My husband is a chef but yet I still end up having to host and make food for our guests Will you be putting bar stools at the window on the other side or leaving as is with the open window? Looking forward to seeing your selections I want to put bar stools on the alfresco side of the window eventually but we will have to build a little bar to go in front of the window, we didn't extend the benchtop to go out because they quoted us $6,000 not happening. Lol Re: Building With CL - Baldivis 13Mar 21, 2016 8:40 pm Holy wow! Your selections are stunning!!! Your house is going to look like a display! I want a mud room! They sound awesome! Can I be American just for the custom of having a mud room?! That's so handy your partner is a painter! All my husband can contribute is bribing the sales consultant with tasty food Um yeah they can keep there bench top for that price! Re: Building With CL - Baldivis 14Mar 21, 2016 8:44 pm You know how you love looking at everyone else selections I am the same but with everyone floor plans I feel like such a creep stalking threads just to look at plans, but I love seeing the different way people interpret plans for their own needs. If only there was a thread where people posted plans only I'd never leave that thread Building With CL - Baldivis 15Mar 21, 2016 8:59 pm I was like that when we decided to build and I was looking at floor plans. It was intense, and then when we moved to colour selection I did the same thing lol
And I wish my partner could cook he tries but he nearly kills me every time so I do the cooking... Poor thing, he really does try lol I'm hoping all the colours and tiles look nice when it's completed I'm still a bit worried with the wood look tile against the wine rack laminate colour, but I think everything is pretty neutral and our carpets are white too. But I'm worried of going in and hating and there's no one for me to blame but myself hahahah Re: Building With CL - Baldivis 16Mar 21, 2016 9:01 pm Your floor plan is gorgeous I seriously love your kitchen - the highlight window and particularly the bifold window - great multifunctional addition!! Is there a reason why you kept your sink in that position as opposed to having it in the centre island? The reason I ask is because I've seen a display home from Dale Alcock that had the bifold window - the benchtop became both an inside and outside serving/drinks table, which was cleverly designed Yours still looks awesome either way! Our kitchen was originally going to have a scullery attached - the fridge was initially in there too but then over time it changed and is now a large pantry. I wasn't convinced that the space was large enough to be a scullery without it feeling really tight - so ended up with a nice big pantry Your square kitchen is giving me 'buyers remorse' over my narrow kitchen!

I wanted the sink on the center island but my partner didn't so I compromised, since I got the pot drawers and wine rack hahah im hoping after we extend the bar from the window the sink won't be too much in the way, The display home we had seen in Baldivis has the bifold window and the sink in the same position as ours and it wasnt TOO bad Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And I really like your kitchen layout and pantry! I wish we had a pantry like yours but we just have the cupboard/pantry thing. It works though lol Re: Building With CL - Baldivis 19Mar 21, 2016 9:35 pm TamDear18 Haileyeliz charlibear The bifold window will add such a feature to your beautiful home an open it right up and also make you feel apart of the entertaining if you happen to be inside...

THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING! but I think we will get stone or wood and just add to it, I don't think it looks to bad. sort of like this maybe Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building With CL - Baldivis 20Mar 21, 2016 9:40 pm Welcome ?

Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed. Looks like… 0 11853 Elvis has left the building... The site supervisor quit after 2 month on the project. I guess he was just instructed to bark at people, but didn't like when he was… 26 21656 |
