My partner and I are building on 170acres in the beautiful south west of WA. We are up to the roof stage but have had some problems that we are waiting to be fixed so we can start on the inside. I thank you guys again coz without you I would not be so aware of the rollercoaster of emotions that go with building. You want to be happy but you feel so damn mad at the same time!!
I will hopefully get you up to date with our journey so far with.. YES!!.. pictures.

Our Colorbond moment.. Woodland grey roof and gutters. Paperbark fascias and garage. Stormfront windows. Exposed timber will all be paperbark also. Western red cedar front doors. Hopefully will come together alright. Bricks are super wet and dirty, and look much darker than they will be.

Kitchen colours- Benchtop Essastone terrazzo. Just love the earthy grey and caramel chips through this. Kitchen cupboards are Platinum Micro which I am yet to see a photo of in a kitchen and would love to see any if you have them. Super colour-changes with light and angles from stone to greige! Splashback will be white gloss 300x600mm tiles. Flooring throughout main living area/kitchen underneath swatches minus the yellow tinge!

Main bathroom. Benchtop- Platinum Micro, Cupboards- Charred Oak(horizontal grain), Floor tile-Chocolate Ocre 200x200 (underneath swatches), Wall tile-White gloss 200x400. Absolutely loved the floor tile colour and texture but couldn't get in any larger size so had to either change it or bite the bullet! Reckon it should be fine!

Ensuite. Benchtop-Stipple Seal, Cupboards-Gesso Lini (horizontal grain), Wall and floor tiles Baveno beige, which is what you all call greige. No granny beige for me! Wanted a sexy bathroom so hoping it works!

And to finish off my all in one progress update, I have to share how truly lucky we are. I was walking our dogs the other night and happened upon this picture... am sure it is worth the years that have gone into endless fencing and improvements, and the long wait to begin building! Just Wow! Thanks again everyone. I will try to keep you posted as we continue the ride...
