Totally wasn't expecting it either. We only went to check out the paint and sure enough the stone! Suppose they needed it in before the tilers come in. Tilers should be about a week or so away and I guess all is go, go, go from then on. We have slowly started to look at furniture but now focusing on the exterior stuff like what finish for driveway, alfresco and entrance. Probably go with aggregate. I really want to start gardening but limited to the back area at the moment. Re: Dollarz House 13Mar 11, 2010 10:56 pm I have a feeling our tiles may be at the house!!! Fingers crossed. Going to have a peak tomorrow! More to stress about and whether the laying of the tiles works out well. Re: Dollarz House 14Mar 16, 2010 8:06 pm Tiling started today!!!! Yippee! Looks like they should be finished by end of the week! They have started in all wet areas including the kitchen! I'm excited but a little sad too as I know nothing new will be happening soon and we would have moved in. Then only the gardening to complete. Garage doors up. Will add more pics to my blog! Portico is underway! It's been a fun, stressful and it's all coming to a happy end. Re: Dollarz Houseupdated with new photos 15Mar 31, 2010 10:02 pm As promised I have been really slack with posting photos and keeping my blog up to date. I've been so busy. I'm not sure how I feel about the bathroom and laundry and WRC but I am thinking we may change it and carry the black theme through. WRC deliberately not done in dark colours in order for the solid timber grey ironbark floors to be the feature not the cabinets etc. Main bathroom I am not convinced yet. It's not that I don't like it I think it's more the way the colour schemes make me feel. I don't know what I would have changed them too if we had another chance and maybe carrying the black through would make the house too 'heavy'. Laundry wall may paint a red colour or maybe a grey and same for the main bathroom. Facade isn't finished yet. This was the hardest to do. Kept changing our minds all the time as to the type of materials to be used. Here's a few pictures anyway as I feel a bit guilty not posting any regularly and absorbing everyone elses photos. Kitchen. I love the tiles. I don't care if I need to scrub them everyday to ensure their cleanliness. Initially did want slumped glass splash back but wanted more of a tile feature in the end.

Love all the pics! OMG your kitchen looks AMAZING! I love how the splashback is so bold, yet makes the room look so awesome! Re: Dollarz House...photos-kitchen-ensuite....etc 31.03.2010 18Apr 01, 2010 9:41 am I love the kitchen too. Thanks. Other half complains the kitchen is too big but I believe you can never have one big enough. Aggregate is getting done today I believe. Spoke to the concrete guy they other day and we saw a big pile of cement/rock stuff yesterday. Re: Dollarz House...photos-kitchen-ensuite....etc 31.03.2010 20Apr 09, 2010 10:45 pm Aggregate has started! Yippee!
