More interior colour details

Okay, so you've seen some of the exterior, kitchen and flooring choices, now that I have a few minutes spare, here are the wet area details.

Upstairs
For the main bathroom we have chosen a charcoal tile for the floor and the bath hob, matte white rectangular wall tiles in the shower and a simple but lovely charcoal and white feature tile strip for the shower. I can't find the feature tile on the suppliers website to show you, but here's the bench top and floor tile images. The cupboards will be Laminex White Silk Finish Gloss which has a nice shine to it and complements the wall tiles nicely.

Quantum Quartz Luna White Benchtop

Lifestyle Charcoal 400 x 400 Floor Tiles

For the ensuite we really want to make a feature of our lovely white freestanding bath and the double vanity, so we have gone for the above 400mm x 400mm charcoal tiles on both the floor and all the way up the walls to make the white really stand out. We have once again gone with Luna White for the Vanity Top, but in this case the cupboards will be Polar White Silk Finish Gloss as it is a better match to the bath than the standard white. We will have the following feature mosaic in a strip 30cm wide up through the shower and also in the two tiled niches (one in the shower and one at the head of the bath).  These are the ones that look purple when I try to take a photo of them. They are actually black and silver with a bit of shimmery bling to them! I think they will make the ensuite look moody and really beautiful. We can't wait to see that room come together. 



Downstairs
In the laundry and powder room we will use 450mm x 450mm floor tiles in Belga Grey. They are really lovely and look good up against the timber flooring downstairs. If we weren't having timber flooring downstairs we probably would have picked these for the entire living area floors without hesitation.



Benchtops in these downstairs rooms will be just a small section around the basin and laundry tub, so we have chosen a dark colour, almost black, for something different to the upstairs rooms. The cupboard doors will be in Laminex Zincworks. I'm not including an image of the Laminex because the sample online is not very accurate and doesn't show its lovely silvery sparkle! It will add a bit of glamour to the rooms without being over the top.

There is no news yet on the release of title for our land, but we have an appointment in a few days to sort out the electrical plan for the whole house, so we will be closer to being ready to go when the land is ready. The electrical meeting will include any extra power points, exhaust fans or lights that we would like, plus they can do internet prewires and home theatre prewires. They can organise to install light fittings that we purchase elsewhere, but they won't do pendants or ceiling fans, so we will get them sorted after handover as we would like some pendants in the kitchen and dining area and have found a great ceiling fan for the alfresco area (see below). Apparently airflow from a fan is a mosquito deterrent, so we may end up with 10 of them whizzing away given my track record with bites!
 
Ciao for now!
