Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva KITCHEN IN- waterfall island??? 302Aug 09, 2013 5:38 pm Spoke with the kitchen place today and the kitchen island is being fixed. Now just have to wait until it goes in to get my ooooohhh aaaaahhhh waterfall end moment. Think it will look so much better. Still wondering about the mirror splash back on the back of the island too. Much like Banksy's (I think) in the kitchen thread. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva KITCHEN IN- waterfall island??? 303Aug 09, 2013 8:23 pm Yay!!! Looks awesome already!!

The Cakey told me there had been a lot of people there the last two days. They are TILING!!! Yay. Will hopefully get some photos tomorrow. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 305Aug 14, 2013 10:47 pm Oh, can't wait to see! Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 306Aug 15, 2013 6:32 pm Tiles......not grouted yet but you get the idea. Probably a little plain for some people. Main bathroom- from doorway as I couldn't step on floor. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zps99905973.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zps7bf47da7.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zps57553dfc.jpg Ensuite- Not really a fan of the shelf. We have one in our current place but doesn't look the same. Wish I'd done a niche but didn't really think of it. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zpse34eb80d.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zpsbaa74a6d.jpg Laundry - sorry about being blurry http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zps0fe0df09.jpg Kitchen again http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zpsa904f463.jpg Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 307Aug 15, 2013 7:47 pm Looks lovely, timeless choices. I think we have the same wall tile Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 308Aug 15, 2013 8:11 pm Not too plain at all, as FairmontSAcustom says, it's timeless. Looks great, all of it. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 309Aug 15, 2013 8:37 pm Looks absolutely beautiful hun!

Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 311Aug 16, 2013 8:17 am I made a point of making sure there were no soap dishes too, thanks to a tip I read on these forums. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and KITCHEN IN!!! 312Aug 16, 2013 11:00 am No I actually chose those as we had them in our other place. They are a shelf and I loved the functionality. Just doesn't look the same in there. Maybe when the screens are on. I didn't do soap dishes.

Yes, immensely useful. the screens are going to make a huge difference. I'm sure it's going to look fine. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and SLAB ENDS FIXE 315Aug 18, 2013 4:10 pm Went to the house in this disgusting weather..... Sooooooo happy to see my slab ends on the kitchen island put in place. So glad that was fixed. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zps662059e7.jpg Also all tiling is done and grouted. Front porch http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/amancharmar/image_zps215e7faf.jpg Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and SLAB ENDS FIXE 316Aug 18, 2013 4:32 pm The kitchen looks very swish! Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and SLAB ENDS FIXE 317Aug 18, 2013 4:54 pm Thanks, can't wait to see the orange tape disappear on those brushed steel cupboards and then the appliances, lights and splash back in. It's all a little white until then. We are still trying to decide whether to put the mirror splash back on the back of the island. Think we need to wait for floor tiles to decide first. May do it in two parts (splash back first then island) to help make decision rather than all at once. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and SLAB ENDS FIXE 318Aug 18, 2013 5:40 pm It looks freakin awesome!!

My 2c would be to wait for the splashback to go in before deciding to do the same on the back of the island--it might be too many mirrors. Re: Modified Fairmont Geneva in SA- TILES and SLAB ENDS FIXE 320Aug 18, 2013 5:51 pm Thanks Amy. Yeah I think so Lucinda. It looks so awesome on the kitchen in the kitchen thread but they do have a black island. Worried when the floor goes in it will all be way too white. |
