no bitterness of course.

GRAND!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This left the study rather narrow, so I definitely went crazy here. .. took 200mm from the entire front of the house. . . ended up taking the space from the courtyard, dining, space in between study and kitchen, and family room. . . extended the family room and deck to the north to give the extra space back to the family room. I figure that some won't like the coat cupboard being behind the front door, but this could be the cupboard that is left closed all the time! Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 654Apr 25, 2012 11:49 am I like your long window T! Opaque? Yep, there are sooo many things to consider, feng shui, cross-ventilation, personal tastes, wants and needs, what jodge thinks is best. . . SO MANY THINGS!!! Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 655Apr 25, 2012 1:12 pm I said to block those hall doors to study too.... with the table lamps and stuff...does no one read my posts!!! anyway, lets see if she likes it, she didnt comment when I had stuck a hall table there... (and a full bathroom, and a store cupboard...lets just go back 5 pages and re look shall we, oh, yes ...totally ignored!!) I think I like 3 or 4. you can sit on the loo, while the kids are in the bath. Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 656Apr 25, 2012 1:18 pm kiwi ok I took plan B and changed a couple of things.. coming home looking into a messy study with only one doable wall..ARGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH it would depress me, so I have made it have 2 usable walls and a fantastic entry table with the most stunning lamp ever and the most gorgeous mirror above NOT like this!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I like to come in and see a calm entry. just my thing. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ nice I like having a smaller WIR in master for his clothes and a bigger for mine. I hate getting ready with us both in the same area...again, just my thing. he gets in my way, as I am trying to dress, and he stares! I would like having a small 'linen/store' for suitcases, christmas tree etc. although we have a pull down loft ladder for the space in the roof that we use, (we put plywood up there before the ceiling went up..so we can use that space for storing everything ) , so you could have that too, instead of using this room for those things, you could use this room as a toy storage room ( we have a toy cupboard / shared coats at the front door, now my kids are older. I still want to keep the good toys and need somewhere easy to access etc) I have given you a coat cupboard down the hall, you know you have rain...store the brolly in it etc the bathroom has a thin wall between loo and bath, or you could have a half wall..but I think a full is nicer,, cant be seeing them while in the bath! a window above loo and one above bath..lots of light. extend the kids bedroom to give you that step thing, although a valley in the roof is big bucks..$2000 each valley, so be aware of that extra expense. I do like planfans dining room...nice for alfresco etc Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ oh, now there is a surprise...sunshine mentions a full bathroom and one set of doors into the study and you all think she is FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 658Apr 25, 2012 1:22 pm I do believe...it was. page 28, to be precise. so there everyone I am not put out in any way shape or form.................. going to take my dolls and go home now.. Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 659Apr 25, 2012 1:23 pm HAHAHAHA! You cancelled out all the good stuff when you posted this: http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx190/Shoppe1454/100_4894.jpg Too much of a distraction. . . people had to move forward from this and try to forget it! Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 660Apr 25, 2012 1:32 pm noted, no more examples of what NOT to have, if I want to be taken seriously... http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx190/Shoppe1454/100_4896.jpg Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17511 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10404 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9559 |
