Flaggie's Home - Master BR update pg.69

Hi Everyone and welcome to my thread!

I thought it was about time I start this! Soooo basically HTB and I are FHB's like alot of people on here. We purchased our land in July '09 and ever so patiently waited for it to Settle in April '10. Hopefully we will start building next month. We received our finalised copies of contruction drawings yesterday so it's all downhill from here!!!!

Here's my house plan:

The changes we've made are:
Entry door from garage to house
900mm cooktop in lieu of standard
No render (Will DIY! )
Extra powerpoints
Lan cable from study/home theatre to lounge (So we can watch movies straight from the computer!)
Upgraded tiled areas to entry, dining and lounge
Upgraded toilets from standard to Porsher Renso
Upgraded from standard plastic laundry trough to metal bowl

Floor tiles & Carpet

I found you

Love those floor tiles with the carpet, they'll look gorge!!! Are you doing feature tiles in the bathroom and ensuite or just running the same colours up the walls as well as the floor? I quite like the simple look, our initial plan was the same tile everywhere but now decided to use the floor colour up the shower wall in the ensuite and over the bath in the bathroom and use a plain white tile elsewhere in those rooms. The feature tile when you don't really have a feature tile

Oh and good luck with the DIY render You're very brave - I'm such a scaredy cat about that sort of thing

Uhhh... Thanks Dilla! Feeling the love!

Yes we're doing a small feature border underneath our mirrors in the ensuite and bathroom. I leave my camera cord at my parents place so I'll have to show you tomorrow~!

Hahaha! I totally agree!!

LOL.. Well I'm the type that will try anything when it comes to DIY... I'll be tackling the decking as well without the HTB... We'll see how we go!

Finally Flaggie!

Yes.. I know it's about bloody time!

Time to post some more pictures as I can't sleep!

Some lovely canisters from Spotlight! And my red tea towels! I brought a matching floor mat aswell!


Purchased this one from Villa & Hut. The 8 holder version is only $30 on sale if anyone is interested!

More pictures to come!

Yay pics! You've got a nice vibe happening there Flaggie! Have you got photos of your colour selections throughout the house?

Thanks Deemaree!

I've been working hard all week but am going to spend the weekend putting a mood board together for each room... better understanding of the colours and furniture I want to use =)

Here ya go Dilla,

Main bathroom tile next to feature tile. The grey is actually alot lighter!

It's more like this

Cabinetry - Laminex Smokey Sapelle

Like Like Like!! That's a really pretty colour Flaggie Are you doing a horizontal or vertical strip? That would work either way, wouldn't it That's the beauty of a great tile - you can do so much with it

I can tell already that I'm going to love your place - everything I've seen so far is great

Have any of your neighbours started or finished building yet, or are you the first in your area?

Uhhhh Thank you! You are too sweet

Just a vertical strip directly underneath the mirrors in our bathrooms. Couldn't afford much else really... It already cost us $2500 to fully tile the entry, dining and lounge area, so I limited myself as much as I could... booo hooo

Allthough... This would have looked awesome!



OR This!!! I'm in awe... *wanders off into dream land*


Well there are currently 2 Urbanedge houses that have just started. One of them is my next door neighbour... They are going to make my house look like a little school girl. There are a couple of us PD people building all at the same time so I guess we'll all be third together

Deeeeeeerrrr me! Should've answered your question properly... I stupidly didn't take any pictures while I was at the Colour Selections place. I thought I had all my colours planned out and then the rep said to go with different colours... and then I changed my mind and went with what I have now... Should've just went with my instincts!

I love that "Wash behind your ears"tiling! If only YOur colours will look great together too!

Me too ... that would cost a fortune, so much detail. Each tile would be placed one by one and they are like 2cm x 2cm each

Yes! Someone did!

Here it is!!!



I don't think I've ever been soooo excited to see a fence!

(Edited for privacy reasons)

Hi Flagstaff, good to see you have now got your own thread!!
Love your house design & colours. That bathroom was certainly out there but I am sure first thing in the morning it would have been a little much esp if you had had a few drinks the night before!!
Look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you!! Yay for sitescrape!!

*singing...."Just fence me in!"

Thanks Jodie! Yes I can imagine a crazy night and then walking into that bathroom and and feeling all dizzzzzzy...
Now where are your colours selections?? Looked through your whole thread and couldn't find and piccies...
