COLOURS AND ELECTRICALS DONE!!!!

Yesterday Tristan and I had our colour apt at 9am and Electrical at 2pm, its was a busy day but not as bad or as stressful as i thought it would be, Tristan and I didn't really have any big disagreements that we weren't easily able to compromise on, i think we both had very similar ideas.
I have some pics.......... I don't know if i can remember all the colours names so bare with me!!

We are also having our front windows in Timber same colour as the garage door (Upgrade)

All in all we had a good day, we slightly went over our budget but not by much!! We also have our tile apt next Saturday hmmmm.. hope its not too pricey does anyone have any idea if there is a Cat 1 600x600 white tile and if not how much to upgrade there tiles approx cost them??

Nearly everything in the tile range that you will want is an upgrade as all the Cat 1 tiles we found were ugly.

Ohhh i thought that might be the case Jay!!! Pretty much eveything eles was an upgrade in the house so why not make the tiles as well, we want a feature tile in the shower also, Did you upgrade your tiles Jay?? Was it very pricey??

Great job Tash. Also a huge fan of the Talbot display in our estate. They dress their houses better than anyone else. I think your exterior colours will look fantastic together too.

Love the way you chose all your colours in one hit, I haven't even thought about it yet, expect it to be difficult, so am not thinking about it until I really have to. Well done neighbour.
