Initially I had my heart set on the Ascot MK2 from the affinity collection. We took a chance and drove to Greenvale to check out the Dakota as I really liked the layout on paper. Well it turns out I also liked the layout in person! It's got one less area than the Ascot MK2 but the spaces it does have are lovely and large and provide us with flexibility. And just take a look at that kitchen! It's truly a thing of beauty. When I saw it I was floored :) that's a kitchen I could definitely bake cookies in!
So I have my colour browse appointment this Saturday and it's quite a drive, so I'll be staying a bit longer and taking many photos since I'm OCD like that :) my main aim in the selections of colours and fittings is to create a mix of classic that will age well yet with an injection of character. Big builder homes in their nature all look same-y even with the variety of colour selections and I really want to give the house some personality. More on the design ideas later :)
We have been assigned a CLE and the contract is being written. We're looking at a tentative June build start, possibly moving in before Christmas if the cold and rainy Melbourne winter allows. This might be the one and only time I'll be hoping for no rain! :D
