Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 17, 2010 10:58 am Has anyone used the Austral Homestead Tan Bricks with Black roof tiles, gutters, fascia, windows and garage door all in black, and even thinking of painting the front door black. If you have a pic I would love to see it - are really struggling with picking of colours for the facade and a pic would really really help. Many thanks in advance.

Not sure if our house will ever start, so cant promise pics Do you like "dark" houses?

Re: Homestead Tan Bricks with Black Roof, Gutter 5Feb 17, 2010 11:29 am Bam - our current house is dark bricks, with tannish tiles, gutters, fascia, windows - so this build we wanted to go with something different - driving around the new estates just havent seen any colour combos they we all agree on - then one afternoon we were driving around Hawkstowe and saw a house with bricks not quite as dark as ours with black roof, gutters, etc, etc and we all thought it looked great. As their bricks were not as dark we wanted to actually look at Homestead Tan as they colour of the brick can make a big difference to the overall look. JBdave - thanks for the pick, do you have off white mortar - we are having this as well. Kek - that would be great as we are constantly haunting Mernda Villages and would be able to visit the street if you find one. Many Thanks to all it really is appreciated.
