Im going for a white/silver colour scheme because my favourite colour changes frequently - this way everything goes! Exterior: Face bricks: Austral Telfer Going to render a few months after handover as got family in the trade - was thinking charcole and something similar to dune for a bit of warmth (colour suggestions) Garage door - want to upgrade to wood stain colour - anyone know the costs to do this? front door - I like the idea of a cherry red front door but a bit scared to do it! Roof - Shale grey colourbond windows: Silver Luste Downpipes/gutter etc - Shale grey colourbond Pavers - silver or charcoal with opposite for border Garden layout: yellow sand out back and lawn patches out the front Kitchen: Splash Back - Lanka Plain Gloss White with stainless steel feature through the middle Bench Top - Ice crush - formica or butler stone - polytec (suggestions) Cupboard Doors - mega white - polytec Draws - mega white - polytec Kickboard - Brushed Aluminium - formica Floor - Vinyl wood plank - not sure what colour Hardware / Taps - ss standard alder mixer Handles - ss builders range - have not seen samples yet Lighting - ss down lights Ensuite: Shower: Lanka Plain Gloss White with stainless steel feature verically through the middle of shower Basin Splash back - Lanka Plain Gloss White tiles with stainless steel feature through the middle same as shower Bench Top - Tuscan Marble - formica or Dawn Grey - formica - (suggestions pls) Cupboard Doors - mega white - polytec Draws - mega white - polytec Kickboard - floor tiles Floor tiles - Waringa Stone Grey smooth finish Grout: grey for floor, white for walls Sink - a circular bowl type Taps - ss standard alder star taps Handles - ss builders range - have not seen samples yet Lighting - ss down lights Bathroom Shower: Lanka Plain Gloss White with either with Lanka Stricia Mocha verically through the middle of shower or plain Lanka Plain Gloss White - so no feat. what so ever (suggestions) Basin Splash back - same as shower Bench Top - Tuscan Marble - formica or Dawn Grey - formica - (suggestions) Cupboard Doors - mega white - polytec Draws - mega white - polytec Kickboard - floor tiles Floor tiles - Waringa Stone Grey smooth finish Grout: grey for floor, white for walls Taps - ss standard alder star taps Sinks - a circular bowl type Handles - ss builders range - have not seen samples yet Lighting - ss down lights Alternative to benchtops and doors for both bathrooms would be Silver Strata - formica doors and mega white top or reverse but im not sure on the texture for cleaning. Laundry will be the same as the bathroom but was thinking without the feature tile? Do you think its good to flow things, or mix it up abit?

Re: Opinions needed! 4Dec 21, 2009 8:09 pm Yes I Spose it's rather white! I was planning on getting bright coloured vases and pillows etc - maybe it's a bit stark? hoping the wood floor will add a bit of colour. I'd love a red splash back but I know in 3 years I'll regret it.

Do you have a plan layout you can show us? Go the cherry door but only if it goes with everything else Built with New Generation (Summit Homes) We own land!... with a slab on it! Plus a shell of a house with stuff inside ! Re: Opinions needed! 6Dec 21, 2009 10:06 pm Hi Candylea, I'm building with easystart (summit homes) couple of mins away from you - I'm in aubin gardens - stage 9. I wish I was close to moving in!! The land titles are due January (which means march!) and pre-start meeting after new years. I'd love a wood stained door but budget is tight, my partner wants a fire engine red door but I think that's a but nuts! If I go the cherry door, I think I'd get maroon plants and some yukkas. I can't attach the image of my plan tonight because I'm using my phone but will do for you tomorrow.

My excellent rep is Gary S. He's a friend of a friend gotta love contacts! What's even creepier is I applied for a job with summit awhile back but ended up getting a different job the day before the interview so had to decline. Perth is soo small!
