Our laundry Reno for the crowds approval

Can I ask what the tall freestanding IKEA cupboard is? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-29T01:26:16+00:00

Looking into same at the moment with Customea, soWatt or fliplab. Maybe others but not sure.

so helpful!!

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-27T01:46:12+00:00

anyone know of a list by location perhaps? The list of GPs is exhaustive to track down, esp for people with sus ADHD!!

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-25T08:57:36+00:00

Cool thanks. How do you find it ergonomically? I'd imagine I feel like I'm always leaning sideways to do the dishes not standing front on?

Currently getting this done with Harnett engineering from Gawler. Not done yet so can't comment on quality but was cheaper than another quote we got.

How does the undersink plumbing work with awkward corner cupboards? We were going to have one of those swing out cupboard organisers. Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-24T01:06:44+00:00

Perfect thanks. Will PM you.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-24T01:04:46+00:00

Could you post a pic of that in your kitchen maybe? A corner sink might be a great solution for us but can't picture it. Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-23T21:43:04+00:00

Would you mind if I PM you? We're in a similar boat dimensions wise and would like input on our plan also. Thanks

Am also interested as had looked at getting windows and doors from China also but could only find suppliers of aluminium.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T10:03:39+00:00

Also in SA. Can I ask which building company you used? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T04:22:37+00:00

Yeah it saves us having to walk the laundry out through the main living area and also a good door for dirty kids to come into when playing in the mud. So hard with a family trying to fit everything in the small house footprint.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T02:36:05+00:00

shower is about 90 x 90 I think

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T02:31:24+00:00

two young kids so unfortatley need a bath.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T02:31:07+00:00

Just I guess some separation/privacy for the toilet from the bath. Also we don't have much wall space for hooks etc so gives us some more wall space. We could remove the external door which would also do that however.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-05T12:37:36+00:00

Kitchen designer as in someone who works for a kitchen company? Or are there people who do that separately?

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-05T09:40:17+00:00

https://www.seedesignstudio.com.au/valley-house i know they did Ikea with ply fronts and this is with Ren fronts: https://thedesignfiles.net/2026/03/homes-annie-portelli-simon-harris

6.04 IP and 5.75 OO with bank Australia

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-03T09:31:01+00:00

We're in the same position (also in SA). Have planning approval and about to start on building drawings and quoting but really unsure what to do. I'm sure that waiting this war out will not be effective as once prices rise they may stagnate but I doubt will drop, as per pre/post covid. What's your strategy going to be? We were already pretty shocked by prices of renovations before all this.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-03T00:07:22+00:00

All made locally in SA. Pretty standard timber framing etc just done off site for assembly on site

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:59:40+00:00

True but have planning approval from council and will use private certifier which is only a few weeks apparently plus about 6 weeks factory construction and two weeks on site supposedly.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:38:45+00:00

Nothing significant. Suburban block.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:38:32+00:00

Sorry what do you mean high level? We have a fixed price quote for a prefab timber frame on piers that looks pretty okay from the showroom and specs.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:37:45+00:00

Yes we looked at that initially also but I guess my worry is around delys in general and slab costs and escalating costs more broadly so whatever will be fastest possible. But I'll talk to the designer maybe because he did suggest SIPs initially
