We should have the carpenter & plumber in this week and have some of the kitchen delivered. Upnorth: i'm absolutely drooling over your garage, i wish we could have fit something like that on our block.

Haha, yeah it's pretty nice. We have a 26m frontage, and it just fits at the back corner of the garage as the block is kind of triangular in shape (26m at the front and 13m at the back). We needed extra space for wheelchair access and making it a triple made more sense than just going to 2.5.

We have chose (well actually I have chosen) lexicon 1/4 for walls, ceiling and cornice etc.We have pure mineralstone diamond gloss (it's white) and polar white for the cupboards. So yep, very similar. Looks great!! Re: Ant & Shannons Coral Homes - stradbroke 279 73May 04, 2011 3:45 pm Oh wow. That is awesome. It feels like you only just started. It has gone so fast!! Our site gets cut tomorrow and everything else starts on the 17th. You will probable be in before we have our slab. Make sure you post more pics Re: Ant & Shannons Coral Homes - stradbroke 279 74May 04, 2011 3:51 pm Oh, and can I ask you are big favour? When you are there next, can you please measure the feature recess in the entry? I have found some paintings I like for our recess and don't want to buy anything too big or too small. No worries if you forget or don't have a tape measure The bank has told us we have access to surplus funds during construction. I wish they hadn't said that Re: Ant & Shannons Coral Homes - stradbroke 279 78May 07, 2011 9:13 am snaps Tamara - it was 135cm x 56cm Awesome!! Thanks heaps for that. Re: Ant & Shannons Coral Homes - stradbroke 279 79May 12, 2011 1:52 pm Alright, enough of keeping me in suspense!! Whats happening?? LOL. And I have a question. What sort of lighting have you gone for in the main living area/kitchen? We are looking at getting LED downlights. Re: Ant & Shannons Coral Homes - stradbroke 279 80May 12, 2011 8:32 pm Ask and you shall receive. Here are the latest pics of the house, we went with compact fluorescent down lights for the walk in robe, alfresco and all the main living areas, the rest of the rooms have standard fluro battons – with exception to the master bed room which has a fancyish looking 4 light holder and the kitchen with has 3 pendant lights.
