Really beautiful pictures!
Congratulations! You had time for the decorations too! Good taste!

quote="Manhattan52"]Here are some photos after our handover. All furniture is just put there and without any styling pieces at all. Upstairs sheer curtains won’t be here till late Jan as well as outdoor kitchens and a few other pieces. Everyone knows how awful I am at photos but here’s some from inside

Very nice!

How did you manage to get your long AC grills?
We ordered them but were told that there was condensation issues and had to split ours up! (over the kitchen)

We moved in 90 days ago.

I'd be annoyed about the white one on your timber bulkhead, was that a mistake?

New land, but 7 months still felt very drawn out! We bought the land that fit the house, so most of the decisions had been made before May, we already had a prelim quote. If you take that into consideration it was more like 10 months.

Our kitchen cabinets are polytec empire oak wood matt

You would think so but this is my 7 yo sons 10th house. He has already asked which house is next!

Sorry I can’t reply on your comment. Yes they are outdoor rugs. Aurugs have a pretty good range of sizes and are very reasonably priced

I believe mine were downgraded to 1.5 and 1m

My selections were completed in November 2018.

2400mm were requested and approved on the plans but Wisdom changed this during the build.

When was your admin finished? Wouldn’t have been much earlier.
My selections were done December 2017

Hi everyone,

For those that have moved in, how are you finding the Ilve Dishwasher?

Ours are always wet and we have to leave it open to dry. I cant find the drying function in the unit which my old Fisher and Paykel DishDrawer did a great job.

Please let me know as im no better off than hand washing at the moment for a family of 6.

I thought I was the only one!! We have to leave our door open after the wash otherwise the dishes dont dry. Even when we do this we find the cutlery holder is constantly wet.
We havent been able to work out the manual so all we have been using is the 90min program

Oh, I saw the dark colour panel in the bottom of the pile and thought that was dark brown for your kitchen cabinets. My bad, not the same colour. Either way, great selection! Bet you can't wait to see what the real thing looks like. What is always interesting to see is when it's built on a large scale and how much the lighting can change the perspective of the colours. We are still holding our breath to see what the final results of our bricks once it's washed.
