If you go to www.haymespaint.com.au and go to their online colour selector you will see most of the colours there. Also Paintspot stores have Haymes colour cards.

We are on the 9th of June. Can't wait to hear how you go!! Re: our CoLumbia.. colours / mock up facade!! 106May 26, 2010 12:30 pm Hey Laney... I love the sound of your colors.. We were going to have simular colours(Darker brick and roof) but I think were going for a lighter roof as Im worried about the house being hot in summer...Have you seen the house next to us?..Talk about it being cream..lol Let us know if you hear anything about the titles... Hope you are well... Re: our CoLumbia.. colours / mock up facade!! 107May 26, 2010 12:47 pm Colours sound good We're having similar colours for the bricks and roof. Although I chose Brown Terrain to begin with, when we saw it on an actual house we didn't like it so much. So we chose Brushwood instead. I'd like Charcoal Grey for the roof but I think that's an upgrade, and I think Gunmetal is really similar to Charcoal Grey. So may just go with Gunmetal. In more exciting news... after 8 weeks of waiting, waiting, and more waiting, we now have booked a colour appointment! It's 5 weeks away though - 2nd of July. We're still waiting on contracts though. I'm hating all this waiting! Good luck with your colour selections. What cupboards and benchtops are you choosing? Re: our CoLumbia.. colours / mock up facade!! 108Jun 01, 2010 8:38 pm we have colours in 2 sleeps!!! SOOOO NERVOUS!! would greatly appreciate any pics of bathrooms with a dark floor and white wall tiles!! Kitchen: white cabinetry with off white marble benchtops!!!!

How exciting Did you guys visit the tile shops already? We've been about 4 times now and still can't decide what tiles to choose. We're going for a similar colour scheme to you. Dark floor tiles with white wall tiles. We may also have a feature strip running up the shower. We'll be making an appointment with them to detail exactly how we want the tiles laid. I don't have any pictures of what you want. Maybe try doing a google search, or buy some magazines. I'll be doing that closer to my appointment. Anyway, good luck with it all! Re: our CoLumbia.. help with pics please please please!!! 114Jun 03, 2010 12:05 am hey laney been following you post. just wanted to wish you luck with colour chioces. when they offer you coffee ..take it. youll be in for a few hours. dont rush!! and ask about upgrading everything. its quite cheap to upgrade some stuff i.e. doors and door handles and they will make the house look sooo much better. i cant wait to do mine again.....suppose i better get this house built first hehe let us know how it all goes!!

I bet ur glad its done... Cant wait to see what u've chosen! Have a great weekend.. Re: our CoLumbia.. help with pics please please please!!! 117Jun 06, 2010 11:20 pm Hey Laney, So how did the colour consult go? Hope it went well and not too overwhelming! I know I'd probably crack under the pressure. Let us know how it went Re: our CoLumbia.. coLour seLections!! 118Jun 13, 2010 10:14 am goodness meeeee!! Haven't been on here in soooo long! Trying to confirm my colour choices, for the kitchen we have chosen designer white cabinetry.. however for the benchtops (wilsonart laminate) i CANNOT decide between the following, titanium EV, Graphite nebula, white nebula, cloud nebula, galatic black and luna shadow!! Wish i could upload photos on the damn apple mac! SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!! Now for the furniture front, as we love our september, october and november months of entertaining, going out to spring carnival, this is our party time of the year we think it may be wise to look at furniture early and put on lay-by or whatever this pay off gradually term is called these days!! So we are thinking this beautiful 3 seater with chaise and corner chair so probably 6 seats in total with cushions, scatter cushions and ottoman for $1999 from ex display (the build it brand new) in dandenong!! I have been looking at furniture for ages on the net and going into stores however this is the first both Liam and I fall in love with the same piece of furniture!! I don't know if this is super expensive or it's ok to spend this amount? Also I'm thinking of buying a dining table with bench seats!! Will i regret this choice later?? I don't think i will, I also think if i dislike the bench seats then we can buy dining chairs later on and use the bench seats as extra seating for our outdoor entertaining!! I wish i knew how to load pics it would make it so much easier!!!!!! Will post final colours tomorrow!! GOSH WAS COLOURS THE MOST FUN I HAVE HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CMON AUSSIES!! I'm sleep deprived too much sport this weekend!! Laney Our Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=30685 Re: our CoLumbia..

COLOURS AND FURNITURE ADVICE REQ!! 120Jun 17, 2010 1:51 pm Well Done Laney. Like the sound of ur colors...Are most the benchtops a Darker color, What did u decide for the bathroom? Did you decide to give the Madagascar a miss??.My hubby loves the look of it. I am wanting a darker color for our kitchen cause its quite large and want some seperation between family/dining/kichen. Let us know what u ended up deciding.. I havent heard anything in regards to the titles yet... But if u have been down to look ..the road is fully finished. There is something peculiar at the end of the street. Apparently a Aboriginal heratige site. so unsure what they will put there. Hopefully a nice park. Hope you are both well.
