Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 44May 02, 2018 8:58 pm Good luck with the appointments. Will be interested to hear how you go. We've got a Preview booked at Studio/M in a week, have already been there on a few Saturdays to do some pre-homework. Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 45May 02, 2018 9:10 pm thanks r_13, we have been there once for a wander and chosen a few things already. But I highly recommend going to Reece to do your plumbing accessories and Beaumont for tiles before M appointments. Studio M just doesn’t have much of a selection of either on hand (understandably as they have to cover so many categories for an entire house). Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 46May 02, 2018 9:59 pm Enjoy the selection appointments, they're long days but very rewarding Also best of luck with sticking to your budget, alot of temptations. We were doing so well in ours, then got to the end and wifey decided to drop $7k on upgrading stairs to timber :\ absolute curveball haha Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 47May 02, 2018 10:31 pm Oh yeah the stairs.... $7k upgrade already in our quote! Lol Bit worried about all our Reece plumbing selections and the 600 x 600 tiles. not sure what they will all cost thru M yet 🤨 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 48May 03, 2018 9:31 pm Can you please post a link to "things you forget" thread. shokel1975 So we are finally getting some dates locked in for M appointments.... going to be asking lots of babysitting favours from the grandparents!! 20 May: prelim contract presentation and additional changes - they won’t know what hit them thanks to this forum!! 26 May: external colours 30 May: internal colours 2 June: electrical We pretty much know most of what we want to choose at these appointments but have so many questions to ask to double check M on everything. The ‘things you forget’ thread on here has given us so much to consider and check. They are going to be so glad when our appointments are over! haha!

Ended up costing us an extra $120 by the time the standard sink was credited back. Actually cheaper than buying it ourselves Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 53May 04, 2018 2:42 pm That’s a great win Drew! Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 54May 07, 2018 12:05 pm We have recently been to Beaumont Tiles and we think we have made most of our selections, but still trying to decide between two options for the upstairs main bathroom and ensuite..... Any suggestions would be great! So throughout most of downstairs, we are going with a neutral light 600 x 600 tile. We are not sure if we should use this in the upstairs wet areas, on both floor and walls (with maybe a feature tile around mirrors).... as follows - with Beaumont virtual Tile Select image to show how it would look... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Or, do we go with the following option for just the bathrooms, which has a different floor and wall tile, with no feature tiles around mirrors.... concrete look for floors and a warm grey tile for walls....

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 56May 07, 2018 12:13 pm r_13 I really like the second one! thanks r_13, I think the 2nd option is a lot warmer! But in saying that, for the first option, the virtual tool online doesn't allow me to put in a feature tile behind the mirror on the Beaumont site, so in reality it wouldn't look as stark as it does above. I think I will push hubby to go with option 2 - then we don't have to think about a feature tile, as it would be too busy adding another tile to the room. Thanks for your feedback! Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 57May 07, 2018 1:43 pm I like the concrete look, but you should be mindful that it may become dated. The simple colours and tones never go out of vogue, and you can always dress a room up and down with linen. We considered concrete look tiles throughout our downstairs, but realised that if it stops being trendy, we'll walk in one day and hate it. We're also getting our tiling done in non-wet areas after handover - it's a significant saving Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 58May 07, 2018 1:50 pm Drew01 I like the concrete look, but you should be mindful that it may become dated.

We're also getting our tiling done in non-wet areas after handover - it's a significant saving Thanks Drew, I hear you re the tiles dating. So we will only consider it in the two bathrooms plus toilet - I don't think I could handle it right throughout the house! Definitely a significant saving to do flooring afterwards, but we have decided just to do carpet afterwards, as I can get it through our suppliers directly. I work for head office of a flooring company. Will just suck it up and get the tiles done by M, so we don't have to worry about doing all the flooring afterwards... Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 59May 07, 2018 3:58 pm Yeah I love option 2 right now but have same views as drew. You never can go wrong with neutral colors. Will option 2 date, probably not for a long while though, so I would run with your gut. If you don’t put your touch in certain areas it’s not going to be what YOU exactly want. Good luck Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 60May 07, 2018 4:12 pm stoff17 Yeah I love option 2 right now but have same views as drew.

If you don’t put your touch in certain areas it’s not going to be what YOU exactly want. Good luck That's a great way of thinking Stoff, we do need to put our own touches. I don't want everything to be neutral and 'sterile'. Beaumont told us the concrete floor tile is one of their most popular tiles. Hopefully it doesn't date too quickly. thanks!
