Now I did a preliminary selection for the external color scheme of the house with the help of Austral staff members. Selection is as following: Bricks = Austral Orpheus Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Render/Pillars = Taubmans Brentwood NH38 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Roof/Gutter/Downpipe/Windows/Fascia = Monument Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Garage = Timber Coat Cedar Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Entry Door = Walnut or similar to garage Driveway = Gunmetal Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Since majority of my Facade is covered in render, so should I go with surfmist windows or change them to Monument. Is there any need of coloring the four front pillars with 2 different colors? I am really confuse here. Guys/Gals I'll appreciate your input. Cheers.

We are looking to build with Firstyle as well, in Edmondson Park so I will be following the progress of your home closely We are really curious as to the costs of upgrades. Do you mind sharing the costs of your upgrades at all such as tiles, flooring, additional light and power points, water line to fridge, pantry upgrades etc? Anything really heheh Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 6Jan 09, 2017 3:34 pm Hay le_le, Welcome to the club ? What size home ru building? PM me ur email n I'll send you the prices of my upgrades. Is ur block registered yet? Cheers, M I am doing flooring after handover. Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 7Jan 09, 2017 3:59 pm Hi. I'm building the 35.7 Grantham. Land is already registered. We put the holding deposit down in December and they sent us the brochure with price etc just before Christmas. I've asked them a few questions about upgrades and am also now tossing up between the grantham and the smaller chatswood... Decisions decisions decisions. Will send you a PM now. Thank you! Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 8Jan 09, 2017 4:18 pm Ohh..never knew they had Grantham 35.. Have a look at Monash or even waterhouse.. I loved Monash but due to the stupid construction ratio rule couldn't get my home theatre built. That is why I went with Braeside. Will send you the prices n few tips tomorrow. Cheers, M Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 9Jan 09, 2017 6:12 pm I loved the Monash initially but didn't like that wall that separated the dining and lounge area - it wouldn't work for our family. I loved the ensuite in the Waterhouse. The ensuite in your house is quite similar! Thanks in advance for the email!! Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 10Jan 09, 2017 6:22 pm I hated that wall too...I wanted to enclose the rumpus area so went with the braeside... Yap all 3 houses have a similar master ensuite...it is a little unique....haven't seen it anywhere else...the lady at the clipsal appointment just loved it... just go through the email I have sent and see if it has everything that you need. Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 11Jan 10, 2017 10:46 am Hi All, I need your advise regarding selecting colour for the pantry doors and the cupboards above the fridge. All of my O/H cupboards are in Snowdrift and the lower cubboards in Charred Oak as shown in the sketch below. At the moment my WIP doors and the two cupboard above the fridge are in Charred Oak. Would it be OK or should I change the pantry doors to snowdrift and leave the fridge cupboards in charred oak. I am unable to visualize white pantry doors for some reason Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Firstyle Home - Braeside 43sq 12Jan 12, 2017 8:17 pm Hi I'm new to this forum...but thinking of building with FS.
