There does seem to be a lot of waiting! It's a bit frustrating. We signed the contract and paid the 5% deposit at the start of the month. Monday was the earliest we could book in!

Like you, we opted for the inspirations package too so hoping we don't spend too much on the day with upgrades. Will let you know how it goes.

Big day monday, we did both ours on the same day too, it is full on but such a fun day, good luck, maybe a glass of something to celebrate after.

Definitely! Will depend what time we get home - it's a 4.5 hour drive and back to work Tuesday : (

Cristyandpercy1 · Nov 01, 2014 10:28 am

Haha we spend so much money through them, we should be offered a glass of something when we GET to the appointments

What kitchen and bathroom options did you go for with the inspirations package?

Cristyandpercy1 · Nov 01, 2014 8:19 pm

We went neo modern in the kitchen (but extended the island and swapped the sink for an undermount one coz they're pretty) and the modern cubic bathrooms. What about you?

We have gone for the global chef kitchen although changed the island bench getting rid of the shelving (dust collectors!) and adding waterfall ends.
Went for the organic elegance for the bathrooms

Cristyandpercy1 · Nov 01, 2014 8:44 pm

Cool. Nath wanted that kitchen but it was those island shelves I didn't like too lol. I also wanted the non woodgrain finish in the kitchen and the global chef didn't offer that. Did you go ducted or alfresco? And tile floor or timber laminate?

daydream_build · Nov 01, 2014 10:06 pm

We will end up paying more to get a non-wood grain finish. Funny as the brochure lists both woodgrain and non-woodgrain finishes as options but noticed only woodgrain is listed in our contract.
We chose the alfresco but got a credit for the kitchen. We will be close to the beach so it will be a pain to keep clean and free of rust! So basically we'll be getting the integrated slab and timber decking.
Have opted for laminate flooring as thought we'd try something new. Have previously had polished timbers floors and found they get scratched easily particularly by the dog (and we now have two). Have also had tiles and found the grout hard to keep clean and looking nice particularly in the main thoroughfare.
What have you chosen?

Cristyandpercy1 · Nov 02, 2014 1:47 am

Both like you. We have a mate who is an a/c guy and he's putting in some high powered ducted for us so we went for the alfresco with timber decking. We also chose the timber laminate but have been warned the standard stuff is VERY standard and it's worth upgrading (you'll have to let me know after Monday).

It's all so exciting

FYI Premium Ceasarstone range e.g. Pure White is approx $300 per sq metre extra

Bathroom & ensuite tile upgrades came in at just over $7k - oopps!

We found a nice oak laminate in the standard range so didn't upgrade flooring. Although it doesn't include any underlay so she was going to price that up for me and let me know.
Will post some photos later when we get home

Cristyandpercy1 · Nov 03, 2014 5:39 pm

How exciting!! I bet you're exhausted! Can't wait to see your choices

Are you all set for your colour appointment this week?

Cristyandpercy1 · Nov 09, 2014 1:08 pm

Eek I hope so. Tuesday we have clipsal in the morning and colour in the afternoon... So excited. I think I'm going organic white to save on the bench tops.

Will be a big day!

Good choice ; )
Snow was the other one we looked at and I think that was in the same range as organic white

Good luck tomorrow!
