Even though I'm not getting mirror, I'm not planning on having returns at all - are returns needed? Re: Commodore Homes, Alkimos Beach - KEYS! - Pics! 882Aug 30, 2015 2:49 am Not required we've decided not to have the returns done now just the back wall. We can always do the returns later on if we decide to.

Quick coaching trip in Port Hedland then my birthday yesterday Thanks for the kind words and advice IssyandOzzy! There shall be no soap bars in the house Wow archetto thanks for posting that up! That's pretty detailed and makes a lot of sense and dare I say not many other companies would have given that advice in as much as depth. It definitely makes sense but doesn't help our causes! jndbgbuild Just thinking BS12, could you do mirror on the back wall under the rangehood and a different colour on the return? Black glass maybe? This actually does make a bit of sense... archetto Not required we've decided not to have the returns done now just the back wall. We can always do the returns later on if we decide to. ...As does this. But would a black return look a little out of place does anyone think? Or maybe even compliment the mirror, especially in a black setting like mine? Arrr why so difficult! First Build, Commodore Homes, Alkimos Beach.

Finally got the internet sorted at the house which makes me a happy chappy! I'm forever on my phone/computer creating websites or doing something tech savvy so good internet was a must. Got myself the fastest possible (100mbs/40mbs) fibre connection with a 250gb data allowance with iiNet for $90 a month which represents great value for anyone looking into internet soon. I wanted the fastest speed to get the most out of my whiz bang TV - streaming Netflix, everything in Full HD/Ultra HD etc and it does the job wonderfully. After not even having ADSL2 at my current home this new connection has given me a smile from ear to ear I also spent my first night at the house last night Have literally been too busy to move my bed up so I STILL haven't moved in, but the theatre couch sure did the trick! And speaking of moving in, all I've got to do is move my bed up but that's no small job and even this weekend looks to be out with work Saturday and racing Sunday. I dare say this is the slowest move in history haha! First Build, Commodore Homes, Alkimos Beach.

As for adding some 'homeliness' and warmth to the space, I would suggest adding some wood and some soft greys along with your pops of colour. Re: Commodore Homes, Alkimos Beach - KEYS! - Pics! 886Aug 31, 2015 3:51 pm Ooo I want fast internet for Netflix too so that's good to know! Does iinet offer uncapped netflix still? Or does it eat into your 250gb. Do you think that's enough for streaming netflix?

Here's the dilemma: Being super contemporary, timber/wood has no place in this house Its a sucky trade off but super modern/luxe has been my vision from the start, so I just have to wear it haha. Thanks for the input though archetto Ooo I want fast internet for Netflix too so that's good to know! Does iinet offer uncapped netflix still? Or does it eat into your 250gb. Do you think that's enough for streaming netflix? As we found out the other day watching 4 things used 25gb lol oops Yep quota free! You do however need to actually sign up to Netflix yourself, but the actual data usage is uncapped. You can go to 500gb for $109 a month I believe, but 250gb equates to 8gb every single day, which I think will be fine for me, especially if you consider that a day of not using much data equates to like 16gb the next day. And you can download full HD movies via torrent for around 2gb each thereabouts I'm pretty sure? What were you watching/what platform that used so much data?

Thanks for the input though Haha BS12 - I have to disagree with you there - timber IS very contemporary and modern - it is the new black It is probably not to your taste, but I agree a bit of light timber might bring some warmth Look at this stunning kitchen - it is very modern and all black, or most of it, and minimalist.

So he's pretty excited about the NBN! He just told me that stage 4 of the estate, have just had full NBN "connection", as in fast internet like yours and were in stage 5!
