Love your kitchen. I am having a white kitchen and every time I see someone elses I get excited and it confirms I have made the right choice. Did you supply your own cabinet handles? Coral didn't have any bigger ones, so I am supplying my own. I love the look of them. And what colours are your kitchen cupboards and bench top? We are throttled back to dial up and I can only load some of your pics. Will have to have alook at work tonight. From what I can see, your house is stunning!! Thankyou. I was exactly the same with looking at other peoples white kitchens. I have a bad habit of picking colours and then obsessing about them until they actually went in the house lol... Hubby would always say too late now anyway but I liked having that re assurance that they would be ok. Our cabinet handles we still actually got through Coral. Like you said, Coral didnt have bigger ones but Beck ( In charge of Newcastle colour selections) was fantastic and said if you dont like these you can have anything you like. She showed me the TEKFORM web site and we picked the handles from there. (oddly enough, all the kitchen handles did not cost me anything to upgrade but the laundry ones, which were exactly the same cost an extra $98???? ) The kitchen cupboards are vivid white 2 pak. I couldnt pick a white so went to bunnings and asked what was just a plain white i.e no tint and they said vivid white. I was worried at first it would be too clinical, but since they've gone in Im really happy with the colour. The bench top is organic white caesarstone. What whites have you gone with (benchtop/cabinets) What paint are you going with?.. Im sorry if Ive asked that before.. Ive asked a lot of people with white kitchens what colour whites they went with Our cabinets are polar white and benchtops are laminate - pure mineralstone in diamond gloss. We will put stone bench tops in later. Our walls are lexicon 1/4. Great colour choices.. I love pure mineralstone.. it will look awesome! Diamond gloss makes it look so modern! We had this in our last house - we found it really easy to keep clean and it always looked nice!

Goodness, I just can't imagine how excited you are to be so close to handover!!! I'm lucky as I've been able to deal with the kitchen supplier directly (local kitchen maker) and she's already said I can have bigger handles and showed me a huge range that wouldn't cost me anymore. Same with the laminates, I could have anything (except the thicker benchtop it costs more) and it wouldn't cost anything extra. As I've got 3 children I needed more than the double towel rail, so I'm going to get them to install the included one to the ensuite (have 2 in there) and I've bought 2 x 750mm double rails for the bathroom. Thanks Rary! Handover is soo close but I think it will be the longest 2 weeks of our lives Thats really good about the kitchen handles and really good about the laminates. I know it does cost Coral anymore for different laminate colours but they certainly charge us We had to pay an extra $300 in the laundry just to have oyster linea we paid only because we wanted it all to be the same with the bathrooms, ensuite etc. Where abouts are you putting the 2 towel rails in your bathroom? The Stradbrokes (kids) bathroom is bigger than the Hamilton, but we have 3 kids too and I have that same problem. Im at a loss where to put 2nd towel though ( And considering the carpenter went in and put the rail where he wanted my options are limited) Re: Building a Coral Hamilton 278 - McKeachies Run 37Jul 11, 2011 9:39 pm pattycake4 Not long to go,love your kitchen looks so light and big Thanks Pattycake! Hows everything going with you..? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=48685 Re: Building a Coral Hamilton 278 - McKeachies Run 38Jul 11, 2011 9:47 pm I'm putting the towel rails one up higher and the other at the standard height - so one above the other. I'll do the same in the ensuite. I was trying to find a picture, but of course I now can't find one to show what I mean. ETA: a pic!

I think so My little ones can reach the lower rails and the teenager can put her towel up high and it will stop her complaining that the little ones are wiping their faces on her towel. ~ trying to build our dream home by the sea ~ 7 6249 I had a similar issue with my fridge not too long ago. It wasn't the same model, but the symptoms were pretty much the same: the compressor would start and then stop… 3 7516 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13723 |
