This week we had our two day World of Style colour selection appointments.
We were able to lock in nearly all our our choices. There are only a couple of things we are still making up our mind on.
Kitchen we decided Pearl Grey colourtech cupboards with Satin finish, Colonial profile and Salemi knobs. We choose Lagoon bench on the island and Blanco Maple for the back bench and galley. Brick lay tiled splash-backs in Masia White.
Salemi Knobs
Savelli Handles
Masia Splashback
Island Bench Lagoon
We opted for the Neil Perry 2 X 60cm ovens, stovetop and range-hood as the kitchen space is where we wanted to invest.
Laminate floors to most of the ground floor in Bolero Rustic Stone
Wall colour throughout in Southwards by Wattyl with 90mm Concerto cornices (ignore the 75mm listed in document below)
We selected Colonial profile architraves (92mm) and skirting boards (140mm) to add more character.
Carpet to all living and bedrooms we went for Lenton Brae Grey (Category 3) with the Stepmax underlay (Category 4) to reduce noise transmission.
Downstairs tiles to wet areas we went for Forest White
Floor tiles in the upstairs wet areas is Forest Grey
For the main bathroom and guest room ensuite we chose Forest Grey floor tiles, Bleached Wenge cupboards with Riven finish and Blanco Maple Benchtops. For our master ensuite we choose Pearl Grey cabinets like in the kitchen.
Bleached Wenge cabinets
We’ve asked for all bathroom wall mirrors to be left out so we can choose our own and hang them as per below. In our master ensuite we have also opted for the two wall light provisions for a future sconce.
External we chose:
Render – Timeless Grey
Roof – Basalt
Gutters, fascia and garage door – Surfmist
Lining boards – Champignon 1/4 strength which is the colour from the Bayside Brookwater display home.
Meter Box – Windspray
All pillars, balcony and window frames – Purist White.
We have opted for the Expresswood ceiling panels in the porch and alfresco ceilings but in white was rather than the solid white pictured below.
And the two PCL4G front doors as per below.
Window frames will be Pearl White Gloss aluminum by Stegbar.
We left our colour selection appointment feeling confident about our choices and excited about the next step.
(*Edited to add: By the time we got to painting stage our painter advised against Wattyl White saying that it was a semi translucent paint and recommended Purist White instead which we went with.)
great selection, are you able to provide an estimate on upgrading your kitchen to colourtech? i also want colourtech and not sure how much we should be budgeting for it.

Hi Diana, it was about $7000 to change the kitchen to colourtech. This was the most expensive upgrade from our Kitchen Culture appointment. Other things like knobs/handles, bench, tiles etc were upgraded too but were all much cheaper to change.

Also keep in mind that a Galley is not part of the kitchen. Colourtech in our galley was about $1500 uograde. It’s very easy to spend your budget and then find out that the galley is separate. We were caught out a bit in a promo that included upgrades to the galley but only 2.5 meters of cabinetry. Fortunately it wasn’t too much but without promos it would add several thousand for colourtech, stone bench, doors, handles, drawers, runnners, soft close etc. With our promos (sieze the dream) the kitchen/galley upgrade to the same as the Waldorf 48 at Williams Landing was a little under $10000

True. Our Galley upgrades were extra.

Hi
We are building the Waldorf 44 L and I just wanted to know how much you spend on your kitchen stone bench top and what category it is.
Thanks

Hi there, there are a range of factors that can vary the price of the island upgrade. It can depend on what inclusions and promotions you are already entitled to at the time. Our upgrade cost was $1519 for category 4 Lagoon to the island only in 40mm thickness however we then got a credit back because we did not go for a waterfall bench top which was included in the promo at the time. The credit was a part of a range of other credits and was not individually itemised so we don’t have the figure for the exact credit for removing the waterfall edges. Hope this helps.

Would you actually recommend building with Porter Davis? I’m currently looking at the Astor Grange, which is very similar to your home.
