I would
1. Add a down light above the kitchen sink and the island bench.
2. Move the power point from the main entry to the hallway near outside the linen closet.
3.…

It will look great. Just remember that if you put a powerpoint on the island (like we did on the right side of the photo) that you do it…

No scratches and we have been in for 15 months.

So, we basically used both the colours you are looking at (very strange)
We used the white on the top because the kitchen is in the middle of the house and…

We had a great experience. We have been in for 12 months and only a couple of doors that needed tweaking and a couple of paint issues that needed…

We used Burnished Wood (Matt finish) and White (Silk finish) with Ice Snow Caesarstone for our kitchen.
Love how it looks.
We did glass splashback in the same colour as the wall.

We built with Coral in Newport. Had a fantastic experience. Obviously on the other side of town, but zero problems.

I would have an outward swinging door or a cavity slider.
That way it doesn't take up any space within the room

I prefer the flow of the Burbank

What is the size of your block. It really depends if you are after back yard or side yard.

I like your changes to the kitchen.
I would just put cavity sliders on the Theatre though.

I remember when we chose our brick for our last house that we went around the brick centre and I really liked one, but I didn't like the one next…

I remember reading something about this a while ago and it seems that the whiteness was caused by using cleaning products with bleach in them which then bleaches the grout.…

I would just put an angle on that part of the retaining wall and then continue to the boundary.

Just a different suggestion - I would flip the kitchen and meals/ dining with the family room. You can then fit in a large Walk in Pantry. I would…

It really depends on what you are drawn to. Most people head for warm white (usually have brown undertones) or cool white (which have grey undertones). Personal preference.
Go…

I think this is an improvement on the original. I remember seeing that one a few weeks ago. It flows really well. You have the biggest kitchen/ butlers…

We lived in a tiny rental while our house was being built and just loved the extra space once we moved in.

That's a great size and the big living/ dining will be fabulous. I love space.

I don't think the meals and living will both fit.
Depending on how big your dining table is, if you move the pantry to the side wall of the kitchen, you…

We love having the entry to the ensuite via the walk in robe. It means that you can close the door to the WIR and have a shower and…

I think it is a good size. .

We had Coral tile our alfresco last year and they don't tile the side.

I think your floorplan works really well.
Do you need 2 door into the guest ensuite as it doesn't leave anywhere for a towel rail.
One thing I would suggest is…

We have shine tiles (sometimes called lapato). They are a cross between matt and gloss. We have them through the whole house including in the showers and don't…

Thanks. You don't see all the brick lines once it is painted.

I have added 2 photos of our house - one before painting
and one after painting
Our render looked exactly like yours before painting. I hope this puts your mind at ease..

That looks exactly how ours did after rendering. It was then painted and looks perfect.

I know of 2 people in last 9 months who built with GJ Gardner (one at Narangba and one at Newport) and both unhappy. Not sure which franchise though.

Option 1 creates a much bigger space and when you are sitting on the couch, you can can still enjoy the outside space.
