Most enjoyable day with Newstart's colour consultants

Firstly, let me paint the scene for what was a most enjoyable day (well it felt like a full day as it went on and on and on).

It was early Saturday morning, we packed the kids into the car, drove out to Austral bricks to pick up a few more samples (got a brick display at the front of our rental at the moment) and headed down the highway towards Gold Coast to Newstart's headquarters.

There we were greeted by two smiling, ever helpful and very patient colour consultants who not only had to put up with our in decisions but also our three kids who did have plenty of fun with their display items. Think Nathan really liked the non slam toilet seats, with its soft closing action and no we are not getting them Nath.

Quick summary of colours:
External: Roof, gutter and garage door will be colorbond Jasper, bricks will be double brick from the Pavillion range in Mandalay and off white mortar, Fascia is paperbark, window frames is merino (which is very similar to paperbark).

Internal: Walls will be Taubmans Portland Stone, Door handles including kitchen will be satin chrome and the bathroom colours are well I'll let you see for yourself. Again we think it all looks nice with little samples but we won't know till it's built.

We changed the vanity sinks to well I call them fruit bowls:

We completed our electrical plans with the electrical consultant who was very helpful as well.

So quick check at where we are. We have done all colours, wet area tile selections and completed the house, electrical and kitchen plans. Just waiting for the final tender costings from Newstart and we will be ready to go to contract.

We also got covenant approval from the developers. Oh, need to find two (2) missing boundary pegs, where did they go?
