When I had all the samples in front of him occasionally he used the words “hmmm” and “I’m not sure” so I worked harder to make him understand what I meant... I am the 3D visualiser - I did scketches before going to pre-start to make sure we understand how is going to look and for the builder to understand what we want... I had sketches for every side of the bathroom and ensuite... - had comments on the original plans inserted using Adobe pro and had the electrical plans all changed with our requirements before going to the pre-start Just a sample of my madness...

Your selections look lovely - especially love your tile selections. This thread - bookmarked! Re: Bagheera's new pad - DAH 13Apr 15, 2010 8:44 pm Bagheera I have to admit I did take some ideas from your thread - I'm getting the vanity benchtops in Creaser stone with 200mm fascia and semi-recessed basins and you know what? I was thinking to move the basins away from the side walls but I was concerned they were not aligning with the doors - then I noticed that your basins are slightly offset from the centre of the doors and looked quite ok - so thanks for the inspiration... :) You must be so happy with how the house turned out... it’s a gorgeous home – can’t wait to see it all painted and with the floor boards... how exciting... Thankyou for the compliment Really looking forward to our timber and carpets now!! Built "The Manor" with Ventura We have an ocean view....IF WE STAND ON OUR TIPPY TOES!!

Re: Bagheera's new pad - DAH 15Apr 15, 2010 10:43 pm Hi Bagheera, your house if going to look really nice when its finished. Love the colours you've chosen. I would have liked the nougat caesarstone in our kitchen but DP didn't like it, so we're going with Walnut instead.

We were thinking to use walnut in our bathrooms with a white but changed our minds when we discovered the new Whisper as is suited us better. Walnut is a very nice colour - you will be very happy with the result.

Our stone was part of a package and so we only had a limited choice of colours, Osprey, Nougat, Urban and Walnut. I didn't like urban and because Dp didn't like nougat, our choice was then limited to only 2. DP also didn't want to go with a light cloured benchtop because he was concerned about it staining - he cooks a lot of curries (mmmm yummy), so the walnut ended up being our only option. Anyway, I think it'll look great when its done - can't wait!

This wasn't a standard colour with our builder but an upgrade. this photo was taken in the tile shop with the flash light - doesn't quite capture the real colour but it gives you an idea.

Good to see your plan, bloody huge house thats for sure!!! Awesome selections as well, really like your colours and actually similar to mine in some respects. Look forward to following your build Cheers, Re: Bagheera's new pad - DAH 20Apr 18, 2010 11:36 am Oh the Whisper looks much nicer in your pics than it does on the caesarstone website.
