Labor Day Weekend

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. We just had our 3 day Labour day weekend, which was awesome. Also day light savings just started here in South Aus, which is so nice to have a few extra hours of day light in the evenings. I’m getting pretty excited as this all means summer is on it's way, my favorite time of year!
I went back to the house selection centre on Saturday to refresh my memory on a few things. I took mum with me, sometimes it’s nice to have a second opinion. We went over everything, I didn't lock as much in as I had hoped but it still helped to have another look. 

One decision I did make is to pay the upgrade cost for different brick mortar. I want white mortar using white sand. The standard browny-grey mortar just doesn't work with the Oyster bricks for the look I'm going for. The bricks end up looking dirty brown instead of a true grey. I think its defiantly worth the extra $$.

I'm still undecided on bathroom tiles. Iv narrowed it down to a few choices, but still unsure.
Also found a different kitchen sink with no drainers, which I love. Not sure if they will let me have it without it costing me a fortune, so waiting to hear back on that one.
Its pretty overwhelming trying to pick everything for a house all at once, but ill get there. Its slowly coming together.

  1. I love the grey brick with the white grout. I can't begin to imagine what it's like having to select everything before it has even begun. Lisa xo
