Selections
My partner and I had many disagreements during selection stages.
In the end we found a display home which had similarities to some of our colour choices and we both finally made decisions. It was hard to envision all the choices together.
We decided after much debate to get the included laminate rather than upgrade to the stone. We also avoided the upgrade of ducted. We might regret this later on but for now it is the right one. We have noticed if we chose to put in air cons, the only option would be above the tv in the kitchen and above the bed in the main room.. these things are influencing the idea to get ducted...
For all our colour selections we made a point to have already picked what we wanted before the meeting process... Had plenty of time to do so, and I would have hated not knowing before I went in to choose..
Tiles and carpet
Dark charcoal tiles in the bathrooms/laundry.
We upgraded on splash back tiles for the kitchen
The large hexagon embellished tile in the centre.
Kitchen cupboards will be a Cavia Lini sheen with the benchtops Pure marble velour finish by Formica. (small sample in middle)
The main floor is a light grey tile in satin finish -
We also upgraded the drains in the bathroom from the plastic to a square chrome/tile.
Chose to delete the option of bathroom soap holders - they look pretty cheap and we'd rather put some glass shelves in later.
We did not get the fancy blue /grey black feature tile strip- it was an extra cost and thought it hard to keep clean as well as the idea it might look outdated in a couple of years... plus we could not agree on feature tiles and opted for the fancy drains instead..
Went for the charcoal carpet - there were only the samples in the pic that we could select from.
Fingers crossed it all works well together..
Roof and bricks
We selected Gibson bricks with the Sambuca Tile Roof.
At first we went for the barramundi coloured roof tile but noticed on a few houses it faded out a blue grey in the sun.
Make sure you go around and try and find the colours your looking at on actual houses. They are soo different on a real building compared to that on display.
For all the drainpipes and window surrounds we went for the blacks.
For the front door and garage door we opted for the wood-grain option and we're having the door stained rather than being painted. - These were extra costs.
Paint
We chose a pale blue (I'll post the name when i find it) for throughout the house and we're having the media room darkened. The laundry and bathrooms will be polar white.
