Haha hmmm oh well its unique thanks so much for your help with gemmill...we were so close to signing up with them but i think we just had our hearts set on redink from the beginning so went with that! Re: Redink Homes in Whiteman Edge 6Oct 12, 2012 9:18 pm Great Plan Kat - Goodluck with your prestart I hope things come in on budget for you. Redink Homes in Whiteman Edge 7Oct 12, 2012 10:13 pm Wow Garden- 2 months between prestart and slab going down. We had our prestart in may and our slab is hopefully going down on Monday. We were told late this week but the SS he would take that to mean Monday. He was right in that it wasn't done this week. Hopefully things do move a little faster once the slab is down. Other than the waiting we have been really happy with Redink. Re: Redink Homes in Whiteman Edge 8Oct 18, 2012 8:15 pm Thinking of copying the Ross North Honeywood display external colours which is weird as we were initially going with a grey theme but I think that has all changed now! http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u403/xxkat86xx/externalcolours_zps70693c97.jpg Need some help with windows in the master...we can't decide!! Do we go for an upsidedown L shape like is on the plans now where you walk in and have the large window opposite door then the highlight window over the bed. This means bed and bedside tables are moved closer to left hand side of room as you walk in. http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u403/xxkat86xx/Lshape_zpsff71071f.jpg Or do we go for an upsidedown U shape over the bed so the bed is central on the wall? http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u403/xxkat86xx/Ushape_zps450e862c.jpg We want a TV on the wall accross from the bed so this is why the bed is going against the window wall. Re: Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 9Oct 18, 2012 8:26 pm we have out bed in the middle of the wall [altho the bed isnt on a wall with windows] bcoz we are mounting a tv on the opposite wall . i guess it comes down to if you like things to look symmetrical, or if it will look 'out of balance'. i love the colours of that display too Re: Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 10Oct 18, 2012 8:36 pm GardenofNeedn-58 we have out bed in the middle of the wall [altho the bed isnt on a wall with windows] bcoz we are mounting a tv on the opposite wall . i guess it comes down to if you like things to look symmetrical, or if it will look 'out of balance'. i love the colours of that display too I was thinking it would look symmetrical either way due to the entrance into the bedroom... It's all so hard...and we haven't even got to cabinet or tile colours yet hahaha The honeywood is lovely, got a few ideas from that one! We will be having a timber front door though so I hope it would still look ok...the white front door seems to fit it so well! I've been looking at your photos, more than likely going for the same interior doors! We were initially looking at the deco ones but these just tie in so well with the front door like you said Re: Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 11Oct 18, 2012 9:02 pm Hi Kat, I like the look of the upside down U shaped window in the master, but they both look great either way! Everything is looking stylish Re: Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 12Oct 18, 2012 10:58 pm Love that Exterior Choice, Very Nice. Funny we were going greys to initially now not so sure , thinking of going more brown/grey. Its all to hard . Also I think U shape even though I prefer the look of the L shape bedroom for colours and that I like the U shape window better for balance especially if you are putting your bed and bedsides on that wall. But I am a bit OCD like that so please feel free to ignore me. Re: Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 13Oct 18, 2012 11:28 pm love the exterior colours... perfect balance I would also go for the upside down U..... Looks much better inside and out Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 14Oct 19, 2012 12:13 am Love the U window, it's more symmetrical. And the display colours are lovely too.

So back to square one and hoping to see something we like at Alkimos this weekend! Redink have been awesome, they call with updates and also email the same info so for idiots like me who forget everything they get told it's perfect communication! Our CA/CLO answers emails within a couple hours so feeling very looked after and happy with our decision to build with Redink. They are keeping their end of the deal but we are failing badly in picking colours to be ready for prestart... Working drawings are being drawn up this week and I already have lots of changes to make but hopefully some proper plans and selections to post soon Re: Redink Homes - Can't decide on windows! 18Oct 25, 2012 3:28 pm Hi Kat! Good to see you've settled on a builder! I've actually gone ahead with the New Generation Homes design I showed you, so now we're just waiting for our titles to come out! Look forward to following your build thread. Hopefully I can steal a few design ideas from you!

Our brickwork is vintage red and we have a big feature wall of random limestone at the front. None of it is rendered, I think we may be one of the only houses in there not being rendered! DH is a brickie by trade and has always loved the vintage reds, he has added the limestone facade to make the elevation more modern and less 'country'. I have the artists impression from Bluepint and it looks amazing.
What tops are you having in your kitchen? Have you been to the pre start room at redink to have a look before your actual pre start meeting? We spent aaagggess looking at tiles and laminates and stone and granite and all the rest of it, it really is so hard to choose!
