Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 25, 2010 9:52 pm Hi Everyone and welcome to my thread!

We received our finalised copies of contruction drawings yesterday so it's all downhill from here!!!!

Are you doing feature tiles in the bathroom and ensuite or just running the same colours up the walls as well as the floor? I quite like the simple look, our initial plan was the same tile everywhere but now decided to use the floor colour up the shower wall in the ensuite and over the bath in the bathroom and use a plain white tile elsewhere in those rooms. The feature tile when you don't really have a feature tile Oh and good luck with the DIY render You're very brave - I'm such a scaredy cat about that sort of thing Re: Flagstaff IV Build Thread 4May 27, 2010 10:45 pm Uhhh... Thanks Dilla! Feeling the love! Yes we're doing a small feature border underneath our mirrors in the ensuite and bathroom. I leave my camera cord at my parents place so I'll have to show you tomorrow~!

That's a really pretty colour Flaggie Are you doing a horizontal or vertical strip? That would work either way, wouldn't it That's the beauty of a great tile - you can do so much with it I can tell already that I'm going to love your place - everything I've seen so far is great Have any of your neighbours started or finished building yet, or are you the first in your area?

Uhhhh Thank you! You are too sweet Just a vertical strip directly underneath the mirrors in our bathrooms. Couldn't afford much else really... It already cost us $2500 to fully tile the entry, dining and lounge area, so I limited myself as much as I could... booo hooo Allthough... This would have looked awesome!

They are going to make my house look like a little school girl. There are a couple of us PD people building all at the same time so I guess we'll all be third together Re: Flagstaff IV Build Thread 13May 28, 2010 11:05 pm Deemaree Yay pics! You've got a nice vibe happening there Flaggie! Have you got photos of your colour selections throughout the house? Deeeeeeerrrr me! Should've answered your question properly... I stupidly didn't take any pictures while I was at the Colour Selections place. I thought I had all my colours planned out and then the rep said to go with different colours... and then I changed my mind and went with what I have now... Should've just went with my instincts!
