Feature Pillars

As you may know I have been thinking of putting stacked stone to the two front pillars of the house. This is what happens when I wait...... lol

 Since our bricks are quite dark, I think the white stacked stone will look awesome!
We were initially going to paint it.. but thought we would go something different. Plus I love the look. I guess... I have to research how much they cost.

Here are some examples below:

The white stacked stone example with slight shimmer.

It feels like centuries later.. still waiting.

A week has gone past since our last update. Allworth were sending plans through to Sydney Water for approval. And you know what? More waiting!

The taking so long side..

I dont know.. but Im kind of thinking the paperwork side for Allworth is bloody taking forever! We email our CSO and get a reply a week later, didnt even get a final tender yet so we can go to the bank to fix up the pre-approval. Their communication is definitely lacking. I'm actually quite annoyed about it. 

Thought I'd post our Colours and Upgrades.

Even though I have posted our colour schemes in my old blog, I thought id post it again to help other bloggers out there :)

Here are the colours we have chosen:

Bricks: PGH - Truffle

Roof: Monier Tiles - Barramundi (Horizon)

We also had Snow Drop as our Eaves.
