Talk about Indecisive!

Well i thought our colours were all signed, sealed and not really delivered, but then we went driving around and saw similar houses with black windows like we originally wanted. Although we don't want a house that looks too dark it is hard to choose colours that co-ordinate with our bricks to get the look we want.

The colour consultant suggested flush off white mortar with our Ironstone bricks. We ended up choosing a raked mortar and agreed to the off-white, but then after seeing it on houses with similar colour bricks, we both agreed that that was not the look that we wanted for our house.

We wanted a raked natural morter, and hopefully it does not look too yellow against the bricks. Time will tell. We also changed our Paperbark windows to Black as we originally wanted. The roof tiles, guttering and fascia will remain as black. We were undecided though about the garage door. We have selected a Paperbark, but tossed up jasper and Sandbark as well. We were warned away from black as it was too dark.

So we hope we have got it right now. I feel a little more comfortable with black window frames on the brickwork. I want the render and garage door to be the feature of the front facade, not the windows.

We will not know for sure until it is built, but we feel confident that it should look pretty good.

I don't think that i want to go driving around for a while, we are happy with everything so far........
