Page 3 of 10
Thanks for the laughs ladies! Hopefully talk again soon.
Have fun!!!
Don't forget to show us.
Happy zzzzzzz
Kiwi - shhhh, you are casting light on the extent of my stalking!
Thanks BradS! No idea of the wash closet origins, I just grew up calling it that - British family though. We are pretty much Bowral, did you grow up in the area? We thought about opening up the living area, but wide open spaces = lots of space to heat! The front living area we are planning on using as formal dining, so the rumpus will (eventually) be a playroom type area.

So its a British thing, that makes more sense
I grew up in Kingsgrove but the family we have down there has spent nearly all their lives down there.
I hear you about the heating but you have chosen to live in the wrong area if your worried about it being cold lol
Love your plans and an acre is great space. Look forward to following your build
And BradS, the cold is one of the reasons why I love it here, but I am not a fan of huge bills so practicality won out! Although the solar panels we are putting in should help.
Currently everything we have is electric so our winter bills are huge!!!!
Anyway, we did get to finalise our plans today
- *Omega stainless steel 900mm free standing cooker and rangehood
*Omega stainless steel dishwasher
*40mm Caesarstone kitchen benchtops
*2 Aluminium Stacker doors to Alfresco area
*Gainsborough satin chrome lever door handles
*Caroma Metro tapware for bathrooms
*Bluescope Truecore steel frame
*Front door
*Manooga Grande vanity tops
*Caroma Newbury podium bath tub (upgraded to 1800mm)
And our variations:
* extended kitchen in line with dining area
* 2700mm (9ft) ceilings throughout
* 5kw solar system
* Dulux wash and wear paint throughout
Until we get to our colour appointment next week - hopefully that won't add too much!
Our biggest dilemma - the bricks
Anyway, to piccies!
Carpet (Jacaranda Eversoft Brazil) "donkey" coloured
QLD Spotted Gum floor (this isn't our carpet place, but it is a good pic!)
Exterior colours (and my hubby's dirty fingernails) - the brick colours are on the previous page I think.
Clockwise from left: Dulux Natural white/white birch (front door, window frames), Dulux Isolde (cladding above front patio), Surfmist (fascias and eaves) and Ironstone (roof, gutters, downpipes, rainwater tank)
Kitchen colours
White gloss tile for splashback (not actual tile, I am getting 200x100mm subway tiles like here, in fact, that is pretty much my kitchen
Bathroom colours
Clockwise from left: Matt white wall tiles, Laminex Avignon Walnut cabinets (it looks very brown in this pic, the real colour is here), gloss white Manooga Grandetops, charcoal/black matt floor tile
Shower recesses
Did I miss anything?
BIG smiles in our house tonight
Cant wait to see it all start to take shape
well done.
good picks.
and yay for freebies
wheres the brick? on the other page?
Thanks Kiwi, we have made an effort to make it to our taste - turns out our taste is white and neutrals
We are partying with cheap wine - because we did make some savings today!
Success! Thanks a million Deemaree! That would have bugged me for days...
