Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New build in the South West - update! 13Jul 26, 2014 8:21 pm Just a quick update... I have changed my main bathroom floor tile. I think the tile shop should have a special ringtone just for me and perhaps a file instead of a sheet! I have changed my mind so many times they probably duck and hide when they see me coming!! I seriously think you should be allowed to make your choices as your build progresses coz you have more of an idea of what looks good then. Such a huge job to make so many decisions in one hit at prestart! Anyway, I have chosen a 300x300 tile called Cinnamon - a few shades lighter than original choices as I am hoping it will brighten up the room a bit and be a better contrast with the charred oak cupboards. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also, I have to reselect my pavers as the lovely Wickham (colour like the roof), have been discontinued. I was going to have these with the cream border. I am now at a bit of a loss. I have to be practical, coz being on a property with mud and animals I can't have light grey or cream. I am considering using red with a cream border and bringing it together with cultured stone on the portico. This has lovely greys and earthy reds through it. It may give the house some wow factor, or it may completely ruin the look. Has anyone done anything similar? Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sorry to hear about the frustrations though Love your floor plan - it sure does make good use of the lovely views, and I'm in love with your colour choices. We're also thinking to go greys and love both the before and after tiles - and can't wait to see the platinum micro - it sounds perfect Re: New build in the South West - update! 15Jul 27, 2014 7:39 pm I live the new tile colour - sorry no idea re the paving <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: New build in the South West - update! 17Jul 27, 2014 11:56 pm MalSannie Hi Rache - I'm with the others - WOW what a spectacular view how fortunate you are.

I do feel very lucky to be able to build on such a beautiful property. I still have to pinch myself when I take the dogs for a walk and am surrounded by green paddocks and national forest. The greys have kinda evolved since prestart - I had initially chosen lots of grey/brown tones, and much darker shades. Hoping it will be brighter but still warm now. Really love white, but we have orphan lambies in our kitchen and living area in the winter months and just couldn't see the white holding up so well!! Re: New build in the South West - update! 18Jul 28, 2014 12:05 am Thanks AKB and Melsie. I am much happier with the lighter tile. Fingers crossed! Re: New build in the South West - update! 19Jul 28, 2014 12:22 am Helli rache, thought I'd pop over and have a better look at your build. Your lighter tile is gorgeous - similar tone to what we are having. I would of loved a darker charcoal tile but the thought of calcium marks on dark tile swayed me. Re: New build in the South West - update! 20Jul 28, 2014 12:28 am Yeh you don't won't that . Apparently (which I was told on Friday. Black tiles the worse to choose in wet areas because of calcium build up . Damn no one told me that lol . So I wipe my shower floor every time I have a shower ( trying to teach my partner ) not working . Not a good idea to leave water to dry on dark tiles . Vinegar and bi carb takes it off .but don't let it get bad . But I don't know if it is the same case in living areas .
