Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 12Feb 14, 2018 6:35 am So the scary stuff begins. We had our tile appointment with National Tiles yesterday. Went in with one idea and came out with the same idea in different tiles. We are tiling all the main areas - All Floors : Alpine Ivory - Shine Finish Outdoor (porch and alfresco) - Alpine Ivory - Outdoor finish Ensuite & Bathroom (feature walls) - Simplicity Mocha - Natural finish Ensuite & Bathroom (other walls) - Industry Mare - Gloss finish Laundry Splashback - Industry Mare - Gloss finish And of course, I am second guessing the shine finish on the floor. So hard when you can't see a whole floor already done. We have our colour appointment on 7 March but we are thinking - Kitchen Bench - Ice Snow (maybe) but hubby wants something whiter Lower cupboards - Burnished Wood (matt finish) Upper cupboards - Ghostgum (matt finish) or something similar in silk finish Glass splashback - probably same colour as upper cupboards Ensuite, Bathroom, Laundry cupboards - Espresso (matt finish) or maybe something a little bolder.

I think the shine finish will look great especially at night with the lights on. Found the colour appointment to be the best, so many things to pick and choose from. Our consultant was great, she gave us rough estimates on the things we wanted to upgrade and she was spot on when we got our variation back. Cant wait to see your choices.

I think the shine finish will be great, just always only ever had matt finish. Our tile consultant was great. We managed to choose all our tiles from the standard range, so the only extra was for different colour grout ($117), so very happy about that. Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 15Mar 02, 2018 10:54 pm How'd i miss this??? Love those shiny tiles 😍 your inspo pic is gorgeous! Check out caesarstone 'intense white' - its whiter than ice snow and only a tad more expensive - i think our upgrade to intense white for the bathrooms was roughly $150 Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 16Mar 03, 2018 11:51 am Dylandbrooke How'd i miss this???

Will definitely look into the whiter bench tops. Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 17Mar 08, 2018 7:44 am So, finally had our colour consultation which wasn't as bad as I thought.
We wanted our colour scheme to very simple with complementary earthy tones (as you can see from the photos below). Hopefully, this look is okay. External colours which was the part I was dreading the most and ended up with - Roof - Concrete Tiles - Coal Gutters - Monument Fascia - Surfmist Eaves - Surfmist Windows - Surfmist Walls - Linseed Render Front Pillars - Basalt Render Timber Door - Merbau (6 glass) Portico Timber - Red Rock Garage Door - Surfmist Outdoor tile - Alpine Ivory Like ⋅ 3 comments ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The Internal Colours kitchen colours are All floor - Alpine Ivory Shine Walls - Dulux Natural White Kitchen- Benchtops - Ice Snow (it's funny, we looked at the whiter and more expensive benchtops and they just didn't suit the look we were after) Island Cupboard doors & Cooktop cupboard doors - Burnished Wood Matt Finish Overhead Cupboard doors - White Silk Finish Glass Splashback - Dulux Natural White (basically same colour as the overhead cupboards) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bathroom, Ensuite and Laundry- Benchtops - Ice Snow Cupboard Doors - Espresso Feature Walls Tile - Simplicity Mocha Natural Other Walls Tile - Industry Mare Gloss Floor Tiles - Alpine Ivory Shine (same as rest of house) Wall Colour Paint - Natural White Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We are having carpet to the bedrooms Carpet - Silver Range - Pottery Clay Feature Wall (Master bedroom, Media and Family) - Camel Train All other walls - Natural White Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We are going for this sort of look.
