These walls are pretty common in suburban blocks in housing developments in WA - we've had one on both of the houses we've built.
I wouldn't do it for any…

I LOVE star jasmine! they have that at my chiropractor and you can smell it from around the corner as you walk from your car... delish!

Thanks thorney! Funny isn't it, sometimes I look at the carpet and worry I bought it too dark! haha!
We don't have much decent furniture in the carpeted rooms yet, it's…

We got our own deal with the floors. Had quotes from around 3 companies but I was so worried about reputation and quality above everything else. Prices came in around…

Yeh that's better! Bed 1 seems better proportioned now in comparison to the living areas. You had one bedroom a similar size to your living areas, it just seemed like…

We moved into our Scott Park-build home around 6 or 7 weeks ago and overall was very happy with the process compared to our previous build with a BGC-owned company…

Gorgeous plan! I honestly cannot see a single thing I would change, it looks to me like it will flow beautifully.
Congrats and good luck to your wife with the colour…

Hiya!
I really like the living areas up top design to maximise the views you have, I think that's great. The plans look really good, here are my thoughts
- I like…

We bought a concrete one and painted it the same colour as the house. I've noticed that in our area people just tend to keep the cream/charcoal colour they're sold…

Hello, we've just finished our build with SPH, moved in around 6 weeks ago.
I found the experience to be pleasant overall, although they let themselves down a bit when it…

Can you still fit the two cars through the front of the garage as a result?!
If not, I don't think any amount of compensation would cover it, personally...

Joles - we love it! When it started going on the walls it was a bit scary as it looks so dark compared to the bright white of the plaster...…

Thanks monkey!
The walls are Dulux 'Linseed', and we got Tassie Oak solid 112mm boards.
Coastal Timber Floorsanding supplied and installed the floors, they were very good with showing up when…

We're in! We've been in around a month and the inside is now complete, decoration-wise. We'll need to kit out the home theatre down the track and perhaps buy a…

2nd one absolutely!

I think you could get around the laundry issue by changing the door to the other side, so it's accessed through the garage, and just re-jigging the internal configuration of…

I've heard mixed reviews. I knew a woman who loved them, and had built with them two or three times.
However, there was a place built near us and it took…

Thanks guys - donut, from memory I think Avonite is a solid acrylic material rather than actual stone. But it looks like stone, feels like stone... sounds like stone (when…

We are super excited... feels like a long time coming! Bought the block in Aug 06 and took us awhile to get going with our builder, but once we started…

We've got our Handover appointment on Monday after lunch!
Paying our flooring deposit on Saturday morning, they are due to start on Wednesday. Carpets are currently booked for 13th Feb, but…

We're picking up our keys on Monday!! Wooohoooooo!!!

We have 300x300 and we did half height for the skirting tiles. We would never have thought to do this, except it was done in the display version of our…

My friend's husband is a tiler and she said you can buy better quality more expensive grout that's easier to clean? Something like that anyway.
Her suggestion is to also pay…

Ahhh see that I could deal with, because it's actually an Octagon. So it has sides that you can put a couch or a bed or a set of drawers…

Woohoo!! A win for the little guy, congrats
Hopefully they'll ensure that the whole delivery is from the same batch, at the same time to be…

Sounds like my worst nightmare... I don't even like Bay windows!
What a pain to furnish, unless you can buy round furniture, think of all the wasted space

Pre-Handover is done and dusted!!!
Just a few small items, mostly patching of plaster and scratches.
Other than that, we're just awaiting delivery of our dishwasher (told them not to bother installing..…

Not sure where you're located, but we live in WA where most homes are double brick, except internal walls which are single brick.
We had our power points and lights installed…

Ohh I like this one better than the Dune for sure
Lovely!

Ahhh this makes sense now! Well in that case I'd still chuck a door on... don't know about you guys but our study is always a pigsty with papers and…
