Does it vary from builder to builder? Thanks Abuild it's been crazy busy in the estate. For such a small area there's a lot happening. Apparently Tribe there are ugly skirting boards and nice skirts. My partner was all set to let me go to selections myself as we are set on colours, till he realised I would be choosing the skirts and archs! Re: Our First Home - Local Builder 196Jul 05, 2017 12:05 pm shellu jmart90 Love the big showerhead! And the toilet! We wish we upgraded our toilet, it's so small 😂 My partner sat on it. It's the first thing besides skirting boards I've seen him passionate about How's it going Jmart? Any news? Hahah, we didn't sit on ours until it was in - oops! We're in! Long list of defects and a lot of back and forth regarding some issues but we're in Re: Our First Home - Local Builder 197Jul 05, 2017 3:35 pm Just catching up, lovely choices hun!! Can't wait to see the rest Our First Home - Local Builder 198Jul 11, 2017 10:28 pm Selections! We had our first selections appointment today. I was underwhelmed with the attitude consultant, she really tried to rush us through as she had double booked herself and was trying to catch up. Luckily I am so organised and had preselected most things. Otherwise it would have stressed me out.

So above is our new one, Harmony Bassini. I think harmony is a great name for a toilet! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is our basin, semi inset. Bathroom tapware will be super simple but may be upgraded in a few years if it bugs me. But it probably won't!

This is the standard bath. I feel it's too small? But then I'm not sure what the measurements of a standard bath are. This one is 1665 X 735 X 447. We have a teeny bit of space to upgrade but not much. What do you think? I think the way the bath angles in makes it small.

The one I am looking at swapping to has similar dimensions it just doesn't have the cut in "arm rests" that the original has. I think the arm rests take up lots of space and are unnecessary.
