Well, now I have a bit of time up my sleeve, I thought it's about time I had a show and tell. We have a block of land in Eminence estate in Doreen that is about to title, and we are in the process of finalising our building contract with Bentley homes. So here are the bits and bobs we have so far.
Our land, then and now

Our house plan
http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p416/Lostris_01/land/House/HousePlan-1.jpg
We changed the plan a bit from the original, adding the study and store room to the front, adding a bath to the ensuite and changing the layout of the kitchen. here is the original plan http://www.bentleyhomes.com.au/Omega28Floorplan.pdf
My new kitchen. I love the extra storage I added with the extra drawers. Previously it only have one set of pot drawers under the cooktop and a bank of cutlery drawers

We haven't decided on tiles to rest of house or carpets yet, we will do this after handover. But I'm imagining charcoal carpets and a light to mid grey tile.
So thats all for now, I will update once we start to build!
