Thread: Marty's New Home in the sticks

Couple of pictures of the finished floors, King arrived over there yeaterday and says the house looks fantastic!

Nice shot of lounge room, will look better when cleaned up

And the dining/kitchen/hall

And a shot from the front, with painting now in the right places, I see the "outside shower" has been painted white but still isn't connected to anything!

Looking bloody good, FO.

"Looking Good" as Waspy requested we say......

I like the archway features. Almost time for landscaping and furnishing it.

I am very happy with it so far, just needs doors and windows and bathroom fit out. Kung has been to home pro and purchased some fan/lights and some shower and tap fittings so all systems are go!

Lots of pics coming in now Kung is over there. Her photos are much better too!

They are starting to lay the tiles on the verandah and the carport, you can see the light blue tiles going down

Kung has been shopping, using the credit card. This is a photo of the fan/light going into the dining room and lounge room.

And these ones into bedrooms, I can't see the light fitting, so I'm not sure if these will be supplemented by those sunken ceiling lights or what?? Guess I'll leave that to her.

And this is the shower fitting she has chosen for our bathroom

If you were to move the master bedroom door further down together with the door to the bedroom area, then lose the corridor by the kitchen you could open up the living area a bit more.

Bit like this:



It would leave a pillar in the middle of the room, but I reckon if you made a kitchen island that incorporated the pillar then you wouldn't really notice it. Something a bit like this:



I'd guess you would lose a bit of counter space to fit a fridge in, but with the island you'd gain a lot of surface space there, plus have a handy little breakfast counter thing.

Just a suggestion........... Koetjeka is probably a better man to advise on this sort of thing than me.

Good idea... it has more of an open air feel to it. It moves the hall door way back and provides an excellent line of sight from the living room into the kitchen. I think it's a better atmosphere.

Kung, the shower accessories - excellent taste.
The FO - an outdoor man. Of course, the natural style would be more his style.

Fans are a nice touch. Go with the can lights. Better distribution of light and the globes on the fans are a nuisance to clean.

looking good and good ^^i like it

FFS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know there is no way to properly address FatOne. Firstly FatOne alone kind of makes me laugh. FO is...well.....We all know. I started to write FatO but I am not sure which is worse FatOne or FatO.

So Mr M is what I will go with.

The ceiling fans are going to be a blessing for you. I do not care for the oscillating fans all over the house on the floor. We are installing 7 ceiling fans in our place(All bedrooms, living area, TV room and the Sala). Here is a site www. lighting fan.com. Some suggestions FWIIW, I do not know about you, but I am not a big fan of pulling the chain deal to turn on fan and light or adjust the speed and remotes get lost, If you go to the above site they have a very nice wall mount fan light control. Now I can't say how good they are, but the missus track them down. They look very nice and clean. here is the link http://www.lightingfan.com/modules.p...w&qc=34&No=551

Your place is moving right along. Nice touches from Mrs. M in regards to the shower hardware. it looks great and we will do something similar having the rain shower head. I cant wait to get to the point where you are.

Cheers

Damn find FO. Hope that meets the approval of the inspector of righteousness.

Getting so you can't say shit anymore..... Oh hell can I say shit.

You said, "damn, hell, and shit." Nicely done BKKB.

Thanks for the comments folks. Too late to do anything about the fans, they are bought and paid for, I don't know what sort of controls they have but I hope they are the permanent stuck on wall type. The minister of war chose the fans and fittings so I take no responsibility. I believe she is going with 4 downlights in the bedrooms rather than a light in the fan.
AND_ redwhiskeredone, WAAAY too late for that!

FO, now I know where you got your inspiration for your black tile borders:

They are tiling the outside, front verandah and carport in blue tiles
