Your house is looking sooooooo good!! We have just bought a DFH house that was finished about 20 months ago. The living area is the same layout as yours - kitchen at the end of the dining/living, window splash back, pantry in the same spot, etc... It's so nice to see all the exciting building action that we missed out on! The only down side is that we can't choose our own colours. I LOVE your pantry doors - and I'm sure my other half is going to love it when I suggest changing our doors to something similar! Am definitely going to be watching your build from now on and seeing all the stuff that would have happened at our house as it was being built!

Everything is looking so good, I love your ensuite, the tiles and basins are gorgeous Thanks Barb...I do love the ensuite tiles. I wish I had them for the other bathroom as well Kaytee Hi Dearhouse, Is there a pot of gold under that rainbow or just your nice new house. Everything is looking great. You must be so happy. Kay I am Kay Can't wait to live in our pot of gold! herbiecat *sigh* house is gorgeous! I love your tiles and your ensuite vanities and of course I still love your pantry doors. I love your front door too, very nice stain colour. Thanks Herbie! I had to go back to DFH for the stain colour - was not able to specify it during colour consultation. Lucky they still said yes but SS said it's too late to change anything now so that is THAT! flagstaffIV Oh WOW! Your house is fantastic DH!!! I love your cupboard door handles Not long now!! Not long now Flaggie...so exciting IkonInteriors Hi dearhouse, The place is looking fantastic, I love your pantry doors (it's going to look great once you're in)! Just one thing the OH noticed, and that's the exterior batten holder light fittings which he thinks are 'Pulset'... get them changed as soon as you can. Pulset aren't the most reliable manufacturer around and the OH refuses to install their products - their circuit protection products in particular are know to fail Oh my, thanks for the info! Very good to know. Didn't like them anyway. I was already thinking of getting them changed. Thanks again! bobbin_84 Hey Dearhouse! Your house is looking sooooooo good!!

Hi bobbin, I hear you! pros and cons of building If you like, have a look at the Corinthian Website and our pantry door is RIMW. You can choose what kind of glass you want to go with it, transluscent, rice paper, etc... jodie76 The finish line is in sight so seeing the rainbow is like finding your treasure (except you have to pay for it over 25-30 years!!)! Looking gorgeous DH you must be rapt. Have they given you a date yet?? Oh Jodie, nearly there! I haven't asked anyone about dates yet I'm kinda nervous...I don't know why?? You are so close as well! By the way, what does PCI stand for? ---That's right! I don't kow what it stands for jenses Ooh, loving all your pics. We're getting the same tap handles and they look great so good to see. Still loving your pantry doors and your colours. Thanks jenses! I'm glad you like your tap handles too I'm happy with all of them. So...this week, all carpets in. Shower screens in.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the week!

I can't remeber but I know it means almost at the finish line!!!!!! Re: I've got the LOVE...and a few more lovin' to go! 236Jul 21, 2010 10:27 pm PCI= Practical Completion Inspection, I think. Sound like you are nearly there. We just signed our contract today and did lots more changes and electricals. With your Corinthian doors did you have to specify a colour stain or did you do a clear stain and let the wood grain show through. Does that make sense to you. It doesn't to me.

I just went with clear varnish as pantry doors came in walnut shade already. The clear varnish enhanced the colour a bit more, therefore perfectly matching my walnut cupbaords Site Scrape 27/04/10 Slab 7/5/10 Frame 11/5/10 Lock up - June Fix up - July Build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32389 Re: I've got the LOVE...and a few more lovin' to go! 238Jul 27, 2010 9:24 am Anything new to reveal yet?
