Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Dream Home 310Mar 04, 2008 11:06 pm I just spoke to our cabinet maker and he told me that to change from white melamine to dark melamine or a timber look will cost approx $300 (only charging for different materials rather than labour) for our WIR (based on the same one as Ladyice's) which is 2640 x 3560. just thought that might help anyone negotiating with their builder.

Helen That'll depend on the layout of your WIR, assuming if you have more shelves/partitions the cost would increase.

Everyone's asking to change their wardrobe. I told hubby and he just rolled his eyes (men just don't get the importance of a nice WIR) Is that wallpaper on the roof of your robe? Where did you get it from? I am having a hard time finding nice paper in Brisbane and am now thinking I might have to order it from interstate. Jet Re: Our Dream Home 313Mar 05, 2008 11:22 am Hi Ladyice,
I know the answer is here in this thread (tried to find it several times ) but where did you get the butlers sink in the laundry. I have got to have one!!!!!!! Makes the laundry room look special. Now, MrB will have no say in this because I am not going to tell him( that and the abbey sink worth $1800 that I just have to have...and the wood ward drobe fit out) Thanks Mrs B more pictures please Re: Our Dream Home 314Mar 05, 2008 2:55 pm Hi dna...
May I ask what did you do for the wardrobes in the other bedrooms? We're considering a mix of white for the horizontal surface and laminates/veneers for the verticals in the WIR to save costs but nothing has been decided on as yet.[/quote] It was too late to change the other wardrobes..the variation costs were more than the color change so we are stuck with white shelves...

Helen hey $300 is not bad at all...I hope I have started a positive trend to NOT have a white wardrobe ..just tell hubby the money can either go towards a Louis Vuitton bag or to a beautiful wardrobe with a little corner for him!

That should be an easy answer.... it sure is wallpaper on the ceiling...I got it from a place called Grant Dorman..I am pretty sure they deliver interstate....the wallpaper brand is Eiffingger....
