Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 19, 2015 5:16 pm Hi all, I'm on a mission to collect a series of photos of new homes to help people, including myself to make decisions about what colors and materials they want on their new home. What I would like to see is a photo with a description. For example you could include a list like this: EXTERIOR Roof: Bristileroofing Charcoal Gutter/Fascia: Colorbond Jasper/Dune Windows: A & L Windows Dune Brick: Austral Truffle Front door: Hume doors (color?) Render: (colour?) Cladding: (color?) Garage door: Colorbond Dune INTERIOR Kitchen bench: Ceasarstone Linen Kitchen cupboards: Polytec Belgian Oak and Polytec Marine Grey Matt Tiles: Beaumont Tiles Memento Carpet: ... Wall tiles in Ensuite: Beaumont (color...?) Paint: .... etc... Don't forget to include a photo. The more info the better. If you haven't completed your new home yet. You could still pitch in with a photo of what is done so far. Hope to see heaps of pics! UPDATE 16/1/17 We ended up choosing completely different colors to those noted above. I'll post images below.

There are some threads that sort of do this, but it would good to have more posts of photos cross-linked with the selections in them. Re: Facade and interior photos with descriptions 3Dec 20, 2015 1:22 pm I have a made some spreads of my colours for my design folder, more than happy to share: Our elevation is a mix of 3 Dale Alcock elevations, the Long Island, the Wisteria and Santa Monica. Throughout the house we are having Elka Laminate in light brown oak (except for the theatre) and Solver Kitty Grey paint.

That is awesome. Looks great! We're 2nd timers too. Have you started building yet? Could you also keep us posted with photos of your home as it comes together? Inside too?

We're waiting for titles to be released. I'll post photos as we build. In the mean time I'm looking around everywhere to find what I want in our home.

This is what we are thinking Bricks: Whitsunday orpheus Render Wall: Taubman's Gemini silver and Taubman's Light Pewter Roof: Boral Gunmetal Gutter and downpipes: Basalt/Monument Fascia: surfmist window, sliding door: black Garage: Surfmist Cladding: Taubman's Gemini Silver We are confused with our selection, any advice will be really appreciated. Thanks.. Re: Facade and interior photos with descriptions 7May 24, 2016 10:24 am Hey! We went with: Roof - Sambucca Gutters - Night Sky Windows - Night Sky Garage door - Surf Mist Bricks - Sorbetto Render - Tranquill Retreat Everything has been done but the garage door so it does give you a feel for the colours. The pics we have is on the blog: becandphilorion.blogspot.com/ Re: Facade and interior photos with descriptions 8May 24, 2016 10:28 am Similar colours to us there phil and Bec! Joelleg6 - don't know if you are still following, have only just seen your reply 6 months later! We are just about at lock up. Nis, personally I think fascia/gutters the same colour as your roof look more streamlined but each to their own.

The whole process for us has been slower than expected. The titles took forever to be released. We just finally got our building permit approved last week, so building for us should start soon. I love the finished result of your home! I looks great. I particularly like the facade and your kitchen! We ended up going very different colors to what we were originally considering. I can't wait for ours to also be finished. CONGRATS!!
