Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First Home Owner - Building in Springfield Rise 31Sep 25, 2017 10:12 pm I've decided colours is definitely a stressful stage haha. I don't want to get anything wrong and it's so hard to commit to something! We're struggling over going with tiles or taking the upgrade to timber flooring she's offering to throw in. My problem is that I'm in love with the big 600x600 and 300x600 tiles, but we got a quote back on upgrading to those and we really can't afford to stretch the budget that much. I had semi planned the kitchen based on going with 600x600 white tiles (white and wood look cabinets and using white/timber furniture) and now I'm starting to look at color schemes to match timber flooring so we have an option for both. Any ideas? I've been on pinterest all weekend and I'm still no further along than when I started haha. Just discovering more and more things I love but can't afford to do .

I always say monochrome Haha coz I love monochrome. You could do a walnut colour wood and dark cabinetry: https://au.pinterest.com/pin/473089135848009953/ But I assume you probably like lighter colours. Could do the same thing but white instead of black.

Lol Re: First Home Owner - Building in Springfield Rise 39Sep 26, 2017 5:26 pm bananarama Not as incredible as your rugged concrete bench top! Lol Hahaha... yes.. well... it will be pretty sweet, I'm not gonna lie Hopefully it doesnt clash with the concrete floor though. That's the only worry - if it looks odd having two different "concretes". Sounds like you have lots of pendants though.. I'm very envious Re: First Home Owner - Building in Springfield Rise 40Oct 03, 2017 10:25 pm Sorry I've been a bit MIA, but can confirm we are official! Signed all the paperwork on Sunday! Just organising finance and then hopefully some full works drawings in the next few weeks. We've definitely taking a liking to minimalist/monochrome themes and now I think we're leaning towards basically fifty shades of grey haha! Actually went and saw the rugged concrete caesarstone and fell in love but we can't totally destroy our budget haha. So might have to settle for something else So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
