Browse Forums Building A New House Our First Dream Home Week 4 Waiting - G&P Builders 112Feb 16, 2018 7:07 pm Ha, you're now on the pendant roller coaster. Fun but frustrating at the same times as there are SO many choices out there! You can definitely have different pendants for your dining and kitchen but as tribe said, nice to have something that ties them in together whether it be colour or style or material. We are heading out to more lighting places tomorrow to see if we can find a statement pendant/ chandelier for our stairwell void. I just love all the timber American stuff which is hard to get here. Totally crushing on this right now and hope we can find something similar, or better still, get it imported for a reasonable price! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Good to hear you're niche will get sorted. Smaller builders are definitely more accomodating with this stuff. We asked to have some window heights adjusted as we found them too low, and to reduce the walk in linen and make the laundry bigger. Our builder was happy to accomodate. A volume builder would never have agreed to any of it. Re: Our First Dream Home Week 4 Waiting - G&P Builders 113Feb 16, 2018 8:44 pm Tribe7 OMG SN you have unleashed your inner pendant monster . The kitchen doesn’t have to match the dining perfectly but it should carry a similar texture, colour scheme or style to have the continuation. But it other cases completely different pendants go perfectly in certain homes. It really comes down to what you like and want. You certainly have picked a lovely range of lights, I do like the beaded chandeliers, one of those over your dining table and possibly woven wicker ones over the island the matching part is they are natural products but different looks but still go together really well. I really like the acorn pendants for the master they are pretty. You have a heap of choices a head of you . I brought three pendants on Valentine’s Day . Great to hear your ss is so happy to share the upcoming schedule and everything will pick back up once the roofers have been. Does MrTribe know about the pendants Tribe 🤣. I was so indecisive over my cabinetry and now that that’s locked in I have two weeks to be indecisive about pendants. I’m sure my husband is super excited about the prospect lol. I actually have never spoken to or seen my site supervisor. I have always spoke to one of the owners of G&P or the client services manager who sends out a fortnightly email about the upcoming job. It’s funny because I thought I would be bugging my site supervisor every other day. Re: Our First Dream Home Week 4 Waiting - G&P Builders 115Feb 16, 2018 8:50 pm Bridgetwitch Waiting is so hard... when will you get your roof? I have been obsessed with pendants for a year now, and still can’t make up my mind about what I want!!! I have my entry pendant that I bought on sale months ago and will have a little chandelier above my ensuite vanity - but deciding on the dining room and island pendants... aarrgg! I’ve changed my mind so many times it’s not funny! I think I actually need to see the kitchen in to know what will suit best... so many choices! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 The roof is booked for next week, it was already booked in before the carpenters started and apparently they have had other jobs so weren’t able to bring it forward. Disappointing but understandable. I guess all the trades don’t revolve around my build sadly lol. My husband wants to wait to see the rooms in but our meeting is with the electrician on 5/3 so we really need to decide what we are doing by then. I work much better to a deadline. I procrastinated about the cabinetry for months and months, waking up at night thinking about it. Once I locked them in last week I’ve barely thought about them again. I think I had better do the same with the pendants, and move onto another decision Re: Our First Dream Home Week 4 Waiting - G&P Builders 116Feb 16, 2018 8:53 pm Dani_J Ha, you're now on the pendant roller coaster.

I feel like the kids bedroom windows are too close together but I thought it would be too late to change .

Not the position mind, just the height, so just moving them up if you know what I mean. Thanks for this. I have been on every Aussie website let me tell you! But hard to keep track so I'll check again.

Maybe I’ll see if it’s an easy fix. Thank you. Re: Our First Dream Home Week 5 Roof - G&P Builders 120Feb 20, 2018 6:40 pm Roof will be really quick once they do it Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 13567 1 7926 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site!
