We knew we were in trouble at the first meeting we had with PD, the first thing they ask you to choose is the facade for your new house. There are 10 to choose from, we chose the Urban, and were told, you will be pleased to know, that is the most expensive! Great, that didn't bode well for the rest of the conversation. S is super tall so we wanted to have extra tall ceilings, and therefore had to make some extra tall doors. We also wanted to extend the garage to fit in the fridge and other assorted things, which luckily fit on our block. We also will be keeping the extended Alfresco area, as our friends know we are not gardening people and are planning on decking as much as we can in the backyard.
We also wanted to make some external changes. We did not need a retreat in our bedroom (or to have to buy our 5th new couch) so we have extended the walk in robe in the master suite so the entrance aligns with the wall on the ensuite. We have also extended the shower in the ensuite so it is nice and big - the 33 shower is quite a bit smaller than the one in the 36.
We have also extended the pantry all the way so that the wall aligns with the edge of the kitchen. Giving us another whole side of benches. In the main bathroom, we have pushed the bath back into the void in the study, making that a totally square room.

Hi Helen,
ReplyDeleteWe are actually not too far from you. We are in stage nine at MW and my twin sister who is also building at MW starts next week, she is in Freshwater Boulevard. It is very exciting and we can't wait, but we think Natalie building will at least give us something to tide us over until April when we start.
