I guess I'm just going to have to pick one :?

Michelle, no I'm not near the floods but our highway into us was cut off so no food could get in. It had to come up from townsville by barge, the shops were very empty all of that week. Our house is on a hill, so no flooding us in :D

Thanks so much for that information house-to-be, I really appreciate it, unfortunately living in Cairns it's impossible for me to visit the display houses. I've got in touch with my cabinet maker this morning to quote me on QQ Turino thanks again :D

Ring them up or email them and ask them - I liked the colour scheme in one of their other ones - the kitchen in Traditional Cocoa - they sent me an email right back with all the details in it - from the tile colour on the floor to the ceiling colour .... Very helpful Fion ok will try, just got shot...

Hi, have been in to Solvers quite a few times this week trying to get our colours for our outside render. Have you looked at their Kanga or Wallaby colours? Also, Taubmans Birchstone is a close match too. Good Luck. No I haven't but we will when we head into the Solver showroom on monday. Thanks

I really love the "Urban Mocha" kitchen on the porter davis website (it's at the bottom of the page) : http://www.porterdavis.com.au/#styles I'm assuming this is a caeserstone benchtop, what colour do you think it is? I'm thinking maybe Ice Snow but it's got a tan tinge to it, I'm confused, lol. The...

hmmm, i think the garage should of been on the west wall. use reflective windows/doors on west side. We had to design a house with the garage on that side as the developers have already put the driveway in before we decided to buy. are you near the coast, are you exposed to the breezes ?

Thanks, I really like that set up.

Actually most of their kitchen is made up of drawers. And does Nova Aur...
