Freestanding bathtub?
HAHAHAHA - there is many a day when I too would trade my children - and for a lot less than the spunky tap!!!

The distance on the floor (by the tap) is a mere 30cm - and about 10cm at the top of the bath to the wall
On the side by the window,…

+1 - Flick mixers def the way to go - so much easier to just flick up to wash your hands rather than 'turning' the tap/s on..
Freestanding bathtub?
Ours is fairly close to the wall, but I can still manage to get in behind it to clean okay - not as easily as obviously Kyton would be able…
Do you have a wall hung vanity
This is our wall hung/off the ground bathroom cabinetry - they do give the room a nice spacious feel, and I still find it enough storage...

How much of your income is spent on loan repayments?
My vote went to the 40-50% range...
However we are intentionally paying twice the minimum amount - VERY eager to get rid of this mortgage....!!!
A question for those with floor to ceiling tiling
No cornices in our bathrooms, but then we don't have any in our house at all, so guess it would look a little odd having them in there only... definitely…
What you love most about your new kitchen
We have one of those vacuum things in the skirting, and to be honest, have only used it once - I much prefer to vacuum daily and get everything that…

Okay mine would be -
My zip tap - or as Sheznay said "the tap that pours out boiling water", - mine does boiling…
Stone benchtops and 2 pack cabinetry in laundry - overkill??
We too did 2-pak in our laundry (as well as CS bench) - we have the same cabinetry colour throughout our bathrooms and kitchen and just wanted continuation, so never…
room sizes
Hi there, here are some of our room sizes...
Kids bedrooms -
one is 3.5x4
other 4x4
Both of these seem to be fine size wise, kids don't spend a huge amount of…
How do I know how much to budget???
When we were determining budget the architect played a big part in this - we told him around about what we anticipated spending - and then what our requirements/hopes were…

Stain on 2-Pack kitchen cupboard door
We had a couple of marks that seemed to 'appear' after a few weeks of having our high gloss 2-pack cupboards - well I didn't notice them until we had…
Exhaust/heat/light fans why are they SOOOO UGLY?
I'm not sure what the brand was, but they were from Wide World of Lights (QLD) - they do have a website, but only limited products on it... sorry not…
Exhaust/heat/light fans why are they SOOOO UGLY?
Haha, you are so right though - many do!!!
These are the ones we have - almost flush in the ceiling, and very unobtrusive, yet do the job well...!
Sorry not that…
Window in Pantry - Is it a good idea?
I think there are a fair few of us who have had this…
Bath tile joins. Mitred or stainless steel strip?
I like the look of mitred, and this is what we have in all our bathrooms, but could def see how the s/s strip could tie in nicely to some…
Niche above bed in master bedroom
We had a niche in our plans, but decided against it. If you do want one, I would opt to place it lower down, as you would find it…
Stain on caesarstone
No didn't notice any difference at all - looked like new again! Thankfully haven't had to do this on my installed bench top (yet......?!!!)
Stain on caesarstone
When I had my sample of CS to test (pure white) I managed to stain it with tumeric - got it off with baking soda and little bit of water…
Show me your built in laundry hamper, please
WOW, that is awesome - can never have too much storage area in a laundry - something I grossly under-estimated, and wished I have more room... love those roll outs!

Can't believe I have only just now read your thread MrsG - I really must venture into the 'building a new house' forum more often! Obviously I had seen…
Island Bench - having to use two pieces of stone
We have a join in our bench - it really bothered me in the beginning, esp as I was never told there would be a join (and being a naive…
