Hello everyone,
Im Issy, Im a newbie, and Ive been reading home one for about a couple of weeks now. This is my very first posts and I will be posting my updates and questions through here. First of all thank you for taking your time to read my post. Hope I get replies LOL.
Anyways my hubby and I have signed our PPA (late February) and we have "ages" til PreStart (which hopefully is in May) We're doing our PreStart before the Titles get issued (apparently thats weird) which is an estimated to be in August! we're eligible for the 22 weeks fast track that New Generation offers, so hopefully we'll be in our lovely home by Jan or Feb 2015!
Even though PreStart hasnt started, Some stuff have been easy to pick and some hasnt. For now, I am freaking out about the exterior colour schemes. Please HELP! LOL! I want a light coloured roof (preferably Surfmist, Windspray or Shale grey), thats a must (as we wont have aircon for a while), but for the renders Im thinking of Dark "appropriate" blue for feature and light blue for the rest of the walls, or dark grey (feature) and light grey (rest)..
1. Am I crazy to think of Blue and grey colour schemes for the house?
2. I think the garage door should somewhat match the front door colour yes? (btw Im thinking of Deep Ocean )
Please help me decide colours, I want it to look different (which is why I chose blue and light blue for renders but has anybody seen a gorgeous blue house? with bits of grey? I mean come on, im crazy right?
Ive also been researching and I found the colourbond online visualiser to help. but its not true to real life (if that makes sense ). It has somewhat helped (which is why i think blue and grey is not bad) but I need some other human (besides me and hubster) advice on colours! LOL!
Anyways to help with your replies:-
This is The Maxum from the outside:

The only difference with our Maxum is that it will be from left to right, house then garage.. and also double doors.
Now colour bond online visualisers. This is the closest design I think thats close to our house:

Btw paving will have to be Vista Pave in the colours Storm cloud with Tundra or SeaMist as trimmings.
