Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building our dream 13May 11, 2017 10:38 pm I have attached the couch and ideas for the entry hallway[/quote] If you decided to move the fire I would switch the entry and home office around that way the entry way is actually between 2 rooms rather than making a wall just to divide off the hallway iYKWIM. Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes[/quote] Or if you want to keep the entry door central make the hallway an L shape going around the office (hard to put what I mean in to words) You'd move the office up so the left corner is where the fireplace is currently, giving you space for an L-shaped entryway. Building Monte Thanks heaps I like the L shape, I know what you mean. Hmmm this is all so hard!! I really need to stop looking at it and second guessing myself Re: Building our dream 14May 11, 2017 10:40 pm shellu Found you! I love the feature of the fireplace in the middle, maybe more practical places but I still think it's awesome! I've learnt a couple of tricks!! Yay quoting people!! Thanks it's to be bricked and a feature but hubby won't give me the extra metre I want from his office! Builder will hate us by the end when we keep moving it around 😬 Building our dream 15May 12, 2017 9:33 pm Hello Abuild, Congratulations on getting everything happening. We are currently going through the same process and waiting on our new plans to come back. Your floor plan looks great and the storage is fab, an idea for your fire place, you could make it a dual sided fire place, walking into a house with a fire going with be very inviting. In summer you can artfully pop a pile of logs in it . Great to see another acreage build too. Which state are you building in?? Will be following along Re: Building our dream 16May 16, 2017 7:05 pm Love your topic title. Most of us on here I think really go towards building new to make our dream come true. Will be following along as well! 🤓 Follow our first house build here! -> https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=86484 Re: Building our dream 17May 16, 2017 10:32 pm Tribe7 Hello Abuild, Congratulations on getting everything happening.

Will be following along I will find you and follow on, I love acreage stuff and always looking for ideas! Stumped for trees for the driveway at the minute. That was the plan with the fire place and really was my only want for the house the rest was mostly the hubby so back to plan changes 😬 Poor builder! We will get there in the end and after our chat today it really is only minor. I was just wondering with kids too if the double sided in the middle of the room is a good idea but I guess they are only little for a short time. We are in NSW Do you have a thread?

Love all your storage too.... we have hardly any, and it's a bit of a worry! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Building our dream 20May 17, 2017 12:53 pm Bridgetwitch I love your double sided fireplace... it will make your entrance look very grand!

Thanks for the fireplace comment I have been so nervous about it but I'm sure it will look great once done and it was the one feature I wanted so have stick to it. Now just patiently 🙄😳 waiting on pricing and contracts. They said a week but it has now been 3. Chased up today again so will hopefully hear something by the end of the week. From everyone's thread this is the longest part it seems. I will have a look at your thread 😊 1 4561 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17518 For reference, this is the Austlii reference.
