As the saying goes, you only ever hear when things go wrong. Tomorrow I move into my new home built by a fabulous builder. I would like to tell you…

Varies according to local authority. Where is the property located Mitchell88??

SunshineT welcome to the headache zone. As said before you have to be careful with the Taubmans colours as they pick up everything around them and most have an inclination…

The painting is finally done. We could not escape the Taubmans paints but as mentioned in an earlier post we tinted it a Resene colour. Downstairs we went for Resene…

just want to say I LOVE those pendants especially the copper version. I hope you have purchased by now. they are a bit too expensive for me, I envy you.

Thanks Tan,

Hi Tan,
have loved reading your entries. I am at the end of a new build and have been looking at purchasing from "Light in a Box' too. Could you…

Buildingbee, in Brisbane there are a few Taubman's Trade Centres. I visited two of these and found the one at Wooloongabba to be a complete waste of time however the…

bOson, we did get samples and paint on boards and this is when we noticed that we had chosen incorrectly. Actually the colour consultant had chosen incorrectly but there you…

Thank you All, I will let you know how it goes. fingers crossed.

Sorry doczim for tardiness in reply. I have been otherwise occupied with as coincidence has it, the doc. We paid around $11.5K for ours. For us we made the right…

We have a Neff wall oven at home and a Smeg dual fuel stove in our holiday home. I love both for different reasons. The Neff is just about as…

It doesn't get any easier fourth or fifth time around either! Most of the kitchens I've seen with Osprey have white or off white cabinets. Looks lovely and not…

I have just come back from another branch of Taubmans Trade Centre. What a difference between the two stores! the salesperson at the Valley store could not have been…

I love the colour combination of the cabinets and benchtops. What colour were the cabinets? Thanks in advance.

I've had a colour consultant and not just one provided by a builder. As ours is a private build there is are no 'colour sets' to choose from, we make…

That's great to hear Ezi4few thank you ! I bought 6 samples of Taubmans whites over the weekend (at Bunnings)and despite being told 'no they will not throw cream'…
