Kitchen colour confusion

Well the last few weeks while our plans have been in council (still waiting) we have completed most of our appointments: Kitchen fitout, staircase and electricals. One left to go, tiles and carpet, which is next week.

In the meantime we have had a rethink about our kitchen colours. After looking at many many different combinations of polyurethane (6 colours to chose from) and caesarstone, we narrowed down the selection to 2 colour combinations:

Selection 1:
Polyurethane cupboard - Paperbark
Caesarstone - Osprey
Glass splashback - Antique white

Selection 2:
Polyurethane cupboard - Moss Grey Satin
Caesarstone - Organic white or Osprey
Glass splashback - Antique white or Brilliant white

Still not sure about it, otherwise we may have to revert to the standard white kitchen. We wanted something a bit different, but limited with the colour selections available. DH does not want all white, so if we do white cupboards, we then need to look for a coloured caesarstone, one that is not too dark. Decisions, decisions.......and we need to decide soon.

Colours Paperbark (left) and Moss Grey (right), Caesarstone Organic White (Top) and Osprey (Bottom).

DA lodged with council

Good news!!! Received the phone call to advise the DA has been lodged with council today.......lets see how long Liverpool council take.

Our house plans

Finally got around to posting our house plans after a busy week choosing  colours and obtaining pool quotes. Here they are!

Internal Colours selection

This week we also picked our internal colours. Our selections are listed below.

Kitchen Cupboards - Polytec Cafe Cream (a cream beige colour)
Benchtop - Caesarstone Organic White
Splashback will be Maltese (a chocolate colour)

Bathroom Vanities & Laundry cupboards - Sorrel (a tan colour)
Bathroom & Laundry benchtops - Caesarstone Ocean Foam

External Colours

This week we selected our colours, after many hours looking at different samples with our brick and also looking at lots of photo's  too. Hopefully it will all come together well. I've updated photo's of the colours, however the colours look different on a computer screen compared  to real life samples. Anyway, here they are:

Bristile Roof tiles - Gun Metal Classic

Guttering - Monument

Garage door & Facia - Evening Haze

Windows - Anodic off white

Final Plans & contracts

We have received final plans!!!! We also signed contracts this week, so it's full steam ahead to get everything done before tender expiration 31 May 2012. Will try and get the plans on here when I have more time.

We really need to visit the kitchen supplier before our colour appointment which is booked for next week. Still trying to decide on what colour the kitchen cupboards should be.

On Wednesday, 29th Feb we also settle on our land. We have also been busy talking with pool companies, just waiting on a quote for one we really like.

Land registration

Good news.......our solicitor advised us this week that our land is registered. We settle on our land the 29th February 2012. That date we won't forget!

First draft of plans received, a few changes required. While we wait for the 2nd draft, we have been busy looking at bricks. We have decided on upgrading to Austral Symmetry Asphalt.

Now we are looking at all the various external colour combinations. Decisions, decisions....
