Cosham Interiors Pre Selections

Well last Sunday I got a little bored sitting around at home, so what do I do? Drive an hour to Cosham Interiors in Mount Waverley of course!

I spent about 2 hours in the afternoon just walking around the showroom and writing down all my pre selections. I now understand why they allow about 6 hours for the colour consultation fr a single story home. In my 2 hours I only completed the exterior, laundry and only just started on the kitchen. Its a really big process and the decisions are really important. That's why I felt its best to take the time now to start selecting the core items. At least if Luke or I change anything in the mean time it will a lot easier to change a small section. (hopefully)

The staff were really helpful, they were there to help whenever I need it.

I've taken a couple of photos of what I've chosen so far....

EXTERIOR 

We're still undecided on the brick. Its a toss up between CAT 1:- Austral Homestead Redgum or CAT 2:- Austral Chestnut (Extra $433)
We've contact Austral and now just waiting on some addresses in our local area that have used these bricks recently. Cosham Interiors suggested we go see the bricks on a larger scale. The single bricks just don't show enough characteristics.

Option 2:
Splashback: Gloss White 200x600 (CAT 2)

KITCHEN
I went to the showroom without Luke this time. He's already said he doesn't like the kitchen selections I've chosen as it looks too white. He's thinking we should do a matte grey tile as the splashback.

Option 1:
Splashback: Glass "White on White" (CAT 1)
Benchtops: Caesarstone "Ocean Foam" (CAT 1)
O/Head Cabinetry: Laminex "Polar White"
Silk (CAT 2 -$50p/door)
Lower Cabinetry: Licorice Linea Natural Finish

Option 2:Splashback: Gloss Alabaster 300x600 (CAT 2)
Benchtops:Caesarstone "Ocean Foam" (CAT 1)
O/Head Cabinetry: Laminex "Parchment"
Silk (CAT 2 -$50p/door)
Lower Cabinetry: Licorice Linea Natural Finish

FLOORING
I dont mind option 1's carpet. Its the right colour and as long as we upgrade our underlay I cant see a problem with it..... However Luke HATES it!! He thinks it's too commercial looking, though he does bring up a good point about how long it will last when it comes to us getting a pet.

Option 1:
Carpet: Sandy Point " Big Drift"
Timber: Bolero "Rustic Coffee" (CAT 1B)

Option 2:
Carpet: Briceville Hills "Pebble"
Timber: Bolero "Rustic Coffee" (CAT 1B)
