Looks great. The mix of exterior finishes really compliment each other. Liking the front railings too !

I'm glad you like the railings. With the house being low and wide, I wanted the railings to have a similar feel so designed them to have a horizontal feel rather than the typical vertical. I found a superb guy in Ringwood who made them for me - they weight an absolute ton!!

Probably too busy enjoying and admiring every little detail. I know I would.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for asking Ali - it's great to be here at last.

Finally moved in around 6pm Wednesday. We've been emptying boxes since then

The house is not totally finished - the builders will be here for about another 2 weeks finishing outside and the garden - but it's close.

I found my camera last night in a box so will take some pictures today and this evening and post up tomorrow.

Cheers, Gary

Here are a few quick ones from today - still trying to clean so not much time to do a proper job yet I'll post some better ones as soon as I get a chance.

You have very good taste for a senior man

No plates on the walls or royal family memorabilia.


I,m trying to locate a wills and kate pop -art print.......

I've got the pendant lights, they just need to be installed along with the kitchen ones - hopefully next week.

Looking even better now it's lived in Gary.

What is your kitchen / dining flooring?

We are really close to pushing our go button and insurance have just boosted our coffers paying out for a new kitchen floor.

Hi Vex,

All from Porcelenosa.

They are the PAR-KER Oxford range (which is a wood plank lookalike). The actual tile in the kitchen is PAR-KER Oxford Acero and the bathrooms are Oxford Antracita.

Not sure how I've only just spotted this thread. Fabulous build. Has hints of Frank Lloyd Wright about it, for me.
