Hi Dan, I thought having a big mirror there, or a bath, would like nicer than just a wall.

Wow I have read your thread with disbelief. I cannot believe how unprofessional and unfriendly they have been. I actually love their display home, but will now look at…

Thanks for your inputs! Don't think there will be any natural light in the activity kiwi, it's more like a large open space in the hallway.
I'm thinking the minor bedrooms…

Thanks alt for explaining, I think that will look great!

Hi Alt,
Your bathroom layout seems very interesting! Do you have any photos of what it will look like? It seems like a great way of utilising the space, but I'm…
