Hi becs! Wow a daydream 32, thats big! You look like you have enough yard space for that floor plan!

If you get the formal approval from head office in the next few days, the start date should be about 2 weeks from your notification letter. Good luck and looking forward to following your build!

Thanks Vonsta. We have a good sized block 759m2. The payoff for this bigggish block was having the electrical easement on the front. Hubby doesn't want too much yard to mow, so hoping with our future plans for a pool and landscaping, the yard will be a perfect size. We have a great park just up the road from us and great footpaths all around our estate so think this kids. Particularly our youngest will spend a lot of time there Playing

Looking forward to seeing pics of that red door. Oldies is getting a red door too!

Yes! I must check out that colour, wildberry deluxe. (It sounds delicious!) Ours is just to match colorbond Manor Red. (gutters and garage door same colour)
I don't know if you have the same pool companies where you are. We are going with Leisure Pools Allure design. Have you chosen yours yet? That'll be the next excitement after the house is complete.

It will be great to see another red door. I have always loved red and when we went to Ireland a few years ago I loved all the gorgeous little cottages with the red doors. Whilst our home certainly isn't a little cottage, they are what set the inspiration for the colours. We have a large portico so I hope you can see it enough. We did some preliminary looking around at pool companies last year but have decided to wait to the build is finished before we start that. We did go to Leisure Pools ,( in fact my son goes to school with the kids of the owners of the local business),but really haven't decided.

Nice we have the white subway with grey grout in the pantry and laundry. I love the look of that too.

Thanks Tribe7. What is your thread. I would love to see it with the doors done. I bet they look fabulous.

Oh gosh please don't, my thread is stupidly long. You found the latest photos so that's a bonus the red doors are very cool, I had a ball painting them (and horrifying my neighbours ) I was a bit nervous about putting subway tiles on the end of the shower walls with herringbone in the middle but it seems to work. What have you selected for your bathroom tiling?

Main floor? Laminate or tile?

Don't forget we love pics, pop up pics of your internal selections if you have them

Thanks Charlibear.
So some of our Selectons:
Our main floor tiling, including portico and alfresco is this Heartwood white tile. We were wanting the plank, light wooden looking tiles but were so expensive so found these which I live and will be laid in a staggered brickbond pattern a bit like floor boards.  Like  ⋅  Add a comment  ⋅  Pin to Ideaboard  ⋅  Share

Our ensuite will be all charcoal using the Alaska Charcoal for all floors and wall. It's a bit bold but is a pretty big ensuite so have taken a risk with it. We haven't got any feature tiles here thinking the boldness will be a feature in itself. Bench tops in both bathrooms are Osprey caesarstone with New graphite cabinets.  Like  ⋅  Add a comment  ⋅  Pin to Ideaboard  ⋅  Share
For the main bathroom we have the same Alaskan Charcoal for the floor and bathhob but have chosen Cooper Grey tile for the walls. The Cooper Grey is very light grey, almost white with a slight texture.

Our laundry and pantry we'll
have New Graphite cupboards, with Pure Calcite benchtops and a slightly wavy white subway tile with dark grey grout.
Our portico will be rendered in endless Dusk. I am a bit worried about this colour. I wanted a very light grey and was talked into this by the colour consultant as she said it will look lighter in the sun. Inside we have gone safe, with the colour consultants suggestion again of snowing Mountains half for everything. Once again I am questioning this. I do like the colour but think I want a whiter white for architraves skirting and doors.
Has anyone managed to change their colours in consultation with their painters?

They are our main selections. We have kept it all pretty neutral. Am looking forward to decking out the kids rooms. Have lots of lovely accessories already.
Other things we have are our gorgeous concrete pendants for the kitchen, and laybuyed a beautiful concrete dining table and coffee table and funky lounge for the living area.
