Hi Michelle! I have been lurking around the forum for months now and really enjoy reading all your posts - you are such a wealth of knowledge! I can't believe that now it's finally my turn to say - 'Help Michelle! I need your expertise with my colours!!!!"
We are still undecided on our bricks but have narrowed them down to two choices - Boral Sydneytown and Boral Sandalwood.

I have been concentrating on the Sydneytown today, trying to work out all my colours to go with it and would love your opinions! I'm sort of flying blind, with a husband who couldn't really give a continental about 'these sorts of things'!!!
Brick: Boral Sydneytown
Mortar: Have a choice of white or yellow??
Roof Tiles: Bristile Sanctuary
Guttering: Colourbond Woodland Grey
Fascia: Colourbond Classic Cream
Windows: Colourbond Woodland Grey
Front Door: Woodland Grey
Garage Door: Woodland Grey
Render: Maybe Wattyl Tender Beige, Brushed Softly or Moroccan Stone
I guess the look I'm trying for is something that isn't too 'blah'. The bricks are quite light I suppose, so that's why I've done a lot of contrasting in the grey.
The above photo is of a house that Boral sent us to made of Sydneytown. I feel like it's too 'blah', hence above!
I can't wait to hear what you think and what other great ideas you may have! No rush, whenever you get a chance! Now I might go and get stuck into the Sandalwood!!!
Thanks heaps!
