We provisioned a bit - just remember anything upstairs can always be done post handover as the electricians will be able to access the manhole we just had to make…

Hi sorry I just updated the post as I realised I didn't include in the trades/suppliers we used for the pool.
We went with Narellan - Jason from the South East…

Ah yes I see what you mean now I thought you mean our neighbour's shed wall!
Yes this has been capped, sorry that was an old photo I put up -…

Do you mean that piece of white cardboard next to the door? We're waiting on a plantation shutter for there - we just put that there in the mean time…

Husband cleaned the front over the weekend as a lockdown job. He's pretty proud. We are just waiting on the final render on the retaining walll and then we'll organise…

what do you mean by capping it? its our neighbours so I'm not sure what we're allowed to do.
yes our poor pooch can't wait to get up on the…

hi everyone! thought i would share with you some pictures of our landscaping and a few from around the house. we've had most of our post handover stuff complete now.
We…

looks incredible! i saw those in the lucretia showroom and thought - my tiny staircase void is definitely not magnificent enough for these beauties - but a void as grand…

wow did you render that wall yourself? i can't even get my husband to hang a painting

wow looks stunning! and the sheers have turned out magic can't wait to see the pool once its in! love globe west we got a lot of our furniture from…

We also went with Jason who TA recommended and had approval from council fairly quickly. I’d recommend going with him from our ow experience.

I would definetly recommend going with a volume builder rather than project managing yourselves. I’ve see a lot of dual occ builds in the bentleigh east / Kingston area with…

Just in time for lockdown 4.0 our new dining table arrived - we designed and commissioned our stonemason Rococo Stoneworks to create this piece of 3 meter magic for us…

We purchased lights from:
AboutSpace - showroom on St Kilda Road
Lucretia Lighting - showroom in Prahran. A lot of their online product isn't in the showroom though.
Amonson - I think a…

Hi Everyone! I know there was a lot of people asking about the wine room which has been fully installed now so thought I would share some pictures with you…

Bit of both. They might end up doing it at the PCI stage though just in case there are any more trades coming through who scratch and dent things along…

We only had two render colours - domino for the shadow clad and silkwort for the render colour. It's come up really nicely. You can ask TA for some addresses…

absolutely get TA to fix any issues you have with joinery. You are paying for a premium volume builder so there are certain standards they need to adhere to. We…

Lovely to see another TA build journey on here. It is crazy to see the difference in timeline pre and post COVID. We really only engaged TA a few months…

There was actually a TA house built on our current street about 5 years ago that was used as a display home. We were also able to visit 2 other…

Hello! I'm excited to join your neighbourhood soon!
Yes we've enjoyed the journey - there are always going to be hurdles with whatever builder you go with but overall the experience…

wow looks amazing. bet you would have enjoyed the pool this lovely easter weekend. hope you are all settled into the new home now.

We went with the Made by Story - Sesame. I believe the price has gone up dramatically since we signed on so now they are suggesting instead the Made by…

No we didn't specify that - it was just recommended to do it based on standard elevations (which may have changed?). In hindsight it would probably look cleaner without it…

Sorry my mistake only the overhead cabinets have the shelving issue - the underbench are all drawers (including in the island). However if you have under bench cupboards I would…

Write reply...

Sorry I am very behind but we actually did our PCI a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to upload the photos. We are hoping on Friday to…

Hi Everyone
A bit of a house update. We are closing in on the finish line now - they installed floorboards last week (no photos yet).
What has been done since…

I am having total skylight envy I wish we'd done it now too!
