So I'm venturing out and building my first home!
I'm building at the end of the year at Warner Lakes in Queensland. I figured it would pay to draw on the knowledge of others who may have been here before!
External Colours
Firstly, I would love your opinions on external colours. I've thought about what I want, and I do like light colours - both because they help make the house look larger, and they make it cool! I've had a play with envisage and come up with this colour scheme:

I would love your feedback and comments on that? Anything you would tweak? Obviously that specific house design is not the same as the one I'm building, but it's close - maybe without the extra room on the right
Internal Extras
The next area of help I would love is in optional extra's.
Before we start, I have chosen the 'Perry 205' design by Bold Properties.

Here are some things I'm doing already:
* Raising ceiling to 2550mm.
* Double basin in ensuite.
* Larger shower in ensuite (1.5m length)
Without spending a fortune, what *must haves* do you recommend? I had one person suggest soundproofing material to the walls of the master bedroom, which apparently can be done for a few hundred dollars. Sounds interesting. Any other ideas?
Any other hints and tips in general???
Thanks in advance!
