Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 04, 2016 1:31 pm Hi guys, I have been lurking around this forum for a while and pleased to add my own thread for our first home, building with Aveling at the Lumen Rise Estate in Martin! Pre-contract Tue 30/06/15 Final contract Mon 19/10/15 Pre-Start Thu 5/11/15 Slab down Sat 23/01/16 Brickwork Mon 8/02/16 (Scheduled) We went to see our slab last weekend and it looks tiny! Been told that it will look bigger once the walls are up but have to see to believe! Plan: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Ensuite AND bathroom: (Yes being a little boring by repeating the same design and color. The feature tile does come in a lighter color/shade but it would bland right in with the main wall tiles) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen: (Black profile tile as splash back, though been told by relatives that it would be hard to clean!) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Color scheme: • Window frames - Silver Lustre • Blade wall - Solver to match colorbond woodland grey • Paving - Pewter • Entry door - 1200 Painted Surfmist • Roof tiles – Aniseed Vienna profile • Bricks - Limestone hue That's all I have for now, hoping to post more as we progress Re: Building in Lumen Rise (Martin 6110) with Aveling 2Feb 04, 2016 3:36 pm Love your floor plan and your tiles! First rule of building a house- go with what you love and don't listen to the relos and the endless opinions. Everyone has different tastes but at the end of the day you have to do what you love and what makes you happy. I don't actually think they will be bad as a splash back- I would imagine it would be way harder to keep flat polished tiles, mirror or window splash clean!

I haven't made a thread yet as it felt like nothing was happening but we did our tiles etc selection at European the other day and ours are very similar to yours! ?

I haven't been to site for awhile so fingers crossed there has been some progress Re: Building in Lumen Rise (Martin 6110) with Aveling 6Feb 11, 2016 9:35 am It looks awesome!

Hopefully we won't live to regret this as it is now too late to add on. To others out there that are building, please take note!
