Its great to see your house getting into shape and I am very interested in all your choices as we still have NO IDEA what colour goes well with our Blue Pearl Bench Top. Although we wanted a lot of white in the kitchen and in the floor tiles we might have to reconsider the colour for the body of the Breakfast Bar. I'm afraid that white stands out too much in the rest of the living area especially when the sun comes in. So we dropped white and tried the sample of Blue Pearl with all kind of different colours. The Granite shows lots of Silver, Blue and a hint of gold. As I don't want the kitchen turn out too cool, Blue and Silver are not an option. A colour that is coming up every time is Laminex Stipple Seal but my husband does not like it very much so still a lot to do. I noticed the black window frames, are you having the Dark Grey tinted windows? cheers Thanks Annelies, I've noticed you've been looking at Coral Homes - have you made a decision? I must have missed that. Yes, chosing the colours is SO hard. It doesn't matter how many decorating magazines or web sites I've visted, I still haven't been able to get a clear picture in my mind of how it will all look. I've been anxious about all my choices, so now that we're seeing them come together its...interesting. The frames are 'anotec dark grey' which we chose because we thought the black would be too stark, and it was a good match for roof tiles (Barramundi) and the gutter (Ironstone). I have to say though, that is one choice we were SO confident about we didn't even consider lighter frame colours and now regret it. It does look nice inside, and will probably look even better when the walls are painted white, but we don't really like how it looks on the outside. When we made that choice most homes had dark frames, now light seems to be the way to be the trend and probably would have looked better with our bricks. We're having security screens installed and wanted these to be dark, so we just assumed the frames should be dark to match those. Now, we've seen light frames with dark screens and that looks great. Oh well - seriously, if colour coding a house is a concern, life isn't too bad at all is it, so I'm not complaining at all. I think the stipple steel would look good with the blue pearl. Have you seen a colour combination like that in any of the display homes? I'd even recommend going to a kitchen company - tell them you're renovating because they wont give you the time of day if they know you're with a project builder - and play with their 'big' samples there. A lot of them will have whole doors and a slice of benchtop so you can see how they all match. Also, the Laminex showroom at Murrarie has a HUGE range of samples and some lovely displays and is really worth a look. If you're finding it really hard to get colours that match the blue pearl, have you considered putting it behind glass for a splashback? You could keep the kitchen neutral and have that as a feature which would be lovely. They also have examples of that at the Laminex show room and could give you some advice on how to do it.
