Personalising the House

Now that we had chosen the house we needed to think about the personalisations we would need to make the house a home for us.

This is what we came up with:

• Double glazing to all window
• Refrigerative cooling
• Additional thermostat for heating and cooling to be placed upstairs
• Double doors to study (to be play room)
• Make alcove in hallway (opposite laundry) into coat cupboard
• Open up pantry to create a butlers pantry
• Wide kitchen window over bench top in lieu of splash back 
• Extend living area and alfresco by 1 metre
• Increase width of island bench by 0.5 metres
• Additional cabinets to rear of island bench
• Balastrading to stairs to be wrought iron
• Bamboo floors to ground floor (except laundry and powered room- tiles and study and lounge- carpet)
• Extend bench top in laundry to go over dryer space
• Extend rumpus room by 1 metre
• Add rain water shower head to master ensuite
• Create walk in linen next to bedroom 3
• Convert existing wardrobe in bedroom 3 to a walk in
• Increase ceiling hight and hence door/window heights
• Extend width of garage by 2 metres
• Add a colorbond roller to door to the rear of the garage
• 10,00 L water tank to be plumbed to toilets and laundry (as per land covanent)
• Exposed aggregate driveway
• Upgrade to grande facade

We also considered removing the bathroom to bedroom 4 but decided the credit back wasn't really worth it.

So as you can see from our list above we had a lot go over with our PWC but our sales consultant was very accommodating and helped us get to where we needed to be.
