Hopefully it is all smooth sailing for you from now on. I looked at your floorplan with much interest, it is similar to ours, though we changed the theatre into a bedroom and made a large rumpus style room at the back- anyway if you check my thread (in my signature) you will see what I mean. I really like your colours. We did similar to you in a dark roof (but tiled) and monument gutters, downpipes, windows etc. We have Dune fascia to break it up a bit but have a Monument garage door and front door too. Might be worth a look at our pics, so you can how it looks together (at least in that combination) though our bricks are different, we chose Boral Mocha. The front design of the house is very similar to yours too so you could see what it might look finished. Our pillars are light grey, though, not dark like you say. Hope that this helps a bit! Will follow to see how you go Edit: oh sorry, just realised due to changes to photobucket none of the photos on my thread are working. If you wanted you could look at the pics on my blog though. www.tashandpaul.wordpress.com My blog: tashandpaul.wordpress.com Re: Our new home 197Jul 14, 2017 6:28 pm Hi Tash & Paul. Thanks I will definitely have a look at your thread/blog. Thanks for your input Our original plan had a playroom between the kids bedrooms, but we had to change and of the builders plans this was by far our favourite in our price range. I wanted to keep all the kids rooms together, otherwise we could have done a similar thing. I hadn't planned on doing the monument rendered pillers, but hadn't really looked at anything at the time of colour selection. I guess after a few years I can paint it lighter if I get sick of it. I definitely didn't want really light thou as I can see it getting dirty with cobwebs and grass.

However when I bought it it was going to go on the wall in the kitchen and now because we have changed our plans i'm not sure where we will hang it! Re: Our new home- Contracts signed! 199Jul 17, 2017 6:23 pm Had our contract signing this afternoon, brought up a few bits and pieces and then signed away wahoo!! SO excited! We are penciled in to start in two weeks and he mentioned may be even onsite to do some marking on the block at the end of next week. eeek Re: Our new home 200Jul 21, 2017 11:03 pm So we got our final final final drawings back... after the few changes/fix ups we had made on contract signing 'day' and they have done this picture with colours and what the house will look like with a garden etc. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So I think it looks pretty good. To me the bricks look either a different colour or just lighter, you can see it compared to the picture below. This is what I think they look more like: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The actual brick in 'sunlight': Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ In the shade on the dark side of the house: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23884 Is it just a report written to give to the bank initially and it is based on what and how your payments are made up for, or is it a full service where they go out and… 2 5598 Skjm You might want to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKx-bsOr2jg If that link doesn't work go to youtube and search for Zac Homes ACA I am really… 1 4018 |
