Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 27, 2010 1:42 pm Hi Guys, Been on here for a while putting my 2 cents in on others posts (I'm already a silver member and don't have my own thread... maybe I just talk too much!)... thought it was about time to start my own! So - to introduce us... long story short... 5 years ago, girl and boy meet in Sydney... 3 months later girl buys unit in Melbourne... boy leaves Brisbane to move in with girl in Melbourne... over 5 years girl and boy get married and renovate unit... then decide unit too small... girl and boy buy land... look for house - found house paid deposit gone to tender... and then that brings us to today... We have finally finished our renos and the FOR SALE sign will be up on Friday! I have posted before and after shots! Let us know what you think! Lounge the day we moved in: AFTER: Kitchen the day we moved in: AFTER: Bathroom the day we moved in: AFTER: Bedroom the day we moved in: AFTER: Front of house before: AFTER: So... out with the old an in with the new... We put a deposit on land in Feb 2009 in Bluestone Green Wyndham Vale... titles expected Feb 2010... last update was land is due Mid June... not a worry for us as we are in the process of selling (move back in with my parents in between) so we set our site start date for August 2010 (luckily we will not be up for late site start fees like so many others in our estate) Anywho... we have decided to build the Atlantique 36 Mk2 with Carlisle homes... we have been to tender and went a little over budget so we have had to reassess - in the process of amending tender! Included are floor plan, colours and a few selections/extras! Block: Colours: Brick - Boral Mist (Cat 4A upgrade) Brick 2 - Feature under the front window - Austral Graphite (Cat 6A upgrade) Roof - Monier Traditional in Barramundi (Cat 2 upgrade) Garage door - Gliderol Tuscan profile in Surfmist Front door, gutters, fascia, meter box all in Surfmist Windows - A&L Anodic Grey Timber pillars - Shale Grey (we will paint these a metallic grey/silver after hand over) Battens on portico - alternate with Surfmist and Monument Internal - Walls Lexicon Trims, ceiling, doors - Lexicon 1/2 Splashback - Western Myall Theatre Room and feature walls (after handover) Klavier Floors (upgrade) - timber laminates to all areas except bedrooms, home theatre and wet areas (ensuite, powder, bathroom, laundry and toilet) Tiles for wet areas - similar colour as shown in the photo but they will now be 400x400 (those tiles would have cost us too much!) Carpet (Cat 2 upgrade) - Godfrey Hirst - St Tropez in colour Eclipse Kitchen... Lower cupboards - Alaskan Above head cupboards - Lustrous Elm (we had to pay for the choice of 2 colours) Above head feature door Splashback - Dulux Western Myall on normal glass Bench - Caesarstone Urban Sink - undermount Ensuite and Powder Lustrous elm with the Urban bench tops Tara Sinks Laundry and bathroom Lustrous elm with Laminex Basalt bench tops A few things extra: Bi fold doors from lounge and meals to alfresco Bi fold window from kitchen to alfresco Remove the pillar from the alfresco Added a fly screen door to the laundry 3 x privacy lever handles Cat 2 door handles through out house Waterfall Caesarstone edges to the island bench Undermount kitchen sink Microwave with trim kit Upgraded to an all gas cooker rather than the gas top stove/electric oven Mirror above the spa in the ensuite to the height of the shower screen 2 niches in the showers (1 for bathroom and 1 for ensuite) Silver trim to the bath hobs and niches 25 downlights 2 downlights under the over head cupboards for kitchen 2 wall lights approx 400mm high in the rear hallway (either side of the bathroom doors) A few extra power points in laundry/on island bench etc and external lights/ tv point to rumpus Data network cabling to four points Provisions for refrigerated air (upgraded ducts/3 phase/zoning) Upgrade to underlay Feature tile upgrades to bathroom/ensuite/powder Upgraded skirting (from standard 67mm x 12mm to 92mm x 12mm) We're pretty excited and scared at the same time... just like most others on here!!! We'd be happy to hear feedback... especially this side of contract signing!!! Thanks for looking at our thread!

Re: The Wilson's... home reno, sale, and new build LOTS OF P 10Apr 27, 2010 9:49 pm Hey sleven, THANK YOU for posting all your stuff, + it's great stuff. I was about to try to 'post' you on ibfragalot's thread to tell you how amazing your selections were on the blog ~ at last you are traceable... Congratulations on all your hard work ~ you have transformed that house + done a fantastic job. I love that you even redid the facade colour to be that gorgeous grey to match the tones inside the house. As for the Carlisle Atlantique, I know people who have stalked that display house... great choice. You guys *obviously* know what you're doing ~ I wouldn't change a single thing throughout your selections ~ brilliant! Of course this is influenced by our obvious love of the greys. And lovely Lustrous Elm making an appearance too... Well done, can't wait to see this one! ~ cheers, J _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: The Wilson's... home reno, sale, and new build LOTS OF P 11Apr 27, 2010 10:14 pm Great selections guys!

I like. Is it for a feature of most of the house? We selected the Boral Mist and are very eager to see it in the flesh on our house. Only a little while to go. So if our interested to see some keep an eye on my thread for a picture update when they arrive. NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!
