Building our first home in Baldivis - Blueprint Build

12.5 x 30 seems to be the new standard nowadays. We felt lucky snapping up a 12.5 x 32 when we spotted it on sale. We had one developer trying to convince us to buy a 7.5m frontage block

Prestart is coming up... Eeeek! These are the colours we are thinking for the bathroom floor tiles, bathroom wall tiles, cabinetry and stone for both Ensuite & Kitchen.

Any thoughts on a black mirrored splashback? Easy to clean..ect? Sent off for a quote with Walsh's glass to compare the prices at Prestart. Anyone know any prices? Absolutely love it!!!
