Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- External painting 13/09/09 555Sep 13, 2009 9:41 pm Sorry, have been madly busy with work and the damn 2nd retaining wall (we want to have it finished before we move in) so haven't posted much. Bits and pieces have been happening: Ensuite full size mirror installed (sorry, forgot to take a pic of this), shower heads arrived and half installed, and the main thing, the external painting on underway! They've done the gloss coat of the front door in Ironstone, it looks great! So glad we ended up changing the colour as originally the front door was going to be the same colour as the cladding, I think it would have been too plain! The cladding has also been painted, the colour is Hayley's comet but it looks a bit white to me... we should maybe have gone for the colour match surfmist like the garage door... The house is really looking like a real house now, can't believe we should be in really soon, can't wait! One teasing pic here and a couple more on the blog... Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23 - http://erwisdomprosperity.blogspot.com/ Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- External painting 13/09/09 556Sep 14, 2009 6:38 am Looking great Jochicho, I love your front door and yeah I agree, it would've looked too wishy washy if it was white. I read somewhere ages ago that your front door should be a strong bold colour, so we went for a colour similar to monument (colorbond). I know that it will be heaps darker than anything else on the house, but we think that it will look mad . Great to see how well my adopted house is coming along Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- External painting 13/09/09 557Sep 14, 2009 8:03 am looking fantabulous, jochico! almost there now! Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- External painting 13/09/09 558Sep 14, 2009 8:05 am Oooooh I love your front door Jochicho....... We are having the same door & colour!!!We are also having grey tiles so I can see they go really well together.I agree with Fee you made the right decision in changing the colour...It looks stunning!

I agree, that was exactly what I said about the light colour for the front door... wishy/washy, specially next to the translucent glass, the glass would just melt into the colour of the door and it would not be noticeable... Very happy with the Ironstone colour! Monument... I had to check the colour as I didn't know which one it was, it's a dark grey, isn't it? I think it will look fantastic! a nice contrast! yep, your adopted house is growing and maturing for sure! Thanks, we are really happy with how is coming along too. cielly looking fantabulous, jochico! almost there now! Thanks Cielly! Yeah, can't wait! I hope I get a bit more sleep than Danma in her last few weeks/days though! JohnnyD Oooooh I love your front door Jochicho.......

Loretta Thanks Loretta! It's great when you get to see your choices working, isn't it? now you can cross that one off your colour stress list as it does work well! Yeah, glad we made the change too! I insisted (and glad I did so), hubby thought it would be ok with the other colour but was happy to change it too. principessa Looking more and more fab every day! Your bricks look good enough to eat!! I'm hungry Thanks Principessa! Steve - would you please feed your wife to be? She is so hungry that even wants to eat our bricks! poor thing!

I'll bet it's harder to sleep now since you'll be dreaming every night of the hand over date. Thanks Jordan! So far happy with our choices. I think the only two things left that we are not 100% sure about is the splashback (the famous Phantom) and the carpets but we shall see... Have started to dream about when handover might be and all the things we haven't done/organised!! Like TV antenna, blinds (have already purchased redi shades so that stress has been put on hold for a bit), and the most important thing of all: PACKING! haven't started and not sure when I will as I HATE it and we don't have space here for the boxes...

I love love love love your kitchen It's gorgeous! Makes me almost regret being boring and going for all white But great minds chose Phantom Thanks Fee!!! it's so funny, I was thinking yesterday (when the smokey sapelle was looking rather brown instead of the grey we wanted) that maybe we should have gone all white! Yep, great minds chose Phantom for sure! The guy from decoglaze told me that it's a very popular colour!

Black tiles in bathroom is the main thing oh also the roller door not sure it will be to much dune colour on the front of the house Jochicho 1sttimer Hi Jochicho, I like i like , think it all looks good together your kitchen has come up a treat.

Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- Glass splashback 15/09/09 571Sep 16, 2009 5:11 am I must say, Jochicho, that my adopted house is looking magnificant . Great colour choices. Will look gorgeous with the timber flooring. I must admit fee, a little touch of doubt flashed through my mind when I saw J's new kitchen, but I am obsessed with white (as you will come to know). I think you will be soo happy when you get to see your house and you'll love the colours you picked. So you picked phantom aswell? I have read that most people choose it. I have had some doubt with ours but noone seems to have picked it for us to see pics . 1sttimer, I am most excited to see your black tiles in the bathroom. I love them soo much (as well as the white version ). You had better post heaps of pics or I'm coming over and stalking your block too . Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- Glass splashback 15/09/09 572Sep 16, 2009 7:59 am looks fab, jochico! we went phantom too! and we're boring too, fee1, we're going all white Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- Glass splashback 15/09/09 573Sep 16, 2009 9:58 am oooohhhhh!!!!! looks slick....Luv it not long to go now Re: Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23- Glass splashback 15/09/09 574Sep 16, 2009 11:35 am The splashback looks great Jochicho..
