Welcome to the forum without a doubt you will find it very useful! We certainly have Two changes that DF and I made that I thought I'll mention were 1) putting the manhole in the garage and 2) getting a broom area put into the laundry cupboard for brooms, mop and vacuum.

I love your selections, they remind me a lot of ours as we went for blacks and greys too. We used the straight black laminex on all of our cupboards and I love it! The only complaint I have is that it's not the easiest to keep clean, finger marks show up wherever you touch and it can be quite streaky when you try and wipe them off. But I've found a microfibre cloth and windex works well Your choices will look fantastic together, don't doubt them. If you would like to see photos of my house and the similar colours, feel free to have a look at my thread Kayla Re: Building our first home - DREAM HOME - Madora Bay - SINK 7Dec 06, 2012 9:03 pm Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for making me feel welcome - I am very excited to be a part of it and share our experiences! Kaylah - love your house and love the fact that dark colours look awesome in the kitchen and bathrooms. You have totally pink my mind at ease with the choices we have made. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with tempered glass sinks? I am interested in purchasing this sink: http://www.novetec.com.au/product.asp?brandID=184&productID=1576 I am wondering if this would scratch or age really quickly??

These are the things I am looking at for the kitchen currently: Induction Cooktop [/url]http://www.harveynorman.com.au/smeg-cm-induction-cooktop.html[url] or http://www.harveynorman.com.au/westinghouse-90cm-induction-cooktop.html or http://www.harveynorman.com.au/fisher-paykel-cm-induction-cooktop-2.html Does anyone have any of these cooktops? This is the first induction I am buying and want to make sure I am not limited by pot size or different items that I may be cooking at the same time. Kitchen Sink - has not changed from previous post - saw it at the display centre and love it!!!http://www.novetec.com.au/PDFs/Blaq%20Sinkware%20Brochure_web.pdf Kitchen Sink Mixer http://www.appliancewarehouse.com.au/p- ... mixer.aspx I have now added a Basin into our Main WC - love the idea of washing hands before coming out of toilet! WC - Hand Basin Has anyone installed this sink? If so, do it have much splash back because of the angle of the slope? We are looking to install a mixer onto it. Please advise anything you can think of guys - it is all very helpful!

Re: Building our first home - DREAM HOME - Madora Bay 12Jan 14, 2013 7:57 pm Hi englewestern, Welcome to the joys of building. Content have lovely designs and I reckon they are also great value for money. Very spacious too!! I believe our future neighbours who have recently finished their content have a very similar design to yours. Keep us posted, looking forward to following. Re: Building our first home - DREAM HOME - Madora Bay 13Jan 14, 2013 8:07 pm Your sink is divine! I haven't had an induction cooktop before so I don't know much about them other than you need certain types of pots and pans which are expensive.

I am driving myself crazy trying to get the perfect house!! When is enough enough When you've run out of cash or the bank loan is beyond your capabilities??? Haha On a serious note, keep some reserves as you'll be surprised how much you are going to end up spending finishing everything off. Budgets are meant to be broken when you're building or is that just my experience? Re: Building our first home - DREAM HOME - Madora Bay 18Jan 19, 2013 8:42 pm It's a tough battle that you face with yourself and your hip pocket. Your eyes do shopping that your wallet just can't cash in! I say keep going until you get blisters from reaching in the pocket too often It's your dream!

Re: Building our first home - DREAM HOME - Madora Bay 20Jan 19, 2013 10:52 pm Hmmmm. I've never had a pp in a WIR. Not quite sure what you'd need it for. Unless it was huge and you were putting a dressing table in there and needed an outlet for a hair dryer or GHD or something!
