How things are coming along nicely. Walls are one third up. And after having second thoughts about the bricks, we are now at ease, they look really good.

Prestart - Colour Selections

Well what we were thinking would take us a few hours and cost us about $10,000 in upgrades, ended up being an eight hour day and about $20,000 in upgrades. We were feeling rather shaky when we left our selection meeting, but some things we just couldn’t resist and it’s amazing how all those $100’s here and there add up.

One of our most expensive upgrade choices was the stone benchtops in the kitchen, ensuite, powder room and bar. But well worth it we think!

Boy did I have fun trying to match the benchtop colours with the cabinets and then make sure the tiles we selected suited too. I decided to keep the colours quite neutral, I wanted something that was simple but elegant.

Here’s a bit of a preview
