Our House

We're finally getting to the end of the planning stage of our house, so I thought I'd share some pictures. We're hoping that building will begin in November.

Here's the stunning view that we'll have! We're overlooking the Derwent River, with an unobstructed view of Mt Wellington (although you can't really see it in these photos because of that huge tree!).

And here are our house plans. We've taken longer with the planning stage because we wanted to make sure everything was exactly how we want it to be. Because our block is sloping, the main living level is the first floor, with a rumpus and guest room downstairs.

And here's our kitchen plan in 3D.

And finally, here are our colour choices so far. We are booked in to see a colour specialist next week, so it will be interesting to see what we decide from there. But basically we've chosen a deeper colour carpet for the majority of the house, and the entry/kitchen/dining will be with a special kind of floor covering by Karndean. At the moment we've chosen a timber look.

The kitchen cupboards are "Latte" High Gloss wrapped vinyl (left sample) and the kickboards will be in "Urban Grey". The colour in between, "Chino", is what we're thinking for the splashback. And finally the benchtops will be a dark granite/granite look-alike, we still haven't decided!

Hope you like how it looks so far!
