Final Decisions

So now that the building is starting it is time to make some final decisions.
Of course I spend lots of time blog hopping to get inspiration.
The House that A-M built has given me lots of lovely ideas and we have decided to gowith or similar to her house exterior colour.  Had been looking for that perfect colour that wasn't too green or too pink or too brown or too grey.
white windows, athough after 10 yrs of constant window painting in the old house we have opted for the aluminium ones here, not quite as beautiful but more practical.
One of my serches led me to A View on Design  here 
A feature on a beautiful country home in NSW


Which leads me back to the question of the roof colour
Here they have used a dark grey
or the surf mist which I think A-M used on her house
Both look great.

Still pondering the bathroom walls


I love this look


The builder suggested a half tiled wall but not sure if you would
get the same effect with tiles???


Love this kitchen and the colour on the walls


What a lovely house.
Love to hear you thoughts.
Have a great weekend

Bathroom help Please !!

Ok, so here is my first challenge for the build so fair and need some advice.
In our ensuite  we have chosen and bought the bath

Chosen the tap ware


Chosen, ( I think) the tiles and bench



And mirrors (thank you AM for your wonderful inspiration)



Now am completely stuck on the wall tiles.
The builder has put in his budget for waist high wall tiles.  I'm not convinced, especially with these mirrors.
So, do I tile to the ceiling in a white tile, tiles on the walls just inside the shower in a matching wall tile in a larger rectangle and leave the walls just painted.  There will be 2 windows with white shutters, one above the bath and one over the towel rail.
Any suggestions are welcome.
