Will be a laminate bench top with waterfall ends and thinking something like the Ebony Marble http://www.laminex.com.au/colour-palett ... ony-marble Just has a look at your blog and like the style board idea to get a nice picture of what is happening in each room....thinking i will steal this idea. Are you far off starting construction? Thanks, Sounds really nice! We're going with a waterfall bench too - Love them! We've got no idea when settlement will be. We are signing our building contracts tonight and hopefully will hear something soon about when the land will title and settle. Once it settles/titles our builder says it'll be about four weeks till they start building. Fingers are crossed for in by Christmas. I love the style boards too (if I do say so myself) Would love to see your style boards too when you've made them up! I'm currently second guessing my colour selection for our kitchen cupboards - you'll see this in my thread.

Just the waiting game for something to happen is the lame bit Re: First Time Building - Decisions to be made 16Jun 19, 2013 7:02 pm Hi everyone, The block got levelled today but apparently a little wet so will be next week when the work all begins. I am trying to figure out lighting at the moment and am having a lot of trouble trying to figure it all out. We have decided on Matec 42" flans with lights for the bedroom, kitchen pendants and over dining room are decided but no idea past that..... main issue is living rooms i think and hallways. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Going to put a fair bit in the blog around the reviews of the products used such as the home automation, wood fire place and lighting as often can be hard to find information on certain products.
