Re: Our Summit Homes Build in Secret Harbour WA 42Oct 23, 2016 12:44 am ms_prez tdk14 Awesome! I was there a few days ago 😍 What benchtop did you pick? Hi tdk14, we have decided to go with the Carrara stone top for the kitchen and scullery, of course typical me, it was another upgrade For the bathrooms we are pretty convinced on the crystallite. What about you? Stilettos & Bricks, our Building Journey Blog - https://stilettosbricks.com Building thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85183&hilit=secret+harbour Very nice! Initially I was set on Essastone Pure Cloud (I like my simple white... well I thought I did) but within 0.5 seconds of seeing that glittering Qstone benchtop they had on display, I immediately switched to it *and* added it in the ensuite!... sigh Your finishes are just gonna be stunning! Re: Our Summit Homes Build in Secret Harbour WA 43Oct 23, 2016 12:44 am spiffmiff The Orchard I keep meaning to start my own thread but it hasn't happened yet... Beautiful, I love the layout of The Orchard, especially the kichen, scullery and laundry areas. Definitely would be great to follow your build as there are not to many Summit Homes on here at the moment.

If you want the 31c to flow all the way to the back of the house, that dropped ceiling will spoil that look. Re: Our Summit Homes Build in Secret Harbour WA 49Oct 25, 2016 7:28 pm catalina_16 Hi, One more observation of your house plan: There is a dropped ceiling near the entry hall way. If you want the 31c to flow all the way to the back of the house, that dropped ceiling will spoil that look. Hi catalina_16, we have just updated the plans.......again and removed the activity room walls and doors, we have also requested that the ceiling height be lifted to 31c . Will post the new updated plans once I receive them. Thanks again for your suggestions, ,much appreciated xxx Stilettos & Bricks, our Building Journey blog - http://stilettosbricks.com Our Build Thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85183 Stilettos & Bricks -our Building Journey Blog https://stilettosbricks.com viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85183&hilit=secret+harbour Re: Our Summit Homes Build in Secret Harbour WA 51Oct 26, 2016 1:59 pm ZoePerth Good observation Catalina! You looking at internal colours ms prez? Saw you asking about a paint colour. I'm still debating ours! Hey ZoePerth Yes, must admit im struggling with interior choices. We have picked our tiles for the living areas and kitchen colours - Benchtop - Essastone Carrara Cupboards - polarwhite silk (Picture makes it look abit yellow , it is a light grey) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Benchtop Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I really like the Lexicon half, we have Lexicon Full in our current house and its gorgeous, but I am worried that everything is so light and bright that our home may resemble a mental Institute!

Bathroom2: The towel rail is going to be hit by the door. I would find an alternative location possibly under the window Conduits: Get conduits to all your light switches. If you're planning on down lights in the rooms, in the future your electrician can easily pull in more cables so that you can switch on only certain lights Re: Our Summit Homes Build in Secret Harbour WA 54Oct 26, 2016 5:56 pm Thanks catalina_16 for the feedback, great point with the laundry tiling.
