Also look up the "things we forgot" thread on here as its a treasure trove of stuff we didn't even think to ask for. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3475Jan 30, 2016 11:01 am Well said Puglover. I did the same thing and it helped heaps! Been fabulous having this group Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3476Jan 30, 2016 11:07 am We are so stuck on the colour scheme Bugnada. What have you chosen? I'm fairly sure we are going to do Marble for the outside, but then I go and look in the folder again and change my mind. It's a tough choice! Inside, well I am stumped. I like elements of three of them, so still figuring it out. I think your ideas of having a sliding cavity door to separate the living and bedrooms is a great idea. I might see what that will cost and if we can afford it, I think it should be way up on our list. Thank you for your PM's. I would definitely love to stay in touch.

I took a practical approach to my colour schemes - what would be easiest to maintain from a cleaning perspective? That's why I went for a splash back instead of times, and darker floor tiles in the bathroom. We chose a fairly neutral palette so we could introduce more colour later Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3478Jan 30, 2016 11:28 am We did the same thing with our color scheme puglover. So much easier for cleaning and things not showing up. Nice neutral palete. Our furniture looks great. Real warm feeling when you walk in Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3479Jan 30, 2016 11:42 am That's all great advice Puglover and Mrssilverbeetle I think you're right. We have two children and I know oh so well what it is like to live in a house with light tiles.. I'm constantly cleaning. Despite it being a small house, I want it to feel warm and homely too. I havent, and i havent looked to much into it, but on face value its not the saviour its trying to make out to be. Shared equity in your home is never a good idea.
