Display home floor plan Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our plan Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Soooooo the changes We made the entrance wider and forgot to add increased the height of the ceiling of the entrance with a blukhead. So below our lovely chandelier First of all the Main bedroom we made the ensuite bigger, so in turn made the wir bigger. We have it full decked out. The long bit is all mine and short bit is Troys hahahaha i joke. But I love it we got soooo much put in there Coming from the garage we have changed that, as we wanted a walk in pantry so from the entrance you will see the wall jutting out and we will put a mirror or something on that bit. Would love to have a fire there but not sure if that would be possible..... then either side benches where we may put vases or something there..... the kitchen is very different.... See pics for what we are going for... different shade of laminate ours is a bit darker. We are also going for the dark mirror that they have with stone benchtops (see below for our selections) Photo is shocking will try and get a better one Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We have added the alfresco.... your next question could be why didnt we want to extend it further, we wanted that area open to put our bbq instead of having it all under roof. Bedroom 3 is quite small so we made that bigger Re: Golden Grove, Jessica Ashbourne 17Apr 04, 2010 12:11 am You're also using the stopsol grey (black mirror) splashbacks? We have ordered that for ours - should look STUNNING! I'm hoping that we're only 6-8 weeks from handover, so hopefully we will have the splashback in soon and can put up some nice pics for you to demonstrate what you're having =) I love the changes that you have made to your plan. Very clever redesign of the kitchen - the pantry is awesome AND adds interest to the lounge behind it by sectioning that wall. It will look awesome with a nice mirror or something in there. Lots of prep space on your kitchen benches too =) Well done! Nice amount of storage in the laundry, too. Great work on replacing the laundry sliding door - I'm amazed that so many companies insist on putting them into laundries with either a trough or washing machine up along side it wasting the window space anyways! Seems very little point when a glass hinged door and/ord a window would suffice and perform better (and require less cleaning of tracks!). For someone so young you have really got things figured out nicely. It takes most people YEARS of living in and cleaning their own houses to figure out that type of usability and design efficiency. Yay you =) I hope that it all happens really quickly for you. Ours feels like it's really dragging on at the moment! Re: Golden Grove, Jessica Ashbourne 18Apr 04, 2010 12:16 am Sooooo here is the exciting bits
Front of the house, at the moment we are having caffe latte bricks and paperbark render on the portico. If it doesnt looks right we will render the front of the house afterwards. we were torn and we were set on full render until I saw a house on Clinker CCT and they only had the portico rendered and loved it Caffe Latte Tiles, can't remember the mortar I will have to look up my notes and white sand over it http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/caffelatte.jpg Roof tiles. Ebony shingle http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/rooftiles.jpg Porcelain tiles, but we are having 60x60. This is my parents carpet, we are having brown but quite a bit darker http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/DSC00986.jpg Chandelier for the front entrance, as we have a raised ceiling http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/chandelier.jpg The bathroom selections, we have gone very simple and I am going to add red and dark brown by our lovely towels that we have already brought. Me organised.... never So this is the ensuite and Main bathroom http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/DSC00988.jpg We have paid a deposit on the couch from Nick Scali, one three seater and one two seater. That is to go into the lounge. Still need to find a right couch for the Home Ent. Troy keeps on choosing hideous stuff coz he says its comfortable.....yes I am all for comfortable but it has to be aestetically pleasing as well So.... I think we will wait for that til we move in. http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/austin.jpg Loved this table since forever. http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/pronto.jpg Chairs that we will get http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/Phillip.jpg Our lamps, got about 6 or 8 I think http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/lamps.jpg Kitchen This is the look we are going for http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/kitchen.jpg We chose Shannon Oak, we wanted something a bit darker http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz164/jessie87_2010/shannonoak.jpg Stone that we are going for in the Kitchen and Main Bathroom and Ensuite Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Sinks, 2 in the Ensuite and one in the Main Bathroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Now I know many people may not get EXCITED about taps..... But I am. Loved em, gotta have em, Troy tried and talked me out of them coz of $$$$$ but as I said gotta have em The range is throughout the whole house Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So overall, we are going quite nuetral but we will add red to accessories, like towels, cushions and we have the most awesome old fashion modern kettle. ooooh I will have to pst that as well and awesome red cookie jars. Ok.... you may think I am CRAZY Re: Golden Grove, Jessica Ashbourne 19Apr 04, 2010 12:25 am somewoman You're also using the stopsol grey (black mirror) splashbacks?

Yes it is absolutely adorable I love the mirror and will add sooo much to the kitchen. It will really finish it off I hope yours is going well. I have been reading on your progress Yeh.... I have to admit Troy my fiance helped me alot with it and he has been WONDERFUL. He truly is great and I am soooooo lucky to have him. We will use the kitchen bench on the other side as a breakfast bar as well. So when we have kiddies while I am getting things organised they can have breakfast Yes exactly and we are going to put our doggy door there eventually Thanks. We went to alot of people about the floor plan in the short amount of time. Coz I am still living with my parents and him living with his it is good to see peoples opinions and what they would change about there house so we have tried to think of everything. I am sure once we get in we would like to change a few things but we think we have got it pretty much what we wanted oh all we see is frames and bricks. Nathaniel who is building south with Fairmonts had his slab laid three days before and they are already bricking. We dont even have a frame up. Oh well.... the longer they take the more money it is saving us.... I try and keep on telling that to myself but gosh its hard....
