Kitchen help

The bench with all the appliances on it seems quite crowded. Would you consider moving the sink to the island? If there is room you could increase the depth of…

Cracked roof tiles

Our house is 4 years old, and nobody has been on the roof in that time. I can remember two short hailstorms since we’ve been here, with small hailstones, around…

Kitchen design query

Because of the island alignment though, I'd still favour a door that matches the cabinetry over glass

Kitchen design query

The symmetry would be lovely but your pantry would be on perpetual display - if that's something you can cope with then go for it. You could leave the door…

Taubmans Ageless or Winter Ice

I don't know if this is of any use to you now, but we've used Ageless and while I like it a lot, our tiles are a bit cream. Ageless…

KDR or other options?

Fans: Haiku or Aeratron?

I should say most DC fans would suit except for the nest feature!

We ended up with a mix of DC and AC fans. Both DC models are quite, move lots of air on the highest speed setting, and have a very slow…

Many builders still have contracts with standard construction times of 9/10 months but many seem to take longer to actually build, judging by the homes going up around us. I've…

Have you seen other homes around you being built by the same company? Might give you an idea if Newstart is beset by the same problems. Huxley homes in Sydney…

Ceiling fan extension rods

We have ceilings of a similar height and were advised to use a rod to have the fan sit 2.4-2.5m above the floor. Our electrician installed them at 2.4m, he…

Warm or Cool LED lights ?

We have 4000K throughout and think they look great, I find the 3000K lights too yellow and 5000/6000K too blue. There are differences in light from one brand of downlight…

Montgomery homes have a split display at Homeworld in Kellyville. I don't know if there are others closer to home for you

Anybody used a whole stone slab for their island?

We have a whole slab, although I think it's 1400 rather than 1500mm. We're looking forward to all that bench space! It doesn't look too big but there was room…

I would only have sliding doors if space were an issue. I find it annoying when putting laundry away to have only part of the wardrobe accessible.
