Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Jan 26, 2009 4:28 pm It seems that there can quite some confusion when choosing exterior colours. I was wondering if instead of searching through many different threads and posts if maybe forumites may like to simply make a list of their colour choices so that others could read of some nice combinations. No fuss, just a list of colours. I think Michelle made a handy sticky note to list colours?
What do others think? ---------- themax building with the big C. plans done heading for council soon. now choosing colours and madly packing...... Re: listing of exterior colour combinations. 3Jan 26, 2009 7:42 pm I'm another who thinks it is a great idea

I can kick us off Bricks - Austral Nougat Mortar - Off-white flush Render - Jasper Roof - Dune Gutters - Dune Downpipes - Dune Fascia - Surfmist Garage - Dune Front Doors - Dune Is that what you mean?

Re: listing of exterior colour combinations. 12Jan 28, 2009 6:31 pm Wanna House-To-Be - I'm so glad you put your colours up. I wasn't completely convinced about the bricks we chose but as they're the same as yours I'm perfectly happy now. Your house is gorgeous and just the look I was after Thanks Wanna, We are completely happy with our exterior. We were lucky in that we were able to see a house similar to ours with almost the same colours. It's hard trying to visualise it all though! If you want to see a house with Jarrah and off white mortar then look at this blog and scroll down to June 30 2008 and click on photo to enlarge. http://mmscremorne.blogspot.com/search? ... -results=7 melza09 Hope it will look ok..looking at the list it seams pretty boring.
