Or message me and I'll give you the direct email contact of the wonderful sales lady After falling in love with their plans, I decided to build with Bold Properties! They have been absolutely wonderful so far and are extremely warm and helpful. A far cry from other pushier sales people. Bold's designs are economical, practical and charming! Everything has been thought out and there is very little wasted space. They are also completely up front with every cost and quote on a *real* turn-key price for each of their plans. After initially gravitating towards their 'Aurora' design, I ended up choosing the slightly smaller 'Perry 205' after seeing one in real life! A simple, yet beautiful design which fits my needs and block perfectly. Here's the 3D Render as found on their site (No, my house won't look like that - refer to my own colour selections later!). And the floor plan! All so very practical and checked every box on my list! I wanted a house with a bedroom away from the street, and also away from the other bedrooms. I wanted a free, open living area and easy access to the rear patio. I made a few changes and modifications, as well as a few upgrades and here's the final working plans!

I wanted my house to have a light, breezy feel, yet still have a bit of flair I worked on some mock-ups and envisage renders of what I wanted in the house, then very wisely requested the assistance of a family friend (female) for the kitchen and ensuite colours. Being male, I decided having some feminine input would be a good thing - especially considering I was stuck for ideas with the kitchen and ensuite Here's a few pics of the final selections (see the full details below). Tile on the right is 'Gloss Sandstone' - to be used through all main living areas, kitchen, and floors of bathrooms etc. Center tile is 'Matt Chocolate' and one of the feature tiles for the bathrooms. The tile on the left is to be used on the walls in the Ensuite And for the external, here's a mock-up using the colours chosen (No, this isn't my house design, but it looks similar and gives a general indication of colour) External: Roof: Bristile Flat Shake tile - 'Classic Birch' Brick: Austral Plantation Range - 'Kumbia' Facia: Colorbond - 'Bushland' Gutter: Colorbond - 'Bushland' Garage: Colorbond - 'Evening Haze' Windows: Power Coated - 'Architectural White' Insect Screens: White surrounds. Front Door: 'Loft' Downpipes: Solver - 'Parchment'. Interior: Tiles: (as pictured on right) 'Gloss Sandstone'. Paint: Dulux - 'White Watsonia' Carpet: Kings Square 'Coffee 110'. Robes: 'Glacier'. Robe Frames: 'Architectural White'. Kitchen: Benchtop: Laminex 'Lunar Stone' Diamond Gloss Cupboards: Laminex 'Nocturne Oak' natural finish Splashback: 100x400 'Matt Sand' Tiles. Bathrooms: Benchtop: Laminex 'Nocturne Oak' natural finish. Sides: Laminex 'Nocturne Oak' natural finish. Floor: 'Gloss Sandstone' Bath Surround: 'Matt Chocolate'.

Woo!! Things are really moving now! Still waiting for the results of the tests, but it seems someone must have snuck out to the block already to take samples!
