Thanks for your input in relation to the pendants... now that i have your attention would love to get your input on the facade as well... ...the first picture again is from the display home we visited... my husband loves it... but i am not really keen on the idea of having red bricks as i find them too common and want to go for something a bit different.. ...the 2nd picture is of another display home.... love the dark bricks here... with the lighter rendering in the back.... i was thinking we could go for dark colored front door and garage to go with the darker bricks... something like jasper perhaps.... wat do you think??? ... any other new color ideas you can give me to work with???

And to me it looks great!
Second one looks good also. But I feel the mortar joints stand out too much with this brick. I have to say I prefer the first one, but this again comes back the timber work complementing it. You need to give thought on what will be going on in the front so you can tie it all together.

We also want to get a 'Jasper' front door and matching garage, we are looking at a brown brick called 'Newport' from Austral's Melbourne series - have a look and see what you think Re: Facade colors... what do you think? 4Mar 18, 2008 7:29 pm thanx for you input Michelle & haywgl..... will surely keep it in mind when we make the final decisions....
my husband is dancing arnd the living... hehe... ...but okk.... u need to subtract two things from the first one.... there are two upgrades there.... firstly we won't be getting the timber flooring done as my hubby thinks its not too practical... and as our lot is flat...we definitely won't have steps... ...also the stone pillars are an upgrade here... ours will be with the standard bricks.... so now wat do u think?... all votes still for the first one?... Re: Facade colors... what do you think? 5Mar 18, 2008 7:32 pm Whilst doing any colour selection you need to visualise the finished product!
When doing externals, this is most important. If you do a great job on the colour scheme, then fall short on the landscaping it could ruin the whole effect.

Looks like hubby will be doing the march after this………………. Still go the first one. Sorry Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Facade colors... what do you think? 7Mar 18, 2008 7:39 pm Ok…..theory behind my decision.
The dark brick is too much of a contrast to the neutral wall colours, Red brick is a natural colour which will complement any other element. I hope you understand this?

Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Facade colors... what do you think? 11Mar 18, 2008 7:56 pm Michelle... the range that we saw at the Color selection center was from Austral... would really appreciate it if you can suggest any color from their range along with complimenting color options for rendering... and i'll try to match it at the color selection....
Haywgl... I actually did see your thread and love the colors of your bricks as well.... but then not sure what color rendering would compliment it well Re: Facade colors... what do you think? 12Mar 18, 2008 8:03 pm MKR to make my job easier…. I like to have members supply me with the brick website.
I JUST LOOKED….THERE ARE A FEW AVILABLE! If you could source this for me, I will complement the bricks with a paint colour for you. Thanks! Sorry + pick a brick for you.
