The one that didn't had all the bedrooms together at the back so we went with the alfresco and separate minor bedrooms. The other similar blocks in our area have a double garage so we were worried if we didn't have one we would disadvantage ourselves down the track. I love what you've managed to get in your block! We were worried not having a second living area and small minor bedrooms but at the moment it is just us and if we are lucky to have kids hoping we can upgrade or build up by the time we need the space! Which colour essa stone have you picked? We had one chosen but after looking at displays have changed our mind (going for one with smaller stone chips!) Looking forward to watching your build! Re: Our small build (NOR WA) 12Nov 04, 2012 10:58 pm Just went back and read your post and I think we will have a very similar kitchen! Your essa stone is one of the two we are now deciding between! Just not sure we can get the gloss finish on the cabinets! We have the same plan, keep it light and bright and hopefully it will feel bigger and not date as quickly! Re: Our small build (NOR WA) 13Nov 04, 2012 10:59 pm Looks pretty spacious despite the size of the block, well done! Pearsall is a great suburb, close enough to CBD and coast and fwy. We considered it but wanted something coastal and bigger, so we chose Butler. Definitely need lots of bedrooms as we hope to have at least one more child (we've currently got two).

We were lucky enough to get gloss cupboards as a standard otherwise I would doubt if we could afford the upgrade And yes, I agree with you in regards to the dating. So many houses I see date so quickly and go out of fashion fast. I hope we are both on the right track Our first home... viewtopic.php?f=31&t=60460 Land Dep paid 26/2/12 Site cleared7/12/12 Slab 20/12/12 Frame 25/1/13 Bricks 19/2/13 Re: Our small build (NOR WA) 15Nov 04, 2012 11:06 pm Turtleschell: you build looks great I've checked it out! We don't have any Kids yet so hoping this build will suit us for the next 5 years at least, only planning one but you never know! We currently rent in Mount Hawthorn so the move to pearsall will be a big change! But I grew up in the area so know it well. I remember when I used to be picked on for living in the sticks when I grew up in edgewater! I remember before joondalup was there and those who lived further north did so because the worked up that way. I am hoping to get a job in the area in the near future! Hope your build goes well! We are happy to have bought a titled lot!! One less thing to wait for! Re: Our small build (NOR WA) 16Nov 05, 2012 2:55 pm Haha yes I remember when I was in highschool and we met these cute 'country boys' from MERRIWA! We would wait for weekends when they'd come down to Perth!! ROFL!

Have decided on the tiles, unless we change our mind. I am going to try and post photos, can you let me know if they work, they look fine on the preview and then seem to not work! Main Bathroom and Ensuite, opal dark grey for the floor, fashion white for the walls, New Crystal Salt tops (were having these throughout) and Asphatt formica for the cabinets. Kitchen (white!) the New Crystal Salt bench, Polar white cabinets and we need to get the glass tiles costed (they look brown but they are grey), if they are too expensive we are going with a white gloss tile thats 100x400 The Laundry, we want to get a built in costed if we can it will be the same cabinet and bench as the kitchen. We have gone with lighter tiles, as it is off the kitchen, it looks a little brown but is light grey. The wall tile behind the laundry sink will be the narrow white tile we might have as the kitchen splash back. We have also almost picked the flooring, we are going with the vinyl plank rather then tiles. below are the three colours (all very similar and an example of what it should look like) Now so many other choices still to go, assuming we don't change our minds! Re: Our small build (NOR WA) - finance approved!! 18Nov 15, 2012 7:08 pm We were notified today that we became the official owners of the block at lunch time today. Now two weeks to make the last of the decisions before prestart, like the layout of the kitchen!! We're hoping the building will start early next year!
