Building our Dream ... literally. Eden Brae Saville 27

Bed Frame

2012-02-06T11:05:00.002+11:00

I was looking for a white bedroom suite to compliment a bold colored feature wall for our bedroom. but i wasn't quite sure how the colors would come up. For the first home i want it to be easy and simple for now, as i can always play with the colors later when we have more time and money to spend ;)

As we were Haunting our bed suite , Look what we 've found :o.... isn't this beautiful? my hub did a marvelous job .Thanks to him, It was on a huge sale when we ordered it but if you guys like it , visit Domayne. because its worth it , with the giant headboard which you can alter the size, if you don't like it . we kept it :) . The headboard itself can become that focal point of your bedroom . You have variety of colors and fabrics to choose from, we have the exact one as you can easily find colored accessories to mix and match .

Kitchen update

2012-01-26T20:35:00.001+11:00

We got a phone call from Kitchen Culture re: our kitchen sink. Worst part is we've pictured our kitchen already and we want it, as it is but due to some manufacturer issues we had to change our sink into single bowl with strainer. I am thinking of going with two bowls instead of the strainer, although its not practical in day to day living. My husband i were thinking of avoiding clutters in the kitchen tops and we are opting out the idea of dish strainer anyway. I hate last minute plans :( but hope fully we 'll like our two sink bowls rather than changing our whole plan of the kitchen.. well folks i am uploading few pictures of our kitchen ideas hope you all will like it cheers :)

The kitchen wall unit will be similar to this one in white color and orange glass splash back as shown on the picture ;) , with the cook top and shelves on top , we will have pot drawers and spice cabinets on the base of the unit. Microwave and oven will align vertically on top of one another on Right side and refrigerator on left side with wine cabinet above it

Our Island bench will be Lshaped but look similar like this one again in (white colour with greyish table top) with similar shelves on right side and the other half of the bench on left side will be used as brekkie table :) as pic shown below ..

Color ???##@@

When we went for our color appointment 6 months ago, i wasn't ready at all, (first time builders)what can u expect??First of all, I hadn't done my homework and since we had so much selections at the same day. My mind was everywhere. Every thing From the Brick to Doors selection, Today we have, we are proud for what we have decided...except Colors. well, I did choose some colors that particular time of the day, but by the end of the day i ended up not liking it. Since then, i have been looking up in google and tried to find some ideas.."UNSUCESSFULL"
I havent still decided about the color for the feature walls for our Living Room and Bed Room. I picked Blushing Red for Bedroom and Boysenberry ( Brownish red) for our living room but i think those colors are too bold. But feature walls are supposed to stand out?? shouldn't they??, and my furnitures and curtains will be in softer colours like white and beige..Now, I am starting to freak out. :O ??!! These were my second color choices for both areas but i am still not 100% about it, I have now decided to go with more natural colors and pale grey is one of my option, but grey?? Does anyone have any idea?? I don't want to mess up , when we have spent $$ : D. Please please suggest me with your ideas.

P.S. Our building manager is kind enough to give us a last chance to mend my errors :( )), Hopefully i ll get something :s

"Furnitures"

2011-11-17T19:33:00.001+11:00

Since our building is in progress, we have been keeping ourselves busy with loads of window shopping and research in many ways...To bring life in a new home, we might need some beautiful furniture to start with . so far we have came across some alluring inspirations which are quite difficult to bring into reality due to "Budgeting Issues" Below are some of my picks from a vast ranges of designs and prices available

Firstly, Sofas. When i think of sofas , I personally want it to be comfortable, flexible, durable and most importantly Fabric..and the first time i visited King Furniture i fell in love with "Carousel". I wanted it so much for our family room but shame that i cant afford it at this time :( but hopefully someday. Anyway i have a picture of this majestic carousel in a lovely sorrento fabric.

"Carousel " By King Furniture

And this one above is an upholstered fabric sofa with more style and elegance perfect for our living room. we wanted to book it now as we dont have enough space in our apartment now but unlucky they dont store it for more than three months once you buy it. we visited last tuesday and we were so happy to see it on the display. I think Amelia is Ours ;)

Another Glamorous piece by OZdesign. These chairs are $800 above but worth it for a beautiful new home, I say. These designer chairs has variety of fabrics depending on the prices , which you can always mix n match. I m in love with a more softer pattern than this one, which i couldn't find online. The best thing about it is the good looks plus the good feel.

Alas, Finally we get our sofa. For now, i have accepted to compromise the love for "Carousel " for nothing but Hope. This modular sofa has similar characteristic to carousel but less charm. This'll do for the moment. Please check the link below for the picture and the code is :HQ836 . Ours will be in more lighter colour.

Another lovely green upholstered "Chic" looking double armed chaise.

A cozy media room with full on Bean bags or a large rectangular daybed.

And Finally those outdoor chairs are the best buy for alfresco areas. They are so comfortable to relax and have a cuppa with your family.You can always decorate it with colorful cushions to enhance its beauty.

CHeers ;)

Bed room Ideas

2011-10-30T13:09:00.000+11:00

Here are some inspiring Bedroom Ideas that i have come across which is completely my idea of my "Master Bedroom". Sadly, i found these pictures way after we had chosen our feature wall color on our bedroom.

The soft pink wall color pairs with the cushions to connect with the bed itself.

And i have started to think that i like more curtains around my bed without the bed posts, eliminating the head bit as well. Besides we are going for a more minimalistic approach so the curtains would itself define the room.

A Circle shaped Mirror up on the feature wall, Ours would be a solid wall with more space than this picture here.

And an ottoman or a double arm chaise would complete my dream room .

The idea of matching the colors of the curtains and bed frame is attractive as well ;)

Finally!! Construction Starts..

2011-10-26T21:20:00.000+11:00

With great surprise we discovered that our construction has finally started, in our last visit. And our happiness has no boundaries at present, with so much happening at the same time.Our land has been excavated and we wait for the slabs to be completed by the end of this week ,if it does not rain all week. "Fingers Crossed"

wohoooo..its all happening ;)

In all these days I have been researching a lot and i ll post all the inspiring ideas , i have collected so far..

With all smiles, Stay Tuned :P

Land Leveled and ready to be built on :)

The month of may

2011-06-07T23:26:00.000+10:00

May was a month of 31 days but for me it was a blink of an eye. From my Placements, Exams, Family, Friends Work, Appointments, Research, Decisions, & Plannings has been quite challenging for both of us but i am loving all the small hardwork we have put into it. and i guess thats how it works : You reap what You sow.

I cannot forget to thank my family and friends who has been consistently supporting and showing wonderful patience in our unavailabilities. much much much appreciated!!!

we had our house plan discussed with the builders and our new and updated house plan is here :

Catch up ..

2011-05-01T02:01:00.000+10:00

with so much to choose from, we have finally decided to settle somewhere we can build our own home. we are the first home buyers and first time bloggers. It wasn't very difficult to choose from the various options we had for the land and the builders because of BB's knowledge on this matter. So we came up with the idea of building with the finest builders in sydney : Eaden brae after comparing the designs and the layout of different display homes. we are building Saville 27 with Eaden Brae.
