Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 23Sep 01, 2015 8:34 pm I like that all your cabinets in your bathrooms will be the same, we did the same thing and it looks really good. Lovely grey floor tile too. How will the penny round be laid? In a strip, in the niche or some other way? Extremely fancy I like it a lot. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 24Sep 01, 2015 9:07 pm Tribe, edited above as the units won't be the same, we decided to mix it up a bit. Unit colours shown on previous page, Basalt and Himalayan Stone Laminex although Ensuite will be Polar White. We want to lay the penny rounds either on the shower wall or on the wall around the bath. We think about 4 sq metres, which is pretty expensive but worth it. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 25Sep 27, 2015 7:13 pm Here's our final Studio M selection.

We are building Liberty too. Looking forward to see your beautiful house! Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 36Sep 27, 2015 10:32 pm Hi VistaDream, do you mind sharing how much does M charge for the bertazzoni gas cooktop? And what's the difference between the maple treads and risers vs the standard ones? Thanks. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 37Sep 27, 2015 11:24 pm We, well I say we, I mean SWMBO, upgraded the cooktop to Bertazzoni and the oven to F&P and all in it was $2950. Plus there's a greater cost for stone bench top and cabinetry as it's integrated. Maple treads and risers was $240 but remember you're only getting two steps in maple, the rest is still carpeted. HTH Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 38Sep 27, 2015 11:42 pm Emmz70 OMG VistaDream and I was aiming for 15 upgrades tomorrow I'd have to sell all the kids plus hubby with them upgrades lol your home will look super fab for sure That's not even the full list, 91 items altogether although a couple are free upgrades due to the standard item being changed.
