Colour scheme

So I've finally had a chance to upload our colour scheme. I had a little hissy fit the other night over the colour of our roller door (we originaly chose colourbond 'paperbark'. I then realised how dark this was, it was more like a beige than the cream i was after). We had a look at many photos and websites and Nath was very calm while I was in my flurry over what colour we should have. It was for the roller door, fascia, down pipes, timber work at front of house, infill above garage etc, so a fair bit.

We asked PD after the 48 hours from our Hopetoun Interiors selections and they were still happy to let us change it. So thankful!

SO here they are.... drum roll.....



sorry about the rotation, not sure how to fix this one....
The bricks are Homestead Red Gum
Tiles are... midnight

Guttering- woodland grey, the one right in the middle
Gutter Facsia - Classic Cream
Roller door, infill above roller door, facade posts, rear garage door- this was going to the be the darker 'beige' colour ('paperbark'), but we've changed it to classic cream
Windows- white birch

We are going for the traditional looking house, with the red bricks and creamy tones etc. SO hopefully these colours should do the trick.

INSIDE...
We chose the flooring pack ($7199) and with it got to chose from Bolero timber look floor boards (so laminate) and carpet. We were wanting a light and bright house so chose the following:

our beautiful bolero flooring! it has such a lovely texture to it



AS you can see the floorboards are quite light, they are called rustic nougat. They have a lovely texture to them, so not just flat and shiny like many fake floorings. The bottom swatch on the right hand side of the photo is close to our wall colour, we chose etheral white (slightly creamy). The other swatch is our essa stone bench top. French Nougart. And the carpet is obviously the carpet. We didnt upgrade the carpet and the girl at HI advised us not to as it would be too expensive. We opted to upgrade the underlay though, so we get a softer feel.
