Picky picky picky!

Too darned organised with this build...I think?

Other than the drapes and blinds we have picked everything for this house!  We just confirmed the roof tile which is the Monier Madison in Sambuca (black).  Our bricks are Austral Nougat single height and have Warm White Pearl for the joinery. But it doesn't stop there!!

We have signed off on the carpet and Vinyl planking for the house and will sign off on the tiles for the bathrooms soon.  I have designed the kitchen and picked (with a bit of help) the cabinet type, glass splashback, accent colours and handles.  The tapware and shower, bath and well........it feels like everything has been picked!!!  Plus it doesn't stop there either with all our choices we have confirmed.

There is a certain amount of stress lifted off doing all the major choices before we signed off on the contract but on the other hand I feel like I am ready to dress the house before the plans have even been approved from Council!  I must say there is definitely benefits with being organised and knowing what we want.  One of which is seeing how our budget is sitting with P.C sums for the areas of expense in the house and then being able to cut back here and there and trim the fat off to ensure we aren't choking on a mortgage for the rest of our vital lives.

Thankfully I have a few projects up my sleeve to keep me grounded till we need to concentrate again on aspects of the Build that need our attention.  I need to get into the refinishing of the furniture that we are using for other rooms once the house is built.  Maybe that will help me get focused on things in the present to help soothe my mind and to keep my gray matter from racing forward to the moving in day.  I will get cracking and post pictures of the products we are using soon.  Plus I think that doing this blog will help me keep in the here and now.

Will check out other more professional building blogs to "borrow" ideas of layout for this blog to display the materials and sample pictures.
