I think you're right, if you've never had them you won't miss them. A place can be made to look lovely with or without downlights, you'll be fine!.
She took a…

Thanks TomCat, I originally had blockout curtains for the stacker doors but then realised I didn't want to stop light coming into this area so I changed to the sheer.…

Thanks! It's coming along, we still have to a bit of after handover stuff to complete before its 100% finished. Your garden idea sounds nice, we're just going mainly low…

Hi TomCat, congrats on getting into Council!! I like your front facade mock up, are you having palm trees in your yard?

Hey Deluxes, your home is looking gorgeous! It really makes me consider going to the 'dark' side hehe.

Wow has it really been that long since I've posted?! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
We are in our new house, got the keys on December…

You have some nice selections, good to see some different things. Sorry to hear about your air con issue, fingers crossed they come up with an idea that works for…

Thank you, the high set windows are louvres. We wanted maximum light and air flow in the place, so far it seems to have worked.

Thanks Ru! That's going to be something I really need to figure out, especially while other houses are still under construction. I'm going to have a look into those karcher…

Ohhh pendants, how gorgeous do they look! You're doing well to keep a certain style throughout the house Deluxes, love it!!

We had issues with no communication, still do. It's very disappointing, I hope they get their $h!t together and start getting back to you soon. Looks good to me, once…

Wow, it's going to be huge. Congrats on frame start, it's such an exciting stage of the build. I like your driveway idea too.

Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing your build

That's great news. I like the sound of your idea with painting the whole house in retreat, I think with a place as big as yours you can do it.

That's ok TC, they definitely change colour depending on the amount of light in the place. Hahaha I'll keep hoping for no more feral moments from our furrkid.

So true, pretty lounges are either uncomfortable or not big enough to lounge on. We'll be using our existing lounge for the same reasons, I might have to get handy…

Congrats on the site start. I would definitely recommend getting an independent inspector. Our builder has a private certifier but we still hired an independent inspector and he picked up…

Great to hear, thanks. I love this it's like I get to find out how things work without even trying them Your lounge looks…

Thanks TC. I know what you mean, we got lots of different stories about carpet quality. In the end we went for the cat 3 upgrade, it's got a good…

I'm sooo glad I changed them vanities Thanks for the kind words, arghh it gets so bloody frustrating when you have to worry over…

It's pretty ridiculous. I've been doing some reading and it's quite a common issue for people to get a white splashback that turns out green because the full clear glass…

Exciting times ahead, congrats!

Your flooring is nice, seems like it will go with your choices really well. I think I've said it before but gosh I love that master suite!!

What an interesting floorplan! I haven't seen many like this, it's good to see something different. Love your flooring and I'm a white kitchen fan of course. Can't wait to…

Yeah I've been told they used standard clear instead of clear low iron. It was never mentioned that the samples I was choosing from werent the products they'd use in…

It was pretty quick, I counted 5 people on site at one stage.

Hi, our place is 208m2. We had all areas except the bedrooms, nearly 90m2 tiled and it took them 3 or 4 days.

We did PCI last Wednesday which went ok, a few things to fix. Our biggest concern would be a few bricks on one of our portico pillars have been chipped…
