Hi
I have just submitted my plans to council with Allworth to build the Langford Countryside. I was wondering if anyone else has built this home or the Langford and what they did for the colour selections and bathroom selections.

Thats what we ended up doing, we quoted everything we wanted and went from their, though they forgot to quote he laundry overhead cabinets so they are doing that now. Are you building with Allworth or another builder? I was so unsure about the floor tiles but I think they will look good once laid. The photos don't really give them justice.

No worries, I have got them to change a couple of things in our kitchen, just waiting for a price back. We are building the carlisle with Allworth. I started with Coral homes hence the title of our build thread lol, but got cold feet with them and changed to Allworth. So far so good for us, just a little impatient to get through the paperwork and contract stuff and get on with the build, like everyone that has ever built a house You are not the first person to second guess colour choices, I think everyone goes through that at some stage lol. I know we certainly did with our first build. My wife and I don't really have a style nor are we even remotely interior design minded, so for us it was a case of pick and hope. At the end of the day, you will make the house your home, and your furniture will add the life and texture to the room. This time around we have played it safe with a fairly neutral colour palette inside and will add some colour through furnishings. Re: Allworth Langford Countryside or Langford 17Sep 12, 2017 3:19 pm I think all up I'm spending about $12k over standard on the kitchen if that helps but that includes laundry also. Yes I've tried to do the same by going whites and greys but I did take a risk in the kitchen by going black and white but I have a feeling it will look really good when its finished. I was going to go all white but my husband encouraged me to just get the kitchen I wanted instead of worrying about resale as its a long term home plus the amount of black isn't overwhelming which is good. I just keep telling myself its way better then our first house so it is what it is lol. Nice choice, great layout. We got our DA back this week so I'm trying to get the few loose ends sorted. Where are you up to? Re: Allworth Langford Countryside or Langford 18Sep 12, 2017 6:02 pm Just catching up on all your progress Candicewebster. You guys are moving along fast! Can't believe you're out of Council already that's so good. We're still waiting on the kitchen quote to come back hopefully we get it this week. I'm starting to think we shouldn't have changed the island measurements we have no idea what that change is going to cost. You've made some beautiful changes the thicker stone was on my wish list lol I really need to get those appointments sorted for tiles, colours and electrical that is my next mission! Mrbiggens was reading through your comments too. Going to follow along with your build. I love the design you've chosen it's a great layout. Planing to start a thread on our build too so will start posting some details on there soon. Re: Allworth Langford Countryside or Langford 19Sep 12, 2017 6:04 pm Well I am sure you will be fine with your colours. We are currently at CDC and I have just finished all the selection appointments so hopefully turning dirt by the end of October.
