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…

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!

wow impressive. so close to the finish line. I think we're only a couple of weeks off you! can't wait to see it all come together.

It's a fairly standard HIA contract. Unfortunately it always favours the builders. It doesn't hurt to have checked by a lawyer but also I don't know if there's a huge…

We've only had one variation we've had to pay for to date which was a big one for electrical. As someone else mentioned they do it as a deterrent.
There…

Hi Everyone! We went today to see the tiling today which is close to finish (bar a bit of grouting!) - we're super happy yet again!
We chose the Siene Grey…

mathanki steered me to do ledges i am glad she did - i love them! definitely get those if you can!

its a bit of a lifesaver. it has a lot of the paint finishes pre loaded also and then you can just import in any photos you have of furniture…

thank you for your lovely words! we chose the polytec black woodmatt. it looks lovely - my suspicious is that fingerprints might be a nightmare (although we have finger pull…

I would not highlight the cornice unless it is a period style home where you've invested into a beautiful style of cornice.. we have a very basic cornice so we…

I also took inspo from BlackTeaTwoSugars and did up some mood boards to help us with furniture selections. We've mainly just ordered for the living room so far because of…

Things are racing along! I feel like landscaping will take longer than the build at the pace we're going!
Our joinery is nearly complete now - tilers were in yesterday. They…

wow what a beauty!!! must be getting close?

looks great. what colour did you select for the v groove panels? i am thinking i want a similar colour for when we do the same finish in our master.

Hi Guys! It's been a long time since we've posted - obviously we weren't allowed onsite for a lifetime and then life has been ever so hectic since we've been…

Hi sorry it's been a bit manic since lock down finished and we finally have some internal photos. I'll try and get some up this week - they were plastering…

yes i'll try put some more up this week. we are at lock up now they were plastering over the weekend (my husband was there and managed to get in…

looks great. i run past your house every couple of days always fun watching the progress (although not much to see now at lock up!). its all coming together really…

looks great. i hope you're loving being in your new house. we're deep into furniture shopping now! x

I would like that contact too 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️Please
