Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 09, 2013 10:50 pm Hi there! I've just discovered this forum and I'm finding everyones posts so helpful! We are just about to start renovating a house in Newcastle, NSW. It's not our dream home, it will essentially be an investment property. So we're trying to keep it simple yet unique/likeable. I'm really struggling with making final decisions! I need to choose the roof colour (colourbond) and windows and cladding etc. ASAP so that my hubby/builder can order it all. I'm thinking - Roof/gutters - surfmist (is this too light?) Windows/fascia - white Wall colour - milton moon (soft grey) Door - a bold colour (maybe navy, plum or timber) Deck - no idea! Garage door - surfmist?? Don't even get me started on the interior! I'm definitely going to need a lot of help when it comes to that If you have any advise or suggestions for my exterior issues I would greatly appreciate it!!! Thank you in advance Ps ill figure out how to upload an image and show you what it currently looks like!

Maybe with a glossy black or blue door! Perhaps white posts for the deck. Re: Exterior colours 10Mar 11, 2013 8:42 am Being in Newcastle you should have heaps of inspiration as there are many weatherboards around Newcastle. I love the grey and white colour scheme.
