Not sure what's next; doors, paint and cabinetry? Re: First build in SE Melbourne 45Aug 12, 2017 6:49 pm Looks good!! Next usually the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, cornice and skirting.. that's fixing done, then painting, tiles.. I think. Its looking great, so much has happened. It always looks bigger after the plaster is up D Re: First build in SE Melbourne 46Aug 23, 2017 3:44 pm Just popped down to the house after work (got to leave early!) and can't look around because there's workers here Well, I'm glad there's workers but just spent 40 mins driving here haha. They sent me the fixing invoice today so wanted to check that it's actually been done before I pay! They look like they might be packing up, might hang out for a while and be a crazy stalker lady Re: First build in SE Melbourne 50Sep 02, 2017 10:46 pm aloenyx Wooohooo for kitchen!!! D Looks great. I read an article saying white kitchens were out this year, but I still love 'em! I love white kitchens too! I don't really care what's 'in', that will change! I just picked things that I like Re: First build in SE Melbourne 51Sep 02, 2017 10:47 pm Mrs_W Eeek! Cabinets!!!! You build is flying along. Doesn't seem that way to me but thanks haha! Hopefully it speeds up from here on! Re: First build in SE Melbourne 52Sep 02, 2017 10:52 pm They fixed my broken window so I couldn't get in there today, but luckily the garage door wasn't quite snibbed shut properly! I have my stone. I'm not sure about it, it's not quite the colour I thought it was. It seems more Brown in person, which may not work with my charcoal tiles. Praying it looks ok all together 🤞 They've started taping everything up for painting and they've sanded all of the cornices and trim. Also taken off all doors and things ready to paint. Gas has been done (kind of) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Stone, I'm really hoping this works. It's the first thing I haven't been totally happy with. Looks better in photos than in the house. Also looks very different in different lighting.

I actually really like it, it's just different to what I thought! Re: First build in SE Melbourne 55Sep 03, 2017 3:22 pm What was the name of the stone? Give it a chance. Colours seem to look different depending on lighting and the surrounding colours. Once everything is it hopefully it will all go together well. Re: First build in SE Melbourne 56Sep 03, 2017 3:36 pm I quite like your stone mine is a similar stone in white (with black cabinets)- I do wish my builder offered a stone that had the swirly bits in it rather than dots (if you know what I mean- kind of like clouds rather than pebbles?! Haha) but it wasn't an option for me, I do like yours though Re: First build in SE Melbourne 57Sep 03, 2017 5:19 pm Bri1234 What was the name of the stone? Give it a chance. Colours seem to look different depending on lighting and the surrounding colours. Once everything is it hopefully it will all go together well. The stone is called Typhoon. It looks much browner in the bathrooms to the kitchen. Fingers crossed it works out! Re: First build in SE Melbourne 58Sep 08, 2017 11:12 am I've been given a settlement date today... 13th October!!
