The lady from GJ Gardner was very very helpful, thorough, super friendly and we had lot of fun in choosing everything we need I cannot wait to see it coming all together into one piece which is our house. I can imagine these colours are not everyone's cup of tea but we are going for the more traditional style Especially the red brick will probably surprise some of you but it is one of the brick colours you don't find very often here in our area where we live so we are even more happy that we like them These are our outside colours combination we have chosen. It is not our house drawing or picture on this photo. Its a nice online feature where you can try different colours to see what you like If you also would like to see how your colour work together, here is the link: http://www.colourtouch.com.au/ Our bricks and roof colours: The inside walls: Porcelain floor tiles is the largest part of the photo. Kitchen cabinetry is the dark sample and the stone sample is the bench top. The floor tiles will be the same in the whole house except bedrooms. again floor, and kitchen cabinetry which is Polytec Melamin Truffle Lini Sheen Hier the splashback (the largest in this photos) the dark sample is the kitchen cabinetry and the stone sample is the bench top which is pretty much the same like the splashback. The laundry and bathrooms: the light tile is the main colour for walls and floors. The grey tile is the feature. The grey sample which calls Polytec Melamine Char Oak Matt is for the cabinetry in the laundry and bathrooms. Our taps we are getting: Live Love Lough Building thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=74918 Building blog: http://uniquebyeva.com.au/ourhome/ Our food forest blog: http://www.foodforestcookery.com Re: Our Acreage Custom Design Home with GJ Gardner 18Jan 08, 2015 8:43 am Colour selection looks good, one of the most fun / most stressful parts I think! Your stone bench top looks very similar to the one I picked, love the tap ware too! Red bricks are timeless and look awesome with a darker colour roof! Re: Our Acreage Custom Design Home with GJ Gardner 19Jan 08, 2015 10:22 am Posting to follow. Red brick is a classic, for my small build I am using it as well (but with a shale grey colorbond roof)... Did you pay extra for your polytec 'woodgrain' as compared to the plain colors? Re: Our Acreage Custom Design Home with GJ Gardner 20Jan 08, 2015 11:33 am Thank you guys. We love the classic look of our future house @Bonnie_p: yes, I saw that there are lot of details we both like them I also love horses! I hope I will have one or two one day <3 We have the space for it. @Treesachanger: I have to jump to your thread to follow as well No, we didn't have to pay extra for the woodgrain. Its the polytec sheen which is a glossy finish and I love it! I must say, after reading through this forum, that GJ Gardner gave us a lot of to choose from by the colour selection without upgrading/paying extra. Starting with plenty of bricks to choose from up to 1200mm entry door as standard and plenty of other details. I know you get what you pay for and maybe our quote was a bit higher than by other builders but what I realized, lots of builders are trying to catch you with a smaller price at the beginning. Then when you start to ask about the details, everything what looks nicer is an upgrade. At the end, you end up with a much higher price then you hoped for... This is just my opinion For now, we are very happy we went with GJ Gardner.
