But after seeing our garage door go in and quickly realised white render was going to make the shale grey look washed out. So we have decided to go dark on our render and a mid grey on our weather boards. We just don’t want to be too white and bright now we have seen it in construction. And think the colour will give your roof and garage door more depth. So our front render colour will now be Dulux ticking. And our weatherboards will be in Dulux Simone Weil. We will have bright white plantation shutters in our front windows. And white feature lights for the facade. So hopefully they will pop and create contrast. Ahh such a gamble I hope it pays off! 😳🤞🏼 Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 466Jul 09, 2018 9:01 pm Oh I love that you tested them out on the render. Much easier and cheaper to change your mind now rather than see the original go up and change then Will be a good contrast between your garage door and the roof for sure now. Excited to see it be finished Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 467Jul 09, 2018 11:42 pm Lol hubby and I sat down tonight to go over the paint choices we made today. Now he is thinking lexicon half render would be a safer option then Dulux ticking. I think he may be right. I don’t know why I’m so worried about the original choices we made. I should of just stayed with my original choices and stopped worrying. Lol I just don’t want to hate the colours and have to paint them straight away. So tomorrow I’m going to duck down to Bunnings and buy a pot of lexicon half to paint onto the render to compare. And we will go with the mid grey colour for the weatherboards. 🙏🙏🤞🏼🏡🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 468Jul 10, 2018 8:16 am I think you guys could be right. The dark render might overpower the house too much Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 469Jul 10, 2018 6:08 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Round two of painting tests. These are our original choices which we have decided to stick with finally. The painter is finishing off our neighbours house and will be hopefully at our house next week sometime. The colours are Shale grey weatherboards, garage and roof. Lexicon half render. And we are having dark walnut stain on front door. 😊 Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 472Jul 10, 2018 8:14 pm mj-mac4 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Round two of painting tests.

Should look great. Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 475Jul 15, 2018 11:04 pm Looks great. Really pushing along now. 😀😀 Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 476Jul 16, 2018 11:54 am ah look at those subway tiles are you going white grout?
