Our plans


As promised I have attached our floor plan. Here is some of the changes that we have made. I am so happy with the changes that we have made and for the price it will such an incredible home for us to grow into. 

Our mains reasons for choosing Beechwood was the incredible value for money and was exactly what we wanted! 

Our must haves were: 

- Open plan living, dining & kitchen 
- walk in pantry 
- outdoor entertaining area 
- large master bedroom with walk in robe 
-1200 front door 
- Decent sized bedrooms to bed 2, 3 & 4 
- Enough space on our block to fit a pool in at a later date 
- Freestanding bath tub 
- Wall hung vanities (this is still an ongoing issue!!)

The changes/upgrades that we made to the Vedelho Twist were: 

- Pavillion 3 facade 
- Small extension to the garage to provide space for shelving 
- Delete the garage storage area to increase the foyer 
- 1200 hume front door 
- close off access from foyer to linen closet and combine to make larger walk in pantry 
- Provide extension to ensuite to provide entry to ensuite via main bed instead of the walk in robe - close off access from walk in robe and provide a shelf and hanging rod in place 
- Provide a microwave shelf and pot drawer under the breakfast bar 
- Increase fridge space 
- Provide plumbing in fridge space 
- Floor to ceiling tiling to bathroom and ensuite 
- Remove bath so we can provide our own freestanding 
- remove vanities and all tap ware for property 
- Removed floor tiling to living, entry, kitchen etc (we will do our own after handover) 
- Stacker door to living 
- Extended bed 2,3 & 4 robes 
- $15,000 genesis package 
- under mount kitchen sink 
- shower niches to bathrooms 
- Timber look garage door 
- Timber look window frames to front facade only (the rest will be white) 
- changed walk in robe and laundry door to cavity sliding doors 
- added a door to section off hallway and living/dining area 
- Waterfall edges to kitchen cesear stone bench tops 
- Increase the theatre feature walls to 1700 to be the same size as the living area 

I can't wait till it's time to go do our colour selections as I am sure there will be many more upgrades to come! 


For our home we are going for grey tones throughout. We are hoping our facade turns out a little something like this: 


We have selected the brick Austral Whitsunday "Keswick" and our roof will be Colorbond "Monument". I can even begin to describe how nerve racking it is choosing your colours and not knowing if it will all go together. Fingers crossed it turns out to what we have been imagining.

  1. Kaitlyn really like you plan and your upgrades sound fabulicious, very similar to upgrades we have chosen! What stage are you up to? We only registered on the 8/8 and are still waiting on BW to complete the contours and send off to CDC, I really hope it won't take much longer as we are busting to start!
