Re: Dune and Evening Haze Color - Front Façade RenderGeneral Discussion

Dune is a very popular one and looks great, we saw a Weeks display home that had dark bricks, dark stained wood door, and Dune and Solver Mouse render, looked terrific. Maybe google Solver Mouse if you can pick any colour, they looked terrific together. Not sure about the Evening haze, maybe try goo...

My guess would be its Colorbond Dune coloured render. Its a pretty popular render colour. But if this is a house near you or anything, you could grab a colorbond swatch card from Crowies and put it next to it, to be sure.

We're actually copying a Metricon kitchen we visited -the Lincoln, and believe it or not but it didn't look too busy, they used this exact mosaic. And we did this at our last house, a few yrs ago, as we loved it then too & it worked. I'll attach photos. Just since then Laminex have changed their...

Thanks for your recommendation, I definitely get what you mean & thought the Aged Walnut may be a little too strong and top heavy. Not sure if you could see the photos I attached, the mosaic does have some very dark bits, not sure if that would balance it enough. Hubby really likes the dark Aged...

Yes they should have to pay! The company I was working for had a plumbing devision and they had to sort out an issue at one house where the tilers had shoved adhesive & crap down the wet area pipes blocking it all up. Rivergum had to pay for it as it was their fault.

Hi guys, just wondered what colour overhead cupboards for the kitchen would work best with our other selections. Tossing up between Laminex 'Natural Walnut' and Laminex 'Aged Walnut'. If anyone has any comment, it'd be much appreciated. We are having a pretty decent 3.7m long kitchen and 3.5m island...

To be honest though, with the light fence on top , I actually love the colour your retaining wall already is. You could just try scrubbing off the dark marks, obviously they don't look great.

Just wondering if you can paint this type of block? I don't like the colour, I was thinking painting it a dark charcoal colour. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/98011_1653287507.jpg We had neighbours spray paint all their concrete sleepers in their yard, to match colorbond fence above it and a few ye...

Hi, has anyone used Australs Urban One Biscotti brick? Were you happy with it in the end (seen a few people admit it looked pretty different on the house than in the display). And does anyone have any photos they can share? https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/105683_1654223986.jpg
