OOOOOOOOO we have the start of a drive way!!!

Well... as we are now pushing 8 weeks past our original settlement for our land... we are quite excited to share this pic!!!

Colour Browse/Selection

So we went to our colour browse appointment today and had soooooooo much fun at Spectra! We're pretty confident in our selections so we're happy to lock them in on Monday at our colour selection appointment!!!

Here are our choices... let us know what you think!!!

EXTERIOR

Roof - Traditional profile - Barramundi colour




Fascias, Gutters, Downpipes, Front Door, Garage Door and Timber cladding to facade (Surfmist)


Aluminium Windows and Bifolds - A&L Anodic Grey


Main brick to house - Boral Mist


Feature Brick to Facade (Under windows and timber cladding) Austral Brick - Graphite


INTERIOR - FLOORS/WALLS

We were originally looking at having tiles through out the entire house (obviously other than the carpeted areas) however this was going to cost us THOUSANDS!!!! So for the extra couple of hundred we decided to go with the laminate floors - Here is a pick of the tile, carpet and laminate floors (We will still be having our tile in the bathrooms, powder room, toilet and laundry)



Walls throughout to be Dulux Lexicon
With ceilings, doors, architraves and skirting in Dulux Lexicon Half
Feature walls and the entire Theatre Room will be Dulux Klavier
(See the colour scheme listed below)



WET AREAS

Caesarstone Urban


Lower Cabinets - Laminex Alaskan


Above head cabinets - Laminex Blackened Linewood


We are having one perspex door in the above head cupboard and we have chosen the below


Glass Splashback is the clear glass on Western Myall (This colour is also seen the colour chart from Dulux)



See the below photo for our bathroom/ensuite/powder room and laundry colours
(We are having the Urban Caesarstone in all of the bathrooms, in the laundry we will be having Laminex Morning Shale)

Cabinets in all of the areas are Laminex Lustrous Elm - (as seen in the photo)

The feature tile is "Style Grigio" (The photo of the tile on the Beaumont Tiles Website is all distorted so I didn't bother downloading it!) - and it looks very much like the Laminex lustrous elm - we will be having this as the splash backs and as a feature wall in the showers - the remainder of the tiles i.e around the bath and in the laundry will just be the plain gloss white tile - and obviously the dark tile will be the floor tiles :)




Here are a list of items that we upgraded
- Facade
- Bricks - Cat 4/Cat6
- Roof tiles - Cat 2
- Timber Laminates - Cat 1 laminates
- 40mm Waterfall edges to the island bench in the kitchen
- Floor and Feature Tiles are both upgraded
- The second laminate cabinet colour in the kitchen
- The metallic glass in the Front Doors
- The bifolds to the lounge and dining doors and kitchen window
- We opted to have the microwave and surround kit included
- Remove the pillar in the Alfresco (so we can extend it at a later date)
- Install the pre works for Refrigerated Air Con (We will purchase the unit at a later date)
- Network points throughout some of the rooms...

I think that's about it!
I'll update on Monday after we have our selection appointment and let you know if we have a heart attack at the price of our upgrades!!!!

I think that's about it!

Chosen Facade - just different colours

This is the facade we are choosing (and paying a lot of $$$$$$ for)
We want to be different and with the view that we will have in front of house the windows frame the view very well! We will be having different colours, they will be much darker!

We have colour browse next Saturday 20th March and then the selection on the Monday (we had to change the browse and push it out a week due to work commitments this Saturday) I just hope we're not too rushed in making our decisions - although we already know what we want!
