M3Con Mercer 35 24Dec 21, 2007 11:26 pm wow! I think I know where you built it... is it A****a St in HH? My parents live around the corner and I've watched it go up over the last few months- seem pretty quick to me!
And you've got a great size block too- looks like you've got some work ahead and a great house to live in- congrats! Anthea 14 Feb 2007 43 Melbourne Junior Member Re: We're In!!!

Shouldn't be too long now, just waiting for the flooring in the New Year. Have you started your build yet? 14 Feb 2007 43 Melbourne Junior Member We're really in!! 26Feb 23, 2008 6:28 am Just an update - flooring was completed last week, and carpets were finished yesterday. So now .... we're moving in!!! Almost a year to the day since we got the keys to the house we demolished, although we actually signed up for the build 2 months before that.
Here's a couple of pics of the flooring (which looks great by the way!)

M3Con Mercer 35 28Feb 23, 2008 12:38 pm looks like it could be spotted gum.
Gorgeous floors. Re: We're In!!! M3Con Mercer 35 32Feb 23, 2008 3:28 pm I hate bright kitchens but looking at yours I could be persuaded.... It looks very stunning and clean. I love the variation in the floorboard colour too. Well done and enjoy. Fi has moved in!! Re: We're In!!!

Brittany, is your kitchen all white by any chance??
But, I agree, timber flooring looks so good in areas like these, we are doing similar and only having carpet in lounge and bedrooms, open space kit/meals/family and hallways in timber. Re: We're In!!! M3Con Mercer 35 35Feb 23, 2008 7:06 pm Actually... my kitchen hopefully is going to be the same as in the showroom - chocolate cupboards, black mottled bench top, small rose red feature tiles as a splashback! I walked in and said I want that - how easy can it be! They used orange tiles though. I always said I didn't want a white house but every so often I see a picture and think mmmm! Fi has moved in!!

M3Con Mercer 35 36Feb 23, 2008 8:51 pm Brittany, I don't get it - you don't like bright kitchens but you are having chocolate cupboards, black mottled bench and red splashback - won't that be bright??
Brighter in fact than the fairly neutral tones in Pootle's kitchen?? 16 Jan 2008 377 Willunga South Australia Gold Member Re: We're In!!! M3Con Mercer 35 37Feb 23, 2008 9:03 pm Hi Pootle,
What a gorgeous place....you must be so happy with the way everything has turned out! 
I love the kitchen...we are having a similar one but with black bench tops. The timber flooring looks beautiful...very warm and inviting. I,d love to see some more pics if you have any. What are your plans for the garden? What size is your block? I can,t wait until our build starts....
