Build with Redink @ SoR

Yeah as robarcher said its basically just to confirm that the tiles are the right ones and they are being put in the right spot. Our tiler offered suggestions for left over feature tiles going behind the vanity as well as in the shower which we hadn't thought of.

Ahh... I see. Ours will be an easy one then because we didn't want any feature tiles, just plain wall tiles and stone look floor tiles (my husband is like a minimalist, anything fancy is a no no to him

). The meeting Will happen tomorrow.

Thanks cc and robarcher!

Also confirm if you are having any tiling mitred. We also got the sills in the toilets and bathrooms tiled. It always seems to be the place where things are put on and ends up getting chipped constantly.

Good idea Decka

thanks!

Garage concrete poured.

Tiles started. Tiler said he would continue on Monday although it's a public holiday.

Hi Cc , if you are reading this, I just want to say that we too are happy with the spa stone tiles!

They look a bit dark and dull in the photos, but actually look very natural, just what we wanted

Looks great! Sometimes photos just dont do justice

Hey teresa.hsh did you end up getting the bisque cloud essastone? We found out a couple of weeks ago that we have to reselect out benchtops and are leaning towards the bisque cloud as there's no similar replacement to the New Sable Luxe.

Hi Cheryltate, yes we did get the Bisque Cloud. Since it was installed in early March I haven't got a chance to go inside the house, I could only go there in the late afternoon after work and peek through the kitchen window, and I kicked myself quite a bit for the choice

because the colour appeared to be kind of a very light brown-ish colour, kind of dull, nothing like the "cream-ish" colour as shown in the photo sent from Redink.

But today when I managed to get in while painters were there, phew! with the sun light, it looks GOOD! it goes so nicely with the Snow Drift cabinet doors. What a relief!

Pity I forgot to take any photos as I was busy showing my mum (visiting from China) around.

I think the Essastone should have had the sample slabs in already? Worth to go and check it out. I remember the New Sable Luxe, it's such a nice and rich colour that it was actually my first choice. Then after changing minds few time, somehow we decided on New Chinchilla. Any how we both are happy with the Bisque Cloud now.

Would like to see how your re-selection goes.

The Essa stone samples are in the Osborne park showroom.. They are only small but better than nothing!

teresa.hsh · Mar 30, 2016 1:45 am

oh those small 10x10cm samples! If you still have time, i will strongly suggest you to hold your decision until the slabs are in. We didn't want any delay in our build and hoping for a miracle that we can move in before my son's 9th bday in mid May, so we pretty made our choice straight away.

Sample slabs shouldn't be too long now.... that's what the Essastone girl kept telling us anyway

Are the samples in now? I had to go to Osborne Park last week to re select but the samples weren't available. .. shame as I really wanted to bring one home to look at it in different lights.... moght go back and get one this weekend if there in....☺

Sorry about repeat post....

I was able to view the samples but not take any away about 2 weeks ago

Hi cheryltate if you are still think about the Bisque Cloud. Here are some photos of our bench. You can see that it gives just a gentle contrast to the white cabinets. Hope this helps Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅

Hi all H1 friends, I haven't been here for a while to do any updates. We are now pretty much just waiting for a PCI call from Redink, hopefully in the next week or so.

As we will have few major items to be done after handover, we are looking for quotes etc lately and would like to see if any one can recommend any companies for any of these to-do items:

- Flooring. We want to do bamboo throughout, atm we are liking the Embelton Coffee and ARC Champagne. Is any one using either of these two and where did you get them from? Is the workmanship good? If there're any pictures to share, that'd be much appreciated!

- Curtain. There're so many choices out there, we love nearly everything we saw in the shops (not helpful I know

). Can any one recommend a good company for that?

- Paving. We need to do driveway, veranda, alfresco and areas around the pool. We are thinking either liquid limestone or aggregate for driveway and veranda, timber look outdoor tiles for alfresco, and paving for pool area. Again, it would be great if anyone can recommend some good companies.

Other than the above, we will still have painting and splashback to do but we kind of set our mind on Secret Harbour Painting and GlassKote.

We look forward to any advice or suggestions on the above items. TIA! :-*
