To council at last

Since my last blog, we have approved the plans to go council. We have visited Boral Bricks, Westside Ceramics and PGH bricks and tiles.

The plans went to council last week with only a few changes from the original. The island in the kitchen is still shorter than i have asked for - i have spoken the the consultant about this and they will fix it. Other than that we are happy with the house plans.

Today was a busy day, we visited Westside Ceramics which luckily was just down the road from our house plus ran a few other errands. Tiles was chosen for the main bathroom, en suite and laundry. The colour scheme chosen was charcoal floor tiles and white glossy wall tiles. This will go well with the light gray wall paint. One thing i found out was that the wall tiles does not go as high as i expected in the wet areas - this will have to be done after handover.

Tomorrow we have an appointment with the colour consultant at Kellyville - this will also include choosing our electrical - extra power points or light points etc.
