Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 19, 2012 7:30 pm After "stalking" so many other threads for so long, I've decided to start my own. We have just signed with DFH and have selected an altered version on the Murchison 321 to put on our 1 acre block. So I've spent the last three weeks up to my arm pits in colour charts, caesar stone samples and boral catalogues! I thought I had it all worked out, til DH decided he had an opinion! My major dilemma today is whether to go with a light or dark coloured garage. Bricks are likely to be boral Jarrah (or maybe an upgraded red), while roof will be Colorbond ironstone. Our portico and one bedroom are to be rendered. I had planned to use Dune for the garage, but DH wants ironstone. Any thoughts will be greatfully received! Re: Building DFH Murchison 4Jan 14, 2013 6:49 pm My colour selection appointment was actually relatively painfree! I went solo as DH decided that he trusted my opinion based on the choices I'd made when we renovated this house. Yay - free run! So I chose: Roof - Colorbond Ironstone Gutters - Ironstone Fascia - Dune Windows - Dune Bricks - Boral Jarrah Garage - Dune Internal wall paint - Wattyl Confetti Shower Trims, doors, ceilings - Wattle Chalkdust Kitchen and vanity benchtops - Caesarstone ice snow All cabinets - Wilsonart White Lace Laundry Benchtops - Wilsonart Frosty white Mirage Floors - Embleton Bamboo in Coffee Carpet - Choices brease - Colour TBC Tapware - Bastow Georgian in chrome from Reece I've forgotten how to post pics though....
