We had to start from scratch with our floor plan, but luckily our new builder G J Gardner Homes does custom homes, so we could pretty much get the floor plan we wanted :-)
This is the (almost) final floor plan.
We are very excited to have a great layout with our large family/dining room with raked ceiling, and a wood fire place!!! Morso of course ;-) We also have an extra living area in the retreat with access straight to the garden, which has gotten bigger thanks to shrinking the house after re-assessing how much space we needed.
We will hopefully sign the contract this week, then we will just be waiting for paperwork (council approval etc.), and then hoping we can get our slab in before Christmas!!!
Our final colour choices was made this week, and we are very excited about our Scandinavian look choices. It will be great going back to our roots!
Here are the colour combinations;
The whole house will have engineered timber floors expect for the bathrooms and laundry, will be so nice to NOT have carpet anywhere!! Light Scandinavian timber floors :)
Our kitchen colours changed a few times, but with cabinetry staying white throughout. We did look at getting a glass splashback, but it turned out quite expensive, so we've changed to a beautiful subway tile for splashback!

The kitchen colour combination ended up with white cabinetry throughout the kitchen/pantry, with the light grey marble look stone benchtop for the kitchen and the light grey laminate look benchtop for the pantry. The Union Green Gloss subway tile for splashback, can't wait to see this, will be so beautiful!!
We will also get our handle-free kitchen happening!! This will be the profile on the kitchen cabinets, so no more getting caught on the kitchen handles when cooking dinner!!
In the bathrooms, we are being a bit more adventurous with both floor tiles and cabinetry colours...
 |
| Bathroom / Laundry floor tiles, with the dark blue cabinetry for the bathrooms |
 |
| Dark blue cabinetry, white stone benchtops and the dark blue tile as a feature tile in shower niches. |
 |
| Simple white subway tile for bathroom walls :-) |
For the laundry, we will have the same floor tiles as the bathrooms, however to break up the colour a bit, we have gone with a light oak colour for the cabinets, and simple white laminate for benchtops.
