Trinity Lux Q1 - Plantation Homes QLD

Thank you! Nah I wouldnt change anything (at least not yet)! Our furniture is all being delivered tomorrow so I’ll take some photos for you so you can get an idea of the space.

Hi Mec06, we have our colour selection next week and still undecided on the floor. Our wall and ceiling colours are similar to yours (Tranquil Retreat greyish and White). I want to have looselay Dover vinyl for the flooring but a bit scared that it might be too dark. Did it make your house feel more compact or small? And what's your feedback on the Dover flooring? Thanks.

We love our floor and definitely don’t feel like it made the house feel small. It’s definitely a bold flooring though. We have a lot of natural night, the floor plan is very open and it’s a big space so I’m sure that helps. We find it makes the rooms feel more warm especially since we have such a cool colour palette.

Hi mec06

Beautiful house you have got there... I love all the selections.

We are also building in Canberra and probably have the same color palette as yours in the house.
I had a question.

Do you have a picture which could show the back side of your island where the stools go? Against your floors?

I have black, brown and white kitchen and dark floor, tranquil retreat walls and now struggling as to what color should be the back of island. Since your floors are also dark so wanted to see whether you have put black there or white?

Thanks in advance

Congratulations on your beautiful home.

Love your selections and would die for that dark brown floor but too much dust where we are building and we have a white haired dog, so not a good option for us unfortunately.

Now you have been in your house for a while is there anything you may have done differently?

Hi! I have an Instagram with a ton more pictures this might help? It’s @newhomedream the back of the island is white same as the cupboards

Hi again,

I just saw your insta and i am absolutely loving your house and pool is amazing
love every bit of the hard work you ahve done:)

Would you be able to tell me the size of your pool and did you need an approval for it?

What were the distances to avoid piering?

Hi Everyone!

I decided to start my own thread after reading through so many others. This forum has been a gold mine, so I thought I would give back to hopefully help others.

Earlier last year we went to contract on a 630m2 block in Brisbane, the land will hopefully register and settle in December.
We just finished selling our existing home, have moved in with the parentals to save extra $$$ and are full stream ahead in planning our dream home.

We had narrowed down our initial home choices to:
- Stylemaster - Piazza 39FB
- Plantation either the Trinity or Eclipse
- Clarendon - Crestmead 40

We originally decided to go with Stylemaster, the Piazza is a beautiful home and they had a great offer. The floor plan was great, we didn't love it, but felt for the most part we could work with it. We were mostly happy with the initial quote as whilst it was the most expensive we justified the price as they had a good level of inclusions and thier homes seemed to be of a very high quality. Unfortunately, as we got to tender 5 we realised that it just wasn't working and as the price creeped higher for things that seemed like they shouldn't cost that much we decided to part ways. Stylemaster offered to refund our $3K which was a pleasant surprise.

Back to the drawing board.. we initially loved Plantation, especially the Trinity and after viewing it again we knew it was the home for us! The next day we happily parted with our cash to Plantation and now here we are!

We made a couple of changes to the floor plan, nothing major and all options Plantation already offered:
- extending rumpus to the grand rumpus option
- extending alfresco to the grand alfresco
- adding a spa to the ensuite
- adding cavity sliding doors to theatre
- adding door to study
- adding door to pantry opening inside the butlers pantry
- butters pantry cabinetry, sink, bench top and overhead cupboards
- laundry cabinetry
- we also deleted 3 windows which were in awkward places and not needed.

Hi again Mec06

I have a couple of questions for you if you could help.

1- we selected a dark brown hybrid vinyl flooring from karndean which is a shade lighter to your Dover.

Just wondering what color of carpets you used? I have my walls half strength tranquil retreat and vivid white on the skirting and curling and doors.
Appreciate if you could share yours and also if you could attach a picture.

2- about the pool pier, did they tell you what dimensions didn’t require piers?

Thanks

I have a similar experience with Stylemaster. The variations (nothing special- just to display home standard) doubled the price so we’re now thinking that Plantation Majestic is a better option.
