This is huge and will take some time to work through.
I still don’t have my work computer back; it got a virus and is away getting a revamp.

Give me some time for this.

Thanks Michelle!
We really appreciate your learned opinion! So much choice... so many possibilities and potential pitfalls.

Kind regards,
Michelle

Michelle……I had intended on finishing all your choices last night, but had a visitor. Now I have lost my second monitor, down to one, hate that!!!

Trying to sort that issue out.

I’ll try and get the rest done later today, got relies coming tomorrow so house work and cooking to do.

Like this as well, white splash back…..I think that’s going to look pretty special.
Make sure you show us a photo of the splash back.

Emohruo · Apr 26, 2010 10:48 pm

Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much for the time that it took you to review our selections! My hubby and I have just breathed a collective sigh of relief.

We are so happy that we have made some colour choices that work.

We think Loft is gorgeous too, We liked the richness of the colour.

White splashback.... I think it will be pretty special as well. It will really pop with some coloured accessories in the kitchen. We looked at black and also red. But we really liked the white large format tiles in our last home's kitchen as they were timeless. So thought glass would be good as it a dream to clean when we had it in a previous home

I will definitely post a picture for you of the splashback.

Many thanks
Michelle

Michelle · Apr 27, 2010 6:56 am

My pleasure Michelle, good luck with your build, and have fun!!

Emohruo · Jun 18, 2010 9:58 pm

Hi Michelle,

Here are some photos of our house. We are still a few weeks to lock up. The roof was just put on this week.

Nice house!!!!

Thanks for the pics, looking forward to more.

Thanks Michelle,

Here is another Pic that I took on Wednesday. When our garage door was installed.. it really changed the look and balance of the house. The roof no longer dominates the picture.

Hi Emohruo (aka Michelle)!

I love the look of your house ::smile::

I am considering using the Haberfield brick for my build and would love to see more pics of your house if you have some to post. Also any pics of your kitchen?

Emohruo · Oct 22, 2010 9:26 pm

Hi Nerak,

Hopefully I should have some new pics on the weekend. and update on our house.

Our bamboo floor was finished 3 weeks ago, the floors took 2.5 weeks to install the installer did a great job!-
The skirting boards were reattached the following week and re painted on Monday this week... the kitchen kicks and panels were installed on Wednesday. We are getting landscaping done and our driveway goes in next week. We should be able to move in next weekend!! Woohoo!

Here are some pics, The skirting boards aren't finished in these.

Master and ensuite
