What size are the tiles... Are they 300x100 or 300x150. It's a great size for such an open area Hi there. Our herringbone feature wall in the ensuite is the same as the other ensuite walks/floors. 600x600. I had each till cut into strips to make 600x150. I wanted the wall to look different but not stand out too much. To have them cut is quite costly - about $10 per l/m or about $600 for our 14m2 wall. Place is in Osborne park. Our other herringbone tiles in the original bathroom and new laundry are 300x75 Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 404Oct 15, 2016 10:36 pm Fantastic build - love all the contrast - black tapware, black japan stain etc, just awesome.

It's been a frustrating few weeks with our electritian moving to Melbourne before final fit off but after lots of head scratching by my new electricians we have been able to turn on almost all circuits. Say bye to the candles!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My next job is to draw up our landscaping so I might brain storm some sketches to get feed back. Haven't put much thought into it yet and seem to fall asleep when the kids do. I think I need to drink more coffee. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 407Oct 21, 2016 7:24 pm How exciting!

The steel windows and doors are glazed. The cedar dividing wall was installed today. I'll most likely bleach/stain or paint it white. The bench is now ready for a stone top. I haven't decided on what to use yet. Any suggestions?

Day bed might be a good option, you can extend the width of the bed with a few cedar posts?

This little area is one of my favourite aspects of our house. - once it's done Marble would be great. Issue is that our steel fabricator made a small error in his measurements and I'm only left with 18mm between the bricks and the bottom of the bifolds. Hence I can't use 20mm stone. I have to try find a solution that is less than 15mm think. I know acrylic will work but I'm not really a fan...... still investigating options. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 414Oct 28, 2016 6:17 pm Some benchtop updates. We've had some of our stone installed today. Slightly frustrating day as several pieces were measured incorrectly so more waiting but I thought I'd put up some pics. This is our little "study" area.

B R O N T E. 43 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=79581 Thank you MrsJM. It's starting to finally look like a home. The study is actually just a product like kerlite tiles. They come in slabs of 3x1.5m and are 6mm thick so require a substrate. They are much more realistic in my opinion than engineered stones and come in a really nice honed finish. I think I'm also going to use it on our courtyard day bed.

I would be over the moon how well it's all looking I've been happy with most of the choices we have made but there are always going to be regrets. I tend to try to forget them by reminding myself that the kids will probably trash it all soon anyway. . Just checked out your site. Looks like you've got the utilities happening.
