Finally! The fun part of the building process! Making all the selections for everything that will be in your new home! Rawson gave us 3 hours to make all the internal selections, this didn’t include tiling or electrical, for us it also meant we didn’t need to select our flooring as we’d already had an appointment earlier.

We had our appointment with Stephanie who was great throughout the entire process, she really helped keep us on track and helped with a few dilemmas we had with things like our stairs and ensuite wardrobe.

Now onto the selections!

COLOURS

We’re going for a very stark white which we can balance with pops of colour and the use of other textiles such as wood and glass. Hopefully it doesn’t look sterile once we’ve brought in some furniture and floor coverings too.

WALL COLOUR – MISS UNIVERSE – TAUBMANS

SKIRTING / ARCHITRAVES – CRISP WHITE – TAUBMANS

KITCHEN

We’re trying to go for a Scandi look throughout which is whites and wood tones, in the kitchen we’ve gone for white under bench cabinets and pantry and tasmanian oak above bench cupboards.

TASMANIAN OAK – WOODMATT – POLYTEC

BLOSSOM WHITE – MATT – POLYTEC

CLOUDBURST CONCRETE – CAESARSTONE

KITCHEN APPLIANCES

We’re using Electrolux appliances throughout, we installed them in out last home and they were great to use.

OVEN – 90CM – ELECTROLUX

STOVETOP – 90CM GAS – ELECTROLUX

DISHWASHER – FULLY INTEGRATED – ELECTROLUX

MICROWAVE – BUILT IN – ELECTROLUX

RANGEHOOD – 90CM INTEGRATED – ELECTROLUX

KITCHEN ACCESSORIES

Throughout the home we’re trying to keep to a Scandi look, we’re also trying to mix some black elements into it with door handles, taps, light switch and sinks. Most of our kitchen accessories are matt black to help maintain this look throughout.

Rawson have just started using Hafele for their kitchen accessories, they make some great kitchen storage options which we’re also hoping to incorporate into our kitchen and pantry.

Our kitchen will be handleless with the exception of our pantry doors and pull out pantry storage, hopefully we’ll also be able to use shark nose finger pull for all the under bench cabinets.

SINK – FRANKE

SINK – PREP AREA – FRANKE

TAP – EPIC – MATT BLACK – DORF

PANTRY – PULL OUT – HAFELE

SPICE RACK – HAFELE

BINS – HAFELE

HANDLES – BRUSHED MATT BLACK – HAFELE

BATHROOMS

Again we’re carrying the Scandi look throughout our bathrooms, very simple whites and blacks and hoping to bring some texture in with our tile choices.

In our Ensuite and Bathroom we’re sticking to chrome bathroom accessories and in the Powder Room downstairs we’re going to use Matt Black bathroom accessories. We’re sticking with the Caroma range of items.

POWDER ROOM

Lets start off with the Powder Room as its a little different to what we’re going to be doing in our other bathrooms.

SHOWER – LIANO – MATT BLACK – CAROMA

MIXER – CONTURA – MATT BLACK – CAROMA

BASIC MIXER – CONTURA – MATT BLACK – CAROMA

BASIN – CONTURA – CAROMA

BENCHTOP – CLOUDBURST CONCRETE – CAESARSTONE

VANITY – BLOSSOM WHITE – MATT – POLYTEC

TOILET – URBANE – CAROMA

TOILET ROLL HOLDER – URBANE – MATT BLACK – CAROMA

TOWEL HOLDER – URBANE – MATT BLACK – CAROMA

ENSUITE / BATHROOM

Our Bathroom and Ensuite will be fairly similar in bathroom accessories, we hope to make them a little different with the tiles we use.

SHOWER – TRACK – CAROMA

MIXER – CONTURA – CAROMA

BASIN MIXER – CONTURA – CAROMA

BASIN – CONTURA – CAROMA

VANITY BENCHTOP – CLOUDBURST CONCRETE – CAESARSTONE

STAIRCASE

We ended really liking which they’d done in the Chifley 37 display home in Thornton. So chose to go with that, one of the selections we didn’t anticipate being so difficult though was the stain colour. None of the match very well with our flooring which meant they would have looked poorly matched if we’d chosen one of them.

We decided we’d need to go for a colour drastically different from our flooring, so it was going to be either really light or really dark which meant black. In the end we went for a black stain in a satin finish rather than a polished look.

STAIN – EBONY – SATIN

STAIRCASE DESIGN – CHIFLEY 37 – THORNTON
