And yay get to enjoy more tile shots!! We took the robes out and put them in more times than I could count haha. Glad we left them though as is one less thing to worry about after handover. Went to Ikea today and got some curtain rails for the master and front living as well as a cube unit for our girls room. So much flat pack to put together when we move arghhhhh Tiles are looking fantastic. Not worried about the carpet matching as it's very dark but the floorboards are very similar so hopefully it works... or I just keep the laundry and powder room doors closed permanently hahaha Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 589Apr 19, 2017 9:13 pm Kat_1025 aloenyx Ooh!

We still have all our old furniture plus all the new stuff so will be a horrible move but worth it once we're in. Robe was $400ish for each side of the master. The second master robe and other 4 beds we stuck with the normal one shelf and hanging rail. Contracts is exciting. Make sure you double check light placements and switches.
