The picture below isn't a good indicator  of the colours - they really do go together 'in real life!'

Bench: Osprey Caesar Stone 20mm bench and 40mm island with waterfall edge - nice!!!
Cupboard Doors: Shaker Profile in Laminex Parchment (now changed to Polar White)
Glass splashback: Limed White (Starfire glass) - (now changed to Limed White Half)
Bench in Pantry: ...

Laundry:


Floor Tiles: Shell Matte Bianco Satin 
Cupboard doors: Laminex Polar White
Bench: Formica Brushed Silver
Splashback: White Gloss 75x150mm Subway Tile





Flooring:

We haven't decided whether to go with the flooring package or not. While we like the look of the Bolero Timber Look Laminate Flooring (Rustic Coffee is our choice) we're not sure that we actually want a laminate flooring. I don't like the idea of how it can't get wet and I also don't like how it's clicky when you walk on it.

So we're looking at the Allura Vinyl Plank flooring that is available at Harvey Norman, and then will get carpet elsewhere. Hopefully the vinyl plank will come up on sale before handover. To save $ we'll install it ourselves (it's really easy to DIY and it certainly is within our skill ability to do it).

Electrical Selections:

Basically we doubled the number of power points, threw in a few extra lights, added in some LED down lights and added some two way switches. We are putting a power point inside each of the vanities (handy for rechargeable shavers and toothbrushes, and it gets them off the bench), one in the broom cupboard (for the dust buster) as well as three in the pantry. We certainly didn't do anything extravagant and will put in our exterior lights after handover (they will be wired up and ready to go).



Land:

The land is coming along in leaps and bounds! So exciting! They've got most of the gutters in now.  Hopefully it won't be too long!
