I put them in between rooms and also to isolate the laundry from the family/ dining/ home theatre. Best ever investment. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons build - façade d 402Jan 21, 2018 10:59 pm thanks guys. im hoping it makes a difference!

Our 37sq Custom Hamptons Inspired Home: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=86931 thanks dani - yeah i wanted open plan cos i feel cramped when in small spaces. never had this before but hopefully we like it when we move in had some good progress last few days, locked in our kitchen, stonemason, wardrobe supplier and updated a few 2-pac paint colours. so full steam ahead. the plasterers did their "patch ups" this week, will be sanding and painting next week. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 406Jan 26, 2018 8:01 pm Have you guys decided on your WIR layout? Assuming your having built in cabinetry? We still have to work out what we want for ours What did you change with the 2 pac colors? Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 407Jan 27, 2018 6:48 am Dani_J Have you guys decided on your WIR layout? Assuming your having built in cabinetry? We still have to work out what we want for ours What did you change with the 2 pac colors? Yep. WIR layout all done. Pics below. Doing it in stone grey melamine. Came to a little over 4k from the kitchen place including Blum drawers and backing board. Changed the cabinet colour in powder room to "silkwort" Dulux to match the new Subway tiles which I think was a taupe/grey colour. The only thing we have not decided on yet was what White colour to do for the kitchen cabinets. We have a choice between Whisper White and Astor White. The White cabinets have been hardest to pick because I dislike yellow tones that some of them have. What did you go for?

Great that you can still get melamine in a different colour. Going to ask for the same. Pretty good layout you have there. The only thing I want to add is space for a shelf where we can keep our perfume/ aftershave and my jewellery box, perhaps with a mirror above so easy to get ready in the morning. My builder also mentioned another client added USB / PowerPoint so they could charge their phones. Think this is a great idea. Silkwort will be a nice darkish grey for the powder. As for the kitchen perhaps take a look at the colour codes. Might help you decide which white would suite better. This is a really good article which explains how to evaluate different whites: http://www.elementsathome.com.au/2014/0 ... ained.html Our 37sq Custom Hamptons Inspired Home: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=86931 Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 409Jan 27, 2018 8:04 am We have chosen Polar White in a satin finish which is a standard Laminex colourtech colour. We've seen a lot of this in display homes so playing it safe with the same.

T Thanks Dani! actually thats a great idea, might look into that! my wife has been breaking my balls about not wasting clothes storage space, because apparently the 7 linear metres of wardrobe we have is not enough.... lol Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 411Jan 28, 2018 8:56 am Hi Chris. Can you share the house plan part that your cabinets are to be installed? I'm trying to picture the three designs as to where they fit.. 7 metres! My wir is 2.3m x 4.5 and I thought that was big. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 413Jan 28, 2018 8:14 pm Thanks mate. Makes sense now that I can see the cavity door. Can't wait to plan our wir's. Only $$$ in the way right now 🤣 Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 414Jan 28, 2018 9:25 pm It actually wasnt as expensive as I thought it was going to be. Get a few quotes! Quotes I had ranged from 4k - 9k for this! Changing material to a flat colour helped heaps too. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 415Jan 31, 2018 9:53 pm Bit of progress today. Painter started the undercoat. I'm a bit worried it seems thin and I can see through it seems patchy. Painter tells me it's just a sealer and soaking in. Hopefully they have not thinned it down too much. Good News. My stairs void is now unveiled! I'm so happy with how it looks. Way bigger than I imagined.

The void looks amazing. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - painting 417Jan 31, 2018 10:25 pm at the moment just undercoat. ceilings are whisper white. bedrooms are ghosting, living areas are taupe grey. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - painting 418Feb 01, 2018 5:10 pm That void will definitely make a statement when you walk in Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - painting 419Feb 01, 2018 6:22 pm Holy sheep. We had a near miss today. I get a Call from my painter telling me that the paint selection ghosting for bedrooms looks crap. Anyway turned out he was right. The colour samples I did were not big enough to get a sense for the colour. Needed 1mx1m sample to get a feel for it. Anyway ended up diluting the wall colour in bedrooms to half strength and looks much better phew. Few pics of samples . A bit hard to see due to light shadows but the half colour is the top half.

Paint colours are so difficult to get right. They always look different large scale and depending on the light. I've been stressing big time about it, and we found that a lot of the colours we initially tested were too dark once we painted two coats. Hence we are going half strength also.
