I was reading on the thread that some of you guys upgraded the insulation. Was it worth it do youll think?
We only have upgraded roof insulation but there's definitely many benefits to upgrading it all if it's in your budget ?

We're looking to add stacks of pot drawers too. Much easier to use than standard cabinets. Have you included soft close to your cabinets and if so was there any extra cost for you to do this?

Soft close was included in our house. Not sure if it was part of the promo though Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 368Mar 14, 2017 4:52 pm Kat_1025 The long awaited kitchen is in... it was the part that made me most nervous as I wasn't sure how it would turn out but honestly could not be happier.

Hey Nae.. we sure did extend the bench in the laundry and we went with the walk in pantry instead of linen as we have 3 dbl linen and understand storage so def didn't need anymore haha Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 371Mar 14, 2017 5:12 pm aloenyx Looks great!!!

Now I'm more jealous!! Thanks Dawn! Very happy with all of it! Our last house we chose all the coloured cabinets and loved them but this time wanted white on white for everything... probably a little crazy when we have 2 toddlers hahaha Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 372Mar 14, 2017 5:21 pm Cool we're doing the extended kitchen so won't have walk in pantry or walk in linen! We have also asked to have the access to the understair storage in the garage so there is no door in the family room Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 373Mar 14, 2017 5:25 pm Nae84 Cool we're doing the extended kitchen so won't have walk in pantry or walk in linen! We have also asked to have the access to the understair storage in the garage so there is no door in the family room We asked for the door in the garage too and they said it couldn't be done... my ss said he doesn't see why but it's too late now! 😣 Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 374Mar 14, 2017 5:26 pm Kat_1025 aloenyx Looks great!!!

Our last house we chose all the coloured cabinets and loved them but this time wanted white on white for everything... probably a little crazy when we have 2 toddlers hahaha Haha.. not too crazy XD I have a white kitchen and was expecting a white laundry, and then picked a wood grain for my bathroom as all my tiling is white.. but the builder went with woodgrain in the laundry.. hopefully will look okay! Once they start painting you'll be at the same stage as me D Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 375Mar 14, 2017 5:34 pm aloenyx Kat_1025 aloenyx Looks great!!! Loving the white.

Once they start painting you'll be at the same stage as me D I love your woodgrain. It adds so much character to white floors. We chose grey floors so wanted the white to balance that. Our painting is due to start next Monday but we'd still be a few weeks behind you I think ?

Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 377Mar 14, 2017 5:50 pm Yeah super annoying as we wanted to store kids bikes etc and not have a shed either.... We were also told no change to the facade as we wanted to change the pitch of the porch.... guess what? Newport around the corner has done exactly what we wanted to do! :S Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 378Mar 14, 2017 7:10 pm Thanks. I just can't wait to see my tiles done.. I hope all the colours and grout work together. I really want to get back into the house, I've only got to walk through the inside once since frame stage.. its such an amazing feeling to walk through my house and get a feel for the space.

I'm sure it'll all look beautiful. Hopefully you get a nice surprise and tiles are finished by the time you get back to visit. I will be devastated when i cant get in... The only reason I got in today was jumping through a window 🙈 Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 380Mar 14, 2017 7:45 pm XD Haha!! You are brave. I get nervous just walking around the outside of my house in case someone sees me. I couldn't imagine breaking in XDD The one time I went in was with the builder just after plaster was done. Ooh, is your laundry benchtop stone? It looks nice. May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment.
