Lots of grey though. Potupay - Smart waste - still don't get it, so yes please do post pics! Nina - my MIL said same thing about not going too small. Thing is, I don't want to pay $1000 for a pendant. Going out there today so will ask if they can get the smaller one in so I can have a look. Potupay / Gogo - Danny is very Zen, very laid back with paperwork I took our plans (which I had already colour coded) and a list of tiles we needed to select. We wrote on the plans then I asked him to photo copy them (he has a photocopier in his office). I said I wanted to type up the tile selections list and we were going to email him, but then we popped back in the afternoon as I wanted to check that glazed internal tile (still not 100% even though DH loves it), so before we went back I typed up the list. DH also did some 3D computer drawings of the walls etc. so we could indicate which tile where. Gave it all to him and got him to photocopy it. Dilemma - having minor double guessing about our bathroom/laundry niche. We are having soft grey tiles on floor and shower walls, the rest white. The vanity is white and the stone top is near white (White Swirl). So I was wondering if that was all getting a bit cold / bland and was thinking maybe I could buy a nice feature tile for the niche???? Currently we have the niche as being just white (with the soft grey tile wall around it). Very clean, but wondering if it is too boring?????

I dont think cold or bland, but personally would probably keep the niche the same colour as the shower walls if you have different colour bathroom walls. But that's just me. How much of a contrast is there between the soft grey and the white - how soft is soft?!!

Yes, I think I will indeed need to do this... (although the big one would have to be dramatically better than the smaller one to justify paying twice the amount...)

But that's just me. How much of a contrast is there between the soft grey and the white - how soft is soft?!! Very interesting, MIL said exactly the same thing this morning too And MIL has an eye for these things as do you ... Soft? Gentle grey but definitely a contrast. damn, should have taken photos. Might see if I can pop back today (as I do want to check out any feature tile). This 3D drawing below might make more sense. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the bathroom corner with the shower and bath. The shading is a little confusing, but essentially the floor and shower walls will be the same soft grey. The other walls and around the bath will be white. I was thinking of white in the shower niche... or maybe a nice shiny feature tile? nina, seeing this drawing do you still think same grey on the shower walls as the niche? Others?

Looks quite smart I think. This is what we are having in our build. http://www.iplex.com.au/iplex.php?page=lib&lib=18&sec=119 My Knock down and Rebuild thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=54685 Our Building Blog http://ourknockdownrebuild.blogspot.com.au/ Re: SunshineT's Build: pendants 2453Jul 01, 2012 10:41 am T, I don't think you need to worry about the drain as you are having the long grate drains aren't you? Do you have two floor waste drains on your bathroom floor? Two of our bathrooms only have the long grate drain the other two have the smart drain and grate drain, just double check if you need them. In regards to your pendant how big is it? I agree it could be too small dependent on size. As for niche, in our ensuite we kept it the same in the other two we used contrasting but that was against white tiles. Get a sample and take it to a few tile shops and see if there is a mosaic in the same grey tones, that way you could add interest without it standing out. We had to supply our own mosaics, so if you wanted one you can pretty much pick from anywhere! I will send a photo of our smart waste to DH's phone if you want I'm at the house now! Re: SunshineT's Build: pendants 2454Jul 01, 2012 10:49 am You could go for 3 smaller pendant lights in the stairwell . I like Tim Whiteman's protea pendant lights and they would look stunning in your open stairwell. 2010, June : Land bought (1700sqm, battleaxe block). That's it so far! We're in the design phase ....

Use low wattage bulbs? Ah well, there 's an idea for someone else. Re: SunshineT's Build: pendants 2457Jul 01, 2012 11:01 am I don't think we are getting floorwaste in the bathrooms as we have overflow on the sinks and baths, unless I misunderstood the builder? We will get one in the laundry because of the washing mashine (in case it ever leaks). https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: SunshineT's Build: pendants 2458Jul 01, 2012 11:02 am I thought of that after I posted!

Re: SunshineT's Build: pendants 2460Jul 01, 2012 2:11 pm Yes as GoGo said a mosaic in the same grey tones would be nice in the niche (love how your beige mosaic niche came out GoGo, and really like the tiles in the mosaic, different shapes and sizes).
