Zen, we’re also trying to decide on bricks - we really like Espresso but I do worry about chipping so we’re also considering Whitsunday Orpheus from Austral. It’s slightly lighter but is more of a solid colour through the brick and is standard in the range. So I think we need to drive past a few more houses before we decide. We also love the Rawson Balmoral facade and has definitely been our inspiration too! We’re also doing Monument windows. We feel it’s a bit softer than black and adds a bit of drama to the room. and we’re planning on partial render on the facade with probably Surfmist and a mid grey with a timber door and possibly timber look garage door. We’re doing the same facade as Ally Brian but on a modified Elyse 38. And prob with a rendered balcony wall instead of the timber though I do love the timber. So thank you Ally Brian for sharing yours. It looks great!
tand, at this stage we’re planning on using Snow Caesarstone which I am a little nervous about re stains as I’ve read mixed reviews too but it really is the look we want so will just have to make it work. We have Caesarstone at the moment. I think it’s the Linen colour so more of a tan and I’ve thrown 2 glasses of red wine over it and both times it’s come out completely. We’ve also had rust stains and beetroot. I’ve hit it with Jiff which they say don’t use as it can dull the surface but they sell a specific cleaner they say is good for removing stains so may be worth the investment while it’s new and you’re getting use to it. good luck with your selections!
Seren!ty, how are you going now you’re all settled in? Have you needed to get H&H back for much?
Also can someone please message me the Lane cove Street the house is in that’s being built? We have one being built near us but there’s something going on with it as nothing has happened for at least a month or two. It’s made me a little nervous but hopefully it’s an issue with the owner and not H&H.

Thanks!
Hi Jacks, We have our tender presentation after 6 weeks from the date of we paid $1000 tender fee. Yes, it is hard to do selection until the detail floor plan presented. Chris is one of the Hall & Hart Director, and he is the one who prepared the tender and estimated the cost during the tender stage. The hardwood will look very nice on the Elyse, good choice! Wish you have a smooth start. Where are you build your new home? Is it KDR? Thanks!
