Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 410Jan 27, 2018 11:30 pm Dani_J The only thing I want to add is space for a shelf where we can keep our perfume/ aftershave and my jewellery box, perhaps with a mirror above so easy to get ready in the morning. My builder also mentioned another client added USB / PowerPoint so they could charge their phones. T Thanks Dani! actually thats a great idea, might look into that! my wife has been breaking my balls about not wasting clothes storage space, because apparently the 7 linear metres of wardrobe we have is not enough.... lol Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 411Jan 28, 2018 8:56 am Hi Chris. Can you share the house plan part that your cabinets are to be installed? I'm trying to picture the three designs as to where they fit.. 7 metres! My wir is 2.3m x 4.5 and I thought that was big. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 413Jan 28, 2018 8:14 pm Thanks mate. Makes sense now that I can see the cavity door. Can't wait to plan our wir's. Only $$$ in the way right now 🤣 Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 414Jan 28, 2018 9:25 pm It actually wasnt as expensive as I thought it was going to be. Get a few quotes! Quotes I had ranged from 4k - 9k for this! Changing material to a flat colour helped heaps too. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - plaster in 415Jan 31, 2018 9:53 pm Bit of progress today. Painter started the undercoat. I'm a bit worried it seems thin and I can see through it seems patchy. Painter tells me it's just a sealer and soaking in. Hopefully they have not thinned it down too much. Good News. My stairs void is now unveiled! I'm so happy with how it looks. Way bigger than I imagined.

The void looks amazing. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - painting 417Jan 31, 2018 10:25 pm at the moment just undercoat. ceilings are whisper white. bedrooms are ghosting, living areas are taupe grey. Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - painting 418Feb 01, 2018 5:10 pm That void will definitely make a statement when you walk in Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons - painting 419Feb 01, 2018 6:22 pm Holy sheep. We had a near miss today. I get a Call from my painter telling me that the paint selection ghosting for bedrooms looks crap. Anyway turned out he was right. The colour samples I did were not big enough to get a sense for the colour. Needed 1mx1m sample to get a feel for it. Anyway ended up diluting the wall colour in bedrooms to half strength and looks much better phew. Few pics of samples . A bit hard to see due to light shadows but the half colour is the top half.

Paint colours are so difficult to get right. They always look different large scale and depending on the light. I've been stressing big time about it, and we found that a lot of the colours we initially tested were too dark once we painted two coats. Hence we are going half strength also. Our 37sq Custom Hamptons Inspired Home: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=86931 So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next… 8 32171 Thanks again for this information. If you do hear anything different, would be great to know 4 8446 dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 7694 |
