The front elevation is the 'Orion' Here is our kitchen. We added overhead cupboards above the bench as well as above the fridge. We deleted the tiled splash back as we are going to install a glass splash back after handover. Also replaced the cupboards with drawers. Here is our laundry. We removed the linen cupboard and leaving the space vacant for our ironing board to live (my sisters laundry is like this and it's awesome!). We extended the laundry bench and added overhead cupboards. Also extended the tiled splash back up to the overhead cupboards. Also the trough is going to be moved all the way to the left so there is more bench space. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Here is the ensuite. We extended the bench top and added a 1020 high tiled wall to the shower so there are no gaps either side of the vanity. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Here is the bathroom. Again we extended the bench top and added the 1020 high tiled wall to the shower. Also extended the wall tiles either end of the bath.

I agree with rossb2003, i would love to see you electrical plan. We too added the nib wall, same cost as you. My partner only let me have it in the ensuite not the main bathroom. He said we wont use it much couldn’t justify the extra cost. We comprised by moving the vanity so that it is flush again the bath so i will have a bigger gap to make it easier to clean. Then he will build me a rack of i will add a bin or something. Elly_93, my advice to you is get as much included with the sales rep before you sign. My guy was great, we got him through a referral and we were able to negotiate a little on price and he threw in a few extras whereas at prestart the price was the price no budging. We got the double shower to 2 shower heads for $740 and it would have cost a lot more if we had done it at prestart. We've got kids so our main bathroom gets filthy! Haha those little gaps drive me insane so it was a 'must have' for both the ensuite and bathroom! I agree to get as much costed up before you sign up. It is hard though. We got heaps costed up, but then by the time pre-start came around had thought of so many more changes we hadn't thought of before and also deleted some of the changes we had got cost up because we changed our mind! At least if you get all the big changes costed up at the beginning you won't be up for any surprises at pre-start. Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate, Caversham 17Mar 24, 2014 11:40 pm Ash Shep ha ha me too. I wasn't allowed to have a nib in the bathroom either. Oh well you have to let them win sometimes. Lol Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate, Caversham 18Mar 24, 2014 11:46 pm Looks good bingo18. Love the idea of closing the gaps in the bathrooms. Damn why didn't I think of that! Love your floor plan and the dark tiles. Re the white tiles I would recommend making sure the grout is sealed extra well. It's the grout that shows dirt not the tiles I found. I also found some things didn't really cost much but other things like floor to ceiling to less were pretty expensive. We just got to a point where we thought we had upgraded so many things it was like ok that's enough. Look forward to following your build. Looks like a lovely spacious home. Hope the land settlement is on time for you. Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate, Caversham 19Mar 24, 2014 11:47 pm joannek Looks good bingo18.
