We introduced ourselves to the reception counter and advised them that we had an appointment. Once we were confirmed, we were asked to wait for our consultant upstairs in the waiting area.

We were then introduced to Amy, who was going to be our HOG consultant for the day. We didn't know what to expect. We thought that we were ready, but didn't realise that there were a lot of options (meaning upgrades haha) to choose from!

We started off with the exterior of the house. Going to PGH beforehand saved our lives, so that saved some time picking and choosing our external colours.  We forgot to choose the colours for our cladding and moroka finishes. Lucky we were able to do that there. I was probably indecisive for about 15 minutes choosing colours as they had every colour under the sun! Lucky Amy was helpful with assisting us to make up our mind! For cladding and moroka finishes she said you could pretty much choose any taubmans paint colour, hence the reason I was so indecisive! 

Oh also, we chose gravel for our bricks, which was in Range B for Eden Brae. We found out on the day that our upgrade was FREE because our design guidelines for our area were quite strict. Saved us $788! But that money went to other things haha.

So this is what we chose for our externals:

• Colorbond roof: Monument
• Gutter: Monument
• Fascia: Monument
• Bricks: Gravel
• Front Door: Quantum timber stain (dark oak) - UPGRADE
• Aluminium Windows: Apo Grey
• Moroka Finish: Taubmans Grey Street
• Cladding, Eaves, Portico & Alfresco Ceiling: Taubmans windy beach
• Garage door and hinged door: Shale Grey
• Driveway: Colour through concrete (CCS Onyx)
• Water tank: Shale Grey
• Meter box: Monument
