Getting closer

Eden brae sent the final Pcv today, this was as a result of the da check. We have also got a date for the site start appointment. All our documents should come next week, we are to go through these with a fine tooth comb and then we sign them. Administration will be complete!! Edging closer to something happening on our block, something other than the grass growing lol

Mixed feelings

EB rang today and said that we are looking at mid December  before our slab will start. They can't guarantee it, but will do everything they can to get this to happen... Beginning to think I should say, the slab will be down in February.

On the other hand, nearmaps have updated their maps this week. Look at the progress in our estate!!

Kitchen,bathroom and wall colours

Just realised I never shared my kitchen, bathroom or wall colours. I went into home option gallery back in July before we signed our contract and looked at the standard range for essastone bench tops for our kitchen bench tops. We had the choice of 20mm New Cairo or Sable Lux. I wanted a neutral kitchen and selected New Cairo. That just left the cupboard door colour. I took lots of samples home and in the end selected Pumice in a natural finish.

For the wall colour, I selected Taubman's Endure paint in Pebble Bay... All wood work will be in Pebble Bay Quarter strength.

As I have said before I went to DIlorenzo a couple of visits before selecting the bathroom bench top and cupboard colours. I wanted to have an idea of the overall look. So I selected my tiles first, and them started to think about the squareform bench top colour. In the end I choose Platinum Micro squareform for the bench and Smokey Sapelle with the lines running vertically for the cupboards in both the bathroom and ensuite. The tile has been discontinued but I think the tiles I have chosen will still look great with this selection. 

Lighting for main living areas

I am stuck for ideas for the lights in our entry and multi. I will also need one up the hall outside the niche. I am considering this style for the living, family and meals area.

Which do you prefer? Top or bottom?

Waiting

Patiently waiting for some info from EB... Our approval is on the local council website... Waiting to hear what happens next... I'm not very good at waiting lol

ACC received and DA check to begin

Very excited, received the authority to commence construction from the bank this week and sent it off to EB. Signed all PCVs - we needed to raise another one to allow our own independent inspector to do his inspections. So today we sent back the letter so they can start the DA check. Can't wait to see red pegs on our block, watch this space for a photo!! Hope it's soon!

Lighting for the bedrooms

I have been thinking about the lighting for our bedrooms, I was thinking of a special light for the master, maybe something like this

And for bedrooms 2, 3, 4 and kids room, something like this...

Still pondering the lights for the living, family, dining, multi, entry... Our rumpus will have dimmable downlights.
