We finally got our titles and settled in October, after a few setbacks - such as not having access to our land amongst other bullsh*tty things! Nothing happened then for several months due to these setbacks, but in January we finally had earthworks progress and on the 3rd of February we got our slab! So hopefully in a few weeks we get some bricks, and eventually they start building! Our only negative at the moment is during earthworks they damaged the back retaining wall, quite a large chunk has been chipped so still waiting to hear back about the solution to this (as it's too noticeable to dismiss). Also since I meant to do this back in June/July these are our selections! We've already had to change our outside pavers so hopefully nothing else changes before they go in. This is our final house plan: Our roof is the dark grey, with our garage and window frames being the cream colour. We've chosen red brick on the outside and our pavers (old ones shown) are a dark grey with a red trim framing them. Our front door is grey, unfortunately that was the darkest shade possible as they can't insure/something darker colours from the sun. So if necessary we may paint darker. The tile on our right is the floor tile throughout all the main living areas and hallways, as well as activity. The mosaic tile is our kitchen splashback and the laminate chip is the cupboards. http://www.caesarstone.com.au/colour/6250-wild-rocks Our kitchen bench. We are having the same floor and wall tiles in both bathrooms. In our bathroom we are having the lighter colour on each side of the darker coloured drawers, and main bathroom is all light. The bigger feature tile is the ensuite and the skinnier tile is the master. We had originally picked out different colours but we had to choose the same stone in the end so ended up with the same colours. :/ http://www.caesarstone.com.au/colour/2040-urban Our benchtops in the bathrooms. Our laundry floor tile and wall tile. The light laminate is the cupboards, and the darker flecked laminate is the benchtop. Our carpet for theatre, study and bedrooms. I am the most unsure about this colour to be honest! But we will see. Our external double doors (PMAD104): https://www.corinthian.com.au/Products/ ... PMADSL-104 Our internal doors (DECO 2D): https://www.corinthian.com.au/Products/ ... co-DECO-2D We also paid to get our house painted and went with the colour "Kitty Grey". We ended up seeing it painted at the Celebrations show home in Eden Beach after we chose it and LOVED it! So very happy with that choice, should be a good neutral base to start with. Hopefully in 6ish months when it's all put together we can agree that we made the right colour choices! Re: Building our first home in (Trinity) Alkimos, WA. 20Feb 07, 2015 4:45 pm Very similar plan to our house. Great choices here too! Can't wait to see it finished So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27864 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not?
