Re: Opinions on Colour Selections please - Acreage HomeInterior Decorating Lounge

Feb 06, 2010 11:01 pm

Hello again I just wanted to thank you all for your replies and input, and to let you know where we are at. After some deliberation (and an email exchange with Michelle), we decided to call in a colour consultant and get some professional advice. He met us at the tile shop today - we selected the ba...

Re: Polytec Thermolaminated DoorsKitchen Corner

Feb 06, 2010 10:52 pm

We were set on Polytec Vinyl Wrap doors, until we met with a colour consultant today. He said that he's seen many kitchens where the doors start to "unwrap" over time, and strongly suggested that we go with Laminex, as the product is hardwearing and will still look good in 15 years. We are...

Hi Hammerhead Thanks so much for your reply. This is SO hard....we are still up in the air with everything. I know exactly what you're saying re. the window frames, but I don't know whether I'd be happy with any other colour, as I really want that white shutters look. Our block is 1.5 acres (so I gu...

Hi Lea. Had a look at your blog - looks great! There's a thread at the top of this forum that you can add your link to. What are you going to do about your benchtop issue? Gee it's a tough one! Were you getting laminex in the laundry, and now they're offering stone?

Hi Michelle and other fellow forum members I am another one of those “long time lurkers” who is coming out of the woodwork to seek colour advice for our acreage home that is soon to get underway. A copy of the exterior design concept for the house is attached. Basically, the house will be fully rend...

Thanks for your reply SC! Yes, that does look darker at the back. I actually grabbed some sample pots today and am going to paint some gyprock with a few different colours - Foxtail being one of them. Thanks so much for offering to take some more snaps. I will watch your thread and blog for further ...

Hi Stonecutter Your house is looking really lovely! I love the sandstone, and can't wait to see your Capsicum Red go on to the front! We are in the colour selection phase, and have chosen Taubmans "Foxtail" as our main render colour. I did a search on Foxtail, and of course your thread cam...

Hi Nightshade Will be watching your build with interest. We were initially interested in building the Liberty (as you can probably gather from my username) but we are now going down a different path with a custom builder. I should give you my username! Anyway, things are looking great so far. Will l...

Hi All :) I was hanging around the forums about a year ago, when we were looking at a suburban Brisbane block and were set on building the Liberty with Metr$con. Since then, we have re-thought the entire process and have just secured 1.5 acres on the outskirts of Brisbane and have decided to go down...

Nic - congrats on your frame! It looks amazing. I agree with Jet - once it gets sheeted out you will have a better feel for the dimensions. It really is deceptive at the frame stage. :)

Congratulations bmp! I have only been reading this forum for a month or so, but I have watched your progress closely. We are also building in Brisbane, and after initially thinking M, we are now leaning towards Adenbrook. We went out and saw the Hawthorne display yesterday, and we are impressed! Tha...

Dec 07, 2007 3:39 pm

:shock: Eeeek we are at the very beginning of the process (still trying to get a suitable block of land) but have been thinking M3tricon. Thank you for this info. 5 months of construction time with no bricking is just appalling. Which design are you building? A finished product by 19th January?? I'd...

:lol: VJ! Yes, it's the Liberty! We are putting our $1,500 deposit down with Metr9con today to lock some of the pricing, but we don't even have land yet! I hope we can get a suitable block and get this ball rolling. But yes, we love the Liberty!

Suitability of Land - Does "Fill" cause any probleBuilding A New House

Nov 23, 2007 2:39 pm

I'm not an expert with any of this, but my understanding is that all of the blocks are designed to be "level" and ready to build on. At least, this is what they claimed in Stage 1 (where expressions of interest have already been taken). The fill is only within the front 1/4 of the block. We understa...

Nov 23, 2007 12:15 pm

Hello again Thank you for the advice so far. Just a few clarifying details. This land hasn’t actually been developed yet. The "goldrush" for land around here is unbelievable. The way that the release is working, is that they are taking $1,000 “Expressions of Interest” on the land – site unseen. The ...

Hi there I have been lurking on this site for a week or so, and must say that it is a brilliant resource! We live on the northside of Brisbane. After swinging backwards and forwards about adding an extension onto our current home vs. building a new home, we have finally made the decision to start fr...
