Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 443Dec 02, 2016 7:03 am Thanks Morphjk, that makes sense to me; the only reason I wasn't 100% is that originally we were never asked what colour we wanted the meterbox and I had to chase them up to tell them I wanted it in Monument so I wasn't sure if it was something they normally did or not.

Our builders didn't ask us but painted it to suit the bricks Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 445Dec 02, 2016 10:57 am Good news everybody!

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The "focus on" stuff will be right to collect mid Jan (they only have to wait on the seats from the dining setting but we don't have anywhere to put any of it yet anyway) - still got to work out how to get it all back to Warrnambool. The Nick Scali stuff won't be until Feb or March as they are made to order. Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 451Dec 05, 2016 4:54 am Beautiful furniture. It will look stunning together. Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 452Dec 05, 2016 6:17 am Love all of the furniture! Your nick ScarLi lounge is the one we have had our eye on for our retreat, also in the dark grey! Comfy hey !

It's always hard; you only sit on a couch for a few minutes but might spend an hour or more a day on it once you own it; hard to judge how well it will suit you over time! Re: Custom Build in Warrnambool 454Dec 05, 2016 7:31 pm One of the sliding doors was unlocked! The tilers look like they have pretty well finished putting tiles down, including our splash back each side of the window: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ They look so cool in person, I think they've done a pretty good job with a challenging tile too but then what would I actually know? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Not sure what this is in the butlers pantry; maybe this is something they put over the tiles to protect them when grouting? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Ensuite floor tiles finished, the whole look is much more cohesive now. We're not sure if we need to go ahead and organise another couple of rows to tile to the ceiling once we're in the house or not. It will probably be fine as is once we get used to it.
