Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Spotted gum floors down 702Jun 16, 2016 1:19 pm Thanks! Finally all done. Next, skirting boards and carpet. Was going to start epoxying the garage floor, but turns out it's too cold for the epoxy to cure, so going to wait a few months first. It's crazy how different the floor colours are during the day and under different lighting too! During daylight: At night under lighting: Size comparison (189mm wide boards) Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Spotted gum floors down 704Jun 28, 2016 1:28 pm Lot's been happening, haven't had time to make any updates. Finally living in the house now. Still need to paint the skirting boards, but they're all finally on. Had a plumbing issue - the point of connection was burried and broken by the site cut. Plumbers had to excavate the backyard to find the connection point, fix it and bring it up. A friend of mine (landscaper) has sketched out plans for the landscaping. Excited for that to start. Driveway in about 3 weeks. Carpet is in. The best part about doing the flooring yourself is not having metal transitions between the flooring and carpet, and no quads! The study is going to take a bit of time. We've got the desk sorted, and internet going. Done a speed test and are getting 97mbps. Pretty happy with that! Also need to work out if any of my snake tanks will be going into the study or not. Think it'll depend on the shelving we get. Also having a friend doing our dressing room fitouts. Dressing room 1 is just about done. It's got two high hanging rails, shelving at the top, three bottom shelves for shoe storage on each end of the units, and drawers in the middle. It'll also have a big mirror and adjustable shelves in the middle section. Then it'll be onto room two. Pics soon. The rest of the place is starting to feel like a home now! Few more things to do, then I'll start looking at the rear decking. A little annoyed too - wanted to epoxy the garage floor, but most of the epoxy's wont cure in the cold temperatures we're receiving. Anyway, few more pics: Kitchen and new stools Living area Pool table Custom dining table: Also, hoping to get a sparky in in the next week or so to start doing our pendant lights. Blinds also should be ready this weekend.

Your dining table is amazing...the timber is really beautiful , it's so much easier to talk to each other at a square table. Are the dining chairs leather? I have been looking for chairs & stools I like for about a year with no luck. We've bought a temporary set for now, so I can stop stressing about it for a bit. I really like your bar stools. I haven't seen those anywhere. ....snakes??? you're living my worst nightmare!! but I'm sure yours are well loved and well behaved viewtopic.php?t=81336 Building with MainVue - Modified Ivory 436...our journey Re: Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Post handover jobs continue 707Jun 28, 2016 6:44 pm Hey your place is looking awesome. Good to hear you guys are in now and most of it is sorted. Gotta say all your colour choices come together nicely. But seriously, that table is the business. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Post handover jobs continue 708Jun 29, 2016 7:43 am Thanks guys. The photo doesn't do the table justice. I was literally sitting at the stools staring and admiring it. The guys who built it (Pash furniture) done an incredible job! Highly recommend them. Saint Girl Congratulations Snyde, it all looks fantastic.

The chairs are vinyl but do look like leather. I found them in Adriatic and loved 'em straight away. Though - we've had a few issues with Adriatic trying to get them. The stools are from Pash furniture aswell as the table. I'd recommend looking there, or looking at getting stools custom made if you have the budget. We had the same issue, we couldn't find anything we really liked. The snakes are tame! One's only small, about the size of a childrens python, the other.. well she's a bit bigger, but she's friendly. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Post handover jobs continue 709Jun 29, 2016 8:05 am Thanks for the tip Snyde. I'll look up Pash Furniture. Maybe they can solve my dining chair stress.... Must be great to be settled in now.

I love your colour choices and styling! What type of flooring is that? My Homeone Thread - Re: Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Post handover jobs continue 715Jun 29, 2016 1:11 pm Thanks. The flooring is 189mm wide spotted gum. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Post handover jobs continue 716Aug 16, 2016 6:51 am Been a while since the last update. House is still going good.

We have been looking at ones similar to the ones you have over your bench. My chef husband calls it a 'workspace", (not a kitchen lol) and won't have anything hanging. Also love what you've chosen over your dining table. Great choices! I'm still searching for perfect dining chairs, so not sure what to use there yet. Thanks for posting the photos Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 10441 It seems very clear to me that your contract states that a security account does NOT need to be established so the answer to the builder is NO. If in doubt find a contract… 1 8501 2 31333 |
