Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

Thanks Yvonne!

So they installed the garage door on Friday (we think) but they left it up as there was no power. But today they closed it for us. So now we have an almost proper facade!

I'm fascinated by how the colour changes in the different light.

Beautiful Trixee! Can't wait to see it with the front door all done!

Your colours are the perfect foil for some greenery!! It will look lovely What colour are you painting the front door?

Thanks all!

HBTW, Trees, Nikki - Yes that front door colour is beginning to get tiresome, can't wait til it's done! It will be painted Monument, same colour as the fascia.

Just heard that benchtops should be going in tomorrow! Taking that with a pinch of salt, but you never know...

The front elevation looks amazing trixee!

We are thinking of (re)painting our doors in monument so can't wait to see yours painted. The facade looks lovely. I love a good gable end.

Looks great Trixee.

Looking forward to seeing your benchtops.

Trixee, it's coming along so well.... The front has come up a treat.!

Having gone through the building journey, I'm always checking out any new build that I pass! On our travels over the weekend, I think we drove past your new house. It was one of those moments where you double take and felt like déjà vu! I remembered where I'd seen that imagine before...anyway, hope that's not too creepy....but just wanted to say it looks every bit as good as it does in the pics! Wishing you a speedy end to the journey.

Thanks D_rail! Haha, no it's not creepy, we're on a busy road so it's not surprising that someone would drive past and recognise it. I wish they'd get rid of the pile of excavated dirt so it would look nicer though!

And admodra, now that you mention it, yes, we do have benchtops! I'm not allowed to blog about it until it's properly finished off, but I think my forum peeps are entitled to a sneak peek

Be warned... it's a bit bold... and still rather dirty...

This is the kitchen:

The splashback is a serious attention hog! Love the way the white stone also reflects the splashback. We're also planning on changing the face plate of that under-bench power point.

This is the ensuite:

We're not overly convinced the marble matches the vanity but it looks OK and we're fine with it.

And in a similar vein, the bar:

Thanks HBTW, I'm pretty pleased with the splashback. Though I suspect it will be love it or hate it for a lot of people.
The marble in the ensuite looks OK as long as the sun isn't shining on it, for some reason it gives off a brown tone in the afternoons. I don't think it clashes, but perhaps a plain white would have worked better with the tiles. Might look different again once the basins are in though.
