Colour and Electrical Appointment

We visited Hopetoun Interiors today for our colours and electrical appointments. First was the colours, where we selected all of our finishes including: bricks, mortar, roof tiles, garage door, gutters, downpipes & fascia, windows, doors, door hardware, wall colour, cornice, skirting, bench tops, cabinetry, handles, sinks, basins, baths, taps, rails, stairs, carpet and of course the toilets - all which have soft closing lids - no more slamming - nice!  It was a great day, and our consultant Stephanie was really nice and easy to work with. We didn't take photos of our exact selections for everything, but we will add photos/style names in as we go if we can.



Door Handles
Showers, taps, towel rails and toilet roll holders




Exterior
Our brick colour is Homestead Mushroom, the render is Rattlesnake, other colours we are using are Gully and Woodland Grey (gutters, downpipes, garage door and other stuff) The roof tiles are Barramundi. Don't you just love the names of the colours?!

Kitchen

We are having a white on white kitchen (again)  As you know, we recently renovated our old kitchen - and loved it - so this one won't be much different. It won't be exactly the same, but there will be a lot of similarities - why change something we already loved?  The cabinetry will be polar white vinyl wrap (semi gloss) and the bench tops will be bone white (essastone) The kickboards will be a silvery grey colour.  We haven't decided on the splashback yet - it will be tiles, so we will choose that at our tiling appointment.


Electrical


Once colours were done, we saw an electrical consultant, Nathan. He was great to work with, knew his stuff, and was fast and friendly.  We managed to spend our budget upgrading lighting, power points, TV points, etc.  In a few areas they will supply the electrical rough-in and we can install what we like post hand-over - for example fans - we didn't really like the ones they offered, so we will choose our own.




We are considering the 7" Colour Video Doorphone with Recording and Perpetual Function..so we will see all our visitors, and we can see if the kids try and sneak out, and when they are older if they get home on time...mwahahahaha...
