Re: Tondelver House - Southern Highlands 144Feb 25, 2016 7:47 pm On some builds, such as straw bales and earth mother ships, the builders leave viewing panels to show what the actual structure is (under the render/wall lining). Are you planning to do the same? Re: Tondelver House - Southern Highlands 145Feb 25, 2016 8:41 pm Yes - I plan to show parts of the container walls/ceiling inside - but not settled on which parts until I start on the inside.

I think I really want this tool bench as my kitchen island. Its 182cm (72") long. I could even extend the top width-wise. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The smallest drawers would be great for cutlery etc. Also they would hold 2 lots of 3 plates, saucers etc The 4th drawer would fit bowls and glasses. The cupboards have 2 shelves (I think). I don't intend having any services in my island and I like that I can move it. I think the industrial look will suit the style of building. While looking for different styles I found this pic online so (naturally!!) it's been done before: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Of course the drawers would really face the inside of the kitchen and the flat stainless steel back would face the lounge/dining. I thought I could even attach a custom made coloured/patterned perspex cover over the back if the st. steel looks to severe. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea but whaddya think? Re: Tondelver House - Southern Highlands 153Mar 10, 2016 6:29 pm Oooh I think it would look great - go for it!! My build thread: Custom build on 40 acres viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75656 Re: Tondelver House - Southern Highlands 156Mar 12, 2016 9:21 pm I think it looks great as well.

Bit premature but I know from experience if I waited to buy it until I was ready for it, then it would be no longer available. This was the only one that I've seen that I really liked (with the 2 cupboard doors in the middle for saucepans etc) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I also made a model of it in SketchUp so I could see it in my house model.
