You must be so pleased with the progress this week. Mustn't be long to go now Re: Our House Our Home...30/5 UPDATE...Tile Progress!!! 131Jun 05, 2009 5:53 pm Hey MM... Yeah we were so worried about the mosaic's but we are very happy with them.. Re: Our House Our Home...30/5 UPDATE...Tile Progress!!! 133Jun 05, 2009 8:32 pm Really nice layout..i like the open spaces...and especially the double wirs. Usually you only see that in the master bedroom...and the spa....great choice Re: Our House Our Home...30/5 UPDATE...Tile Progress!!! 134Jun 05, 2009 10:35 pm Its all looking great LDG!! I cant belive they have done so much with the tiling, your house is progressing really quickly!! Also, can you please let me know how long your island bench is? It looks very nice. Can I also ask why you chose this layout as appose to the other 'gallery' kitchen layout on offer? It would be interesting to hear the reasoning behind some of your choices, which are great by the way Idiots are fun, that's why there is one in every village! - Dr. House - Re: Our House Our Home...30/5 UPDATE...Tile Progress!!! 135Jun 06, 2009 6:10 pm wonderland Its all looking great LDG!!

It would be interesting to hear the reasoning behind some of your choices, which are great by the way LDG, nice tile choices - really spectacular and eye catching!! wonderland, we built the same house but in 36 sq version, and Ill try answer your questions.. We chose the L shape layout because we didnt want a sink/stove on the island because of safety and cleanliness problems (water splashing when washing dishes etc), didnt want interior/exterior access to kitchen, preferred to have a timber bifold window (not door), a bare island bench and sink/stove not opposite each other. Our island is 2.1metres by 1 metre wide. I would like the big galley bench, but really didnt like the idea of having a sink in the middle. Besides, the galley looks better with the undermount sink, but this to me is inconvenient and there for the style only... So having the sink on the side hides it in a way.. AND I know Im rambling on, but having a bare island bench can almost be another dining table if you will!! Your building the Pagoda arent ya? Are you going for stove or sink on your island? Or neither?? Built the Atlantique 37 Mk2 with Carlisle Homes - WE'RE IN!!

Think it may have been a reflection making it look green. I love the tile pattern in the bathroom. really soothing Re: Our House Our Home...30/5 UPDATE...Tile Progress!!! 137Jun 06, 2009 10:17 pm Thanks Blessedpeople... I know i cannot wait for the spa!!! Hey wonderland..thanks a lot Yeah we could not believe how quick the tiles went down we expected so have maybe half done but i would say they were 97% done without grout!!! I cant remember the size of the bench but i am pretty sure its the same as S&P's or a slight bit smaller...We chose this layout as we were not fans of the bifold onto the alfresco look which incidentally i dont think you can have that look in the 32sq only in the 36sq. We too loved the timber serving window but that was too top $$$ for our liking...and we too prefer having the seperate bench and sink. We would like the bench to be a place to gather on not washup on Hey S&P..Thanks my wife will be pleased to hear your comments... she keeps asking me how you guys are going and hows your house!!! and thanks for your rambling it helped in the answers Hey MM... The tiles in the powder are called pewter (silver) and they are a mirror look but not if you know what i mean? they do reflect but it is a distorted reflect. the green comes from the flash... Yeah we love the bathroom one too... its fresh it reminds me of mint but i think my favourite is the black in the ensuite i cant wait to see it with white grout... it should really stand out Re: Our House Our Home...30/5 UPDATE...Tile Progress!!! 138Jun 07, 2009 12:00 am No probs LDG, the house is great. Ill get onto posting photos ASAP, once the deckings done and the furntiure delivered. But loving the house!!! Youll love yours, its stunning!

I think both options looks good. I like the idea of a long island bench and the bifolds that connects the alfresco to kitchen/dinning. But then I also like the idea of bifold windows and clear island bench. Thanks guys for letting me know Salt&Pepper Your building the Pagoda arent ya? Are you going for stove or sink on your island? Or neither?? We decided to move the stove to the wall instead of the island bench because like you, we dont like to have anything on our island bench. The sink will remain near the window as standard. We have heard that there is a new rule with CH now. Apparently now, people are not able to change the kitchen layouts anymore. Meaning that they wont be able to move the location of the stove from island bench to wall bench. I think it sux that they've changed the rules!

I anticipate the home will be handed… 0 2 Your house should come in "as new" condition. It should be clean, and without stains 1 11638 |
