Did you guys freak out the next day after colour selections?! Having a bit of a worry as those little coloured squares of laminate and stone stare back at me. It's soooo hard to tell what it will look like! It's only natrual to second guess.... I second guess for the entire build. My color selections (plus the Hopeton and tile selections) were done back in 2010. I still freak out over them from time to time. Now that some of them are getting close to being done in my build I constantly have second thoughts about them. I go back to my little samples and then online to look at kitchens and living area pics and look for the ones that might match mine. I have been doing that on and off for the last year or more. I think its just natural. On another note, I have found that going with your first selections is usually 99% correct. We made one slight change and that was only a few days after our color selections (which was to keep the gutters, fascia and downpipes the same color. I picked a different color fascia originally and after a day figured it would look a lot better as all the same color). Re: Porter Davis homes 5016Apr 05, 2012 1:29 pm Looks beautiful! You must be pleased:) Are you asking the electrican to add the lights on the front columns or are you doing them post handover??? We have them lights too and i was thinking i could ask them to install them during electrical fitoff?? Do you have any internal pics???

We only a few months ago made a variation to the ceasar stone we selected and I am glad i changed my mind because now when i look at it I couldn't imagine it different. I am still nervous about our ensutie cabinet colour and the tiles we slected as it's a lighter colour and the rest of the house has darker cabinets- we just wanted something different in the ensuite....I have been told it's not that hard to change laminate should we really not like it.

We are building the 36sq. Just pouring over the budget with a fine tooth comb trying to reign it in!! Thanks! $950 for a 30sq...you should expect a ballpark of around $1200...this is for Austral. Re: Porter Davis homes 5019Apr 05, 2012 6:37 pm $1200!! Wow! We have Austral bricks, 36sq - $560 upgrade for Cat 2. Why so much for you guys?
