We've had a real hard time there for a while. My builder made several mistakes and it's been very frustrating getting honest answers and getting things done properly. Hopefully going forward we can start to enjoy the process.

Having some issues with bricks that they need to fix. Rendering will be painted in paperbark which is the same color as facias and gutters. It should look ok.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Ceasarstone benches are in but they are covered to protect them and everything looks so dirty that it's difficult to visualise the end products. The espresso ligna laminex looks much darker than I expected and the Osprey bench looks alot lighter. I expect the ivory floor tiles to balance it all out. I hope!

Nice choice of lounge, it looks really comfy. Your new tile choices will look awesome. Thanks Henry! I haven't had alot of time to visit forum one. There is so much to do. I can't wait to see it all done. I'm struggling to find blinds and window coverings that will suit. It's so difficult to do until it's all put together.

Didn't realise how difficult it would be to find blinds to fit this entertainment door. The door is 5373 mm and the blinds I wanted don't fit. 😭 It looks so dark in these photos. I think I went in early evening. Will be nice when I get a chance to take better photos. By the time I do, it will probably be nearly done, if not completely done. I wanted these. They are called luminette. But I can't get it big enough to open from right to left. Only from the middle and obviously that won't work on this door.

Lovely layout and nice colour selections. Lots of robe space. I must say that I don't think I could've waited that long for land title. You are very patient. Good luck with the progress! We did wait a long time. It also feels like the building process is taking forever.

We're considering Whisper Ivory Porcelain tiles. This will be for floors and walls to the ceiling. Any thoughts? Tiles Whisper IvoryLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I think it looks nice ... if you like a really light tile the whisper Ivory is nice - I have them to all my floors on the main floor and wet areas, complemented by a darker porcelain tile to the wall areas and some feature mosaic tiles for mirror surrounds and niches. We ended up choosing a different tile. But I just looked at your photos again and the whisper ivory is not as light as I thought. It really is nice! Looks great. The tiles we chose are very similar.
