It'd be useful to know where north is, too. It make all the difference with how to reconfigure.

It might be best if you make a list of rooms you need in your house (e.g. how many people and ages) then the floor plan can be reworked.
Do the…

Sounds like BS to me. The doors would need an undercoat/primer: that is what the paint would stick to. The colour would not have anything to do with it.
Our profile…

I'd turn the entire kitchen / island around 90 degrees to the right so the bench area runs into the pantry.

You'd probably need a carpenter for that style of fence/gate due to the level of skill involved.

The quality of the work may well come down to being paid a low amount or simply there's no-one else to give the work to due to a boom in…

Your build is amazing. Such beautiful, considered choices.

The door looks great! You must be thrilled, finally.
I am still scarred 3 years after our extension/renovation was completed. The icing on the cake was when the stone mason…

I think the door looks great and as long as you're happy with it, it really does not matter what anyone else thinks.
The large format…

Definitely the black/charcoal or a deep navy, almost black <3

Cinders, a very small tin of paint is all that's required, perhaps $30 at most?

Your home is absolutely stunning! Great builders!
I would lean toward a black/deep charcoal leaving the sidelights white. It will pick up on the black of the lead while IMO the…

I'm not an expert but I imagine you will have to consider things like entry/access to rooms - that will also determine sheet size.
I would think the less joins you…

Hmmm, looking at the original layout, perhaps you could use the space like this:
* Living room becomes master bed with BIR along wall and ensuite using part of kitchen space.
*…

I like what Deemaree sketched since it would be the most cost effective way of altering the layout.
But, now knowing that North is to the rear and having just extended…

How is the house oriented at the moment, i.e where is North?
Just some ideas:
* Turn your current Living Room into the Main Bed with ensuite and WIR or just BIR…

Perhaps Antique White or 1/4 Hog Bristle?

What about Antique White or 1/4 Hog Bristle?
My walls are Hog Bristle and the kitchen is 1/4 Hog Bristle.

I am not 100% certain but after the frame has been inspected, the wet areas/waterproofing are inspected and then an occupancy certificate is issued once all work is complete.

Hello jnny123,
Lock-up is when the property is secured with windows and external doors on with locks.
It sounds like your property will not be be at lock-up until the garage roof…

Thank you, cheerupcharlie. These are the style of stools and chairs I'd really like because they can be pushed up under the bench and then you can easily get all…

ljcoz, it comes down to how much money you have to spend. You could have your kitchen custom made as we did and we have a hand-painted finish so you…

Most tiles places would have some form of the subway type tile. The glass ones look great.
This style is available from national Tiles:

What a transformation!
These subway tiles as great - love the blue but it will also depend upon your colours in adjoining rooms:
