New home
Over the last 12 months we have been completing our new home.It's only on 300 sqm but we've really packed in everything. We expect to take over the home and bring in all the finishing trades within the month. We have naturally chosen Scavolini kitchens to finish the home. We have gone for a combo in the Kitchen area which is on the second floor, we have chosen the kitchen from the Mood range for the majority of the units in matt grey oak, the upper units in Grey high gloss with curved cabinetry from the Flux range.I have chosen to integrate two electrolux fridges and complete the appliance list with the Smeg linea range.The bench tops are all arabesqato marble,with mirror splashbacks. I have toned the home throughout in tones of soft grey, through to slate grey and black. The laundry cabinets are a soft matt grey with inbuilt ironing board and slide out folding bench. Floors are a matt grey marble that has what looks like a muted wood grain running through it.This is throughout the home,as it is not large I thought it best to keep the finishes minimal and maintain a flow from floor to floor.We have continued to use Scavolini cabinets for hallway cupboards,linen cabinets and floating feature cabinetry. Bathrooms are again paying homage to Italian design and are all floating with seamlessly integrated bench tops and basins.I haven't seen any like these in Perth or even Australia. The ensuite has a large floating vanity with no handles that has been entirely constructed -including the drawer fronts in grey marble-it is stunning. Really looking forward to it all arriving and being installed. The remainder is being carpeted in a mouse grey. The rest will evolve, I rarely make my colour selections until just before the painter arrives, its the one thing you really need to get right, and you need to know how the home "feels" on lovely sunny days ,dull days,and particularly night.The kids do there own bedrooms ,both of them are very set on their own looks and preferences and have had this option in the many many homes that they have been dragged to and from through out their lives.Photos will follow shortly of the home in its present state and then I'll update you on our progress.Wish me luck!
