What do you think of our dream-home plans?
Comments (57)Hey Nik Star, I've had a PowerPoint play with oklouise's edits. This is what I meant about garage entry to the pantry and a laundry in the garage. The red arrows are to stipulate to the builder that level access is required. I added extra garage depth to allow for the garage, that would definitely impact your facade elevation. If you remove the wall between the butler's pantry and mudroom you would have a SUPER PANTRY! But a true butler's pantry in that it was supposed to be where you would land with the veg from the garden so you would kick your shoes off inside the door, so I've noted a little bench seat there, then head in and wash it before heading over to the actual cooking area. Then if you get rid of the sliders and reduce the storage to shallow shelving on the middle wall you would have plenty of space to manoeuvre with mobility devices. For the washing labour machines - washer, dryer, dishy - try getting those mounted on plinths so the load on your poor back is reduced. I have dodgy joints so I am researching all the ergonomic ways to design work spaces to help me when I get to the awesome stage you guys are at with getting to build!...See MoreWhat do you think of my home makeover?
Comments (15)Shazia you're a brave woman indeed to invite "all opinions" and fortunate that houzzers tend to be helpful not hurtful. Your opinion is ultimately what counts of course. Whilst difficult to judge without seeing the room in it's entirety this is what I'd try if it were my home. I question the location of the dining area and wonder if you've tried or considered moving it nearer the kitchen? I'd move the elaborate mirror to end wall on it's own where the a/c - security box are (they may need to be moved across a bit, I've done it, it's easy), with the dining suite there. The mirror won't fight with the Chesterfields then and would work well with the dining suite. I'd move the dark corner bookcase next to the stairwell, it looks like it would fit and make the room less busy. Bring the wall unit up to it moving the TV unit down where I'm assuming the wall unit ended before. Then you could arrange your couches into an L with space enought to walk between window and couch facing the kitchen and space to walk behind the other couch facing the TV to walk in and out of the sliding door creating a cosy nook. The cow rug would work a treat. I'd place the Moroccan table with the Tiffany lamp in the corner void created where the couches meet. It would create defined areas whilst still looking open. That's my taste of course and know that my ideas usually takes hours, days, weeks of moving and shoving things around until it feels right. If it feels right it is right Shazia.

Comments (14)expensive to lay them but worth the money, the bathroom looks fresh and contemporary but more contrast could have been used maybe the floor tile running up the end shower wall, may have been a highly pattened tile, or different shape, smaller of bigger tiles, but that is nit picking. love the timber vanity maybe a bit to close to the floor, but 9 out of 10....See MoreWhat do you think of this grouting job
Comments (13)This article may help you have a discussion with your tradesman that grouted your bathroom. Did they use the correct grout and was it mixed correctly. tylecurator.com.au/picking-the-right-grout/ Grout discolouration Discolouration is patchiness or a chalky appearance of grout and can be caused by a few things but mainly incorrect mixing. Because grout is sold as a powder and mixed with water before being applied it relies on the person mixing the product to get the ratio right and to mix thoroughly. It can also happen if too much water is used during clean up so it’s important to go with an experienced tiler who knows the right method. Grout cracking In my opinion, nothing looks worse than cracked grout. This is where you’ll really notice the difference between a regular grout and a high-quality grout. Grout is cementitious but high-quality grouts have less fillers and more polymer to strengthen and fortify, significantly reducing the likelihood of cracking. If your grout cracks, eventually you’ll need to remove the grout and reapply it — costing you time and money so it’s best to get it right the first time. To prevent cracking, it’s also important to make sure you’re tiling onto the right type of surface as movement underneath tiles will almost always result in cracking — even if a high-quality grout is used. What is Epoxy grout? You may have heard the term epoxy grout used recently and there’s plenty of reason why it’s creating buzz — a new type of grout that is virtually stain-proof, easy to clean and less likely to crack. So what is epoxy grout? Most grouts are cement-based and by nature, absorb water which is why they can stain, discolour and crack. Epoxy grouts are high performance grouts made from epoxy resins and a filler powder that make it extremely durable. Although epoxy grouts are designed for situations that require strict standards of hygiene, such as hospitals, or chemical and physical resistance, such as around pools, increasingly we’re seeing this type of grout used in residential areas — particularly for kitchen splashbacks and in showers. While earlier formulas of epoxy grout were difficult to work with and only had limited colour options, new products such as Ardex EG15 are changing that with many colours to choose from, including light, mid and dark greys. Imagine never having to worry about mould, stains or discolouration in the shower? Or oil and tomato stains on your kitchen splashback? This is when you would ask your tiler to use an epoxy grout. You should know that this product, being a high-performance product, is more expensive but ‘Do it once and do it right’....See MoreCraft and Confetti Boutique
