Browse Forums Building A New House Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 447Jan 04, 2017 4:29 pm In other news, got another quote on blinds and shutters (no curtains) and its actually looking pretty good. Measure, quote & install for plantation shutters to the master bedroom, double roller blinds to the two bedrooms, and a single roller blind to the kitchen for $2.5k. Then I can just put up some curtain rails in the living area and buy some curtains online. Only thing I'd like to do is sheers in the bedroom (I want them across the whole wall), but that's not really important.. its more for looks than function. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 448Jan 04, 2017 8:39 pm That's a bummer that you loved the couch, it's your home your choice, tough t!tties if they don't like your choice or think it's too expensive. Hopefully you find something equally as nice when you go shopping again. That's a great price for shutters and blinds GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 449Jan 04, 2017 9:16 pm Yeah.. family... what can I do? I'll just wait. I have fallen in love with a round glass table from FoF and they have a nice couch too. Starting to think about a modular as well.. might wait until I can see the space.. Yeah, pretty happy with the quote. Need to speak to my builder to see if they can come on site before handover to do measurements, that would really speed things up. Just need a quote on the cat enclosure.. and my builder to come back on the concrete and fencing prices, then I will finally feel a bit comfortable with costs. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 450Jan 05, 2017 8:47 am Its a new day I found a place online last night that sells ex-display furniture nearby, so going to sneak down on my own and take a looksie. Also have to get all these boxes out of my room. Omg.. so many boxes!!! But first, have to take my mini munchkins to the vet for a nail trim (bunnies). Can't wait to see my bunnies hopping all over my new house.. they've never moved before, so will be interesting to see what they think. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 451Jan 05, 2017 4:24 pm Wow I really want plantation shutters in my front bedroom (study) but assumed they would be way out of my price range. Which company was your quote from? I'm building in Beaconsfield so not too far from your area I wanted white wooden Venetian blinds for the bathrooms & toilet but the main bath window is a strange size and none of the spotlight ones fit the window size, such a pain as they were 40% off and my dad was going to install them but my window is 1450 wide and blinds are 1500 wide Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 452Jan 05, 2017 6:09 pm MoniqueElizabeth Wow I really want plantation shutters in my front bedroom (study) but assumed they would be way out of my price range.

I just sent them my plans through email and they sent me a quote. They told me they quote on Cat 3 blinds, so if I pick Cat 1 or 2, the price will drop some more. I checked out shutters through BlindsOnline, they were about $550 each for materials only. This way though someone installs them for me Ooh, awkward size. I'm not sure what my sizes are, but if I go with the custom quote, don't have to worry. Just need to sort out curtains in the living and dining, but that can be done ourselves.

I like the second dining table (personally not a fan of glass dining tables) Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 456Jan 06, 2017 10:21 am I concur with RegVic - if you can fit a 3 + 2, that's what I'd go for. It's what I have now, and what I *hope* will fit in my new house too
As for the dining table, I must admit I prefer the rectangular - I find a round table makes a lot of dead space you can't really use. Plus, with a rectangular, you can probably squeeze more people onto the table if needed (e.g. for a special birthday dinner or something and you invite a 7th or 8th person to join you) I'm loving all your furniture choices so far, you've got some great pieces there, can't wait to see it all in situ (and I bet you can't wait either! LOL) Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 457Jan 06, 2017 10:26 am I think for your space the 3 seater + 2 seater also the rectangle table the glad one looks quite cramped. I hate people touching my elbows with theirs at a table just a pet peeve of mine lol. I love the dining chairs though GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Build Wk 15 458Jan 06, 2017 10:34 am charlibear I love the dining chairs though Oh yes! Agreed, those dining chairs are to die for! And they look supremely comfortable... perfect for long leisurely Sunday lunches with friends I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15284 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
