Re: Ideal Homes WA - Hammond Park 14Jan 10, 2021 9:40 pm Sal_sa_by Hi All, Time for me to start a thread for my new home in Hammond Park WA. I am building with Ideal Homes and as of now I have completed and paid prestart, awaiting final plan sign off before applying for the land developer and local council's approval. I have posted my proposed design on here previously and received some criticism. Ultimately the house design works for my lifestyle so I am not interested in feedback on the layout. So this is the block: [img:1llbxh8a]https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/95941_1600870479.png[/img:1llbxh8a] Its a small 7.5m frontage 206sqm block that overlooks this cute park. Perfect for my Lil dog and me. Here are my tile selections: [img:1llbxh8a]https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/95941_1600870725.JPG[/img:1llbxh8a] Charcoal for the floors in the bathrooms, laundry and powder room Off white for the walls in bathrooms, laundry and powder room Marble hexagon tile for the Kitchen splashback, bathroom shower niches (both ensuite and main) [img:1llbxh8a]https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/95941_1600870850.JPG[/img:1llbxh8a] Charcoal Aluminium Venetians - its a starter, can always change later.
