House looks amazing.
Did you end up selecting the same render colour as the display home and if so do you remember what it was called ?
Yes, Dulux Candlebark
Thanks for that looks great

Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 999Jul 29, 2020 1:38 pm I have finally finished my outdoor kitchen. I built this myself, however I got someone to render it since they were already doing my front fence. It fits between the house and the outdoor pillar. Tiles were left over from the house build, and I bought the bench top off cuts and installed myself. About 4K in materials/appliances.
