Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 421Nov 24, 2015 8:49 pm I like the glow from the copper and fortunately or unfortunately however you look at it I have lots of brass nic nacs!! I like the pure but i feel they are too narrow - if i had three pendants possibly but with only two need rounder shape. I like the other but hubby went .....NOPE its like grandmas!!.😉😂 Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 422Nov 24, 2015 8:52 pm ![]() I like the glow from the copper and fortunately or unfortunately however you look at it I have lots of brass nic nacs!!

Ive got rid of so many to declutter and am determined not to have many out but dear ole mum is insisting on giving me all hers!! I don't have the heart to say no!! Then theres her grandfather clock 😣 Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 424Nov 24, 2015 11:13 pm Lol!!! Your kitchen looks fantastic!!! Gee they are nice lights - ALL of them. The copper might add some warmth to the cool white and tie in nicely with the timber tones in your floor and front door ![]() Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 425Nov 25, 2015 11:11 pm PS I'm eyeballing the 'Java' lights from that catalogue for over my island! My homemades look sad in comparison ![]() Any sign of the chute yet? PPS. How good does your kitchen look?? Dance. Clap. Little skip. Big smile.

Im terrified of making the wrong choice with my lights might settle in before I buy them. It is a lovely room can't wait to live in it. No action so far this week except for the fence being removed. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Need more action to be ready in time!! And the promised laundry chute is still not done. ...each time I pass by I peak through the laundry door to see the same crappy chute untouched! 😠 Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 428Nov 26, 2015 7:32 pm Looks amazing. Hopefully the chute will materialise soon!! Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 430Nov 29, 2015 3:18 pm Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 431Nov 29, 2015 9:54 pm Fantastic!!!! SNAP ![]() ![]() Love that room and your Oak Buff walls! Hey I was thinking my kitchen cupboards look weird above (where the bulkhead meets the 'infill'). So I came to look at yours and you don't have a bulkhead -- just the infill. Looks much better. I think even left open would look better. Never mind - not important. Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 432Nov 30, 2015 9:54 am Gosh Pam you have had some serious progress, front facade is looking great, I didn't realize you have a batter towards your house, we do too. Have you thought about retaining?

I can't believe your OH doesn't want to use your moss rocks on your retaining....they are right there! Facade looks really beautiful, I am sure everyone in your neighborhood loves the house.

Yes I have TWO :-0 ![]() Yep in the great scheme of things its not worth worrying over - who is really going to walk into your gorgeous house and say "oh btw I dont like your bulkhead!" oh and if they do just march them right out the front door - the gorgeous black one ![]() We are nearly there TC - what a journey ![]() ![]() Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 436Nov 30, 2015 4:15 pm ![]() Looking fantastic Pam, black doors are classic.

Thx Blue - Im chuffed. The painters finished the outside over the weekend (except for the two supports on the balcony im hoping to drive past tonight to see if its finished) I love my doors too. I am hoping the neighbours like it as I have said all along we never wanted any neighbour issues and choose a home that would blend in ok with the older 1960/70 homes on the estate. I think we have achieved that ![]() I love moss rocks but NO hubby just couldnt see it awwwww well ![]() Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 437Nov 30, 2015 7:01 pm ![]() ![]() Oh boy we are nearly there Pam. Blue too! Yippee indeed, an interesting journey. Right now I'm skipping around the table. No painting for me tonight ... Too blooming excited. Loving the look of both our homes ... Mr Newberg (namesake of our facade) Will be proud of his face on our houses. So will the driveby reveal a chute ![]() ![]() Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 438Nov 30, 2015 7:22 pm Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 439Nov 30, 2015 7:57 pm ![]() ![]() Gosh Pam you have had some serious progress, front facade is looking great, I didn't realize you have a batter towards your house, we do too.

Yeap it's a slope towards or away from the house. Great news your cricketer is all booked in, make sure he adds drainage behind the wall for you ![]() I think even dusty they will look lovely, imagine how much they will pop when you have lawn down ![]() ![]() Tiling looks great too, so excited for all you SA peeps your all super close to hand over Re: Simonds Harcrest - Adelaide Build 440Nov 30, 2015 8:06 pm So they made the opening bigger to accommodate the proper chute??
