Planning the Decor, the Electrics and the Kitchen

In preparation for our meetings for the decor and electrical planning next week, we spent most of the day going through the notes we had made last time we visited Kaarst.

We also finally got around to really trying out the CAD software that Viebrockhaus gave us just before we went on holiday,  putting in all of our selections (flooring, tiles, bathroom fixtures etc.) so that we could see what our house will look like when it is finished.

The software, in combination with the plan of the house with our modifications, is really great and gives us a really good impression of what we have to look forward to (although as we haven't got the final version of the plan, leaving some walls in slightly the wrong place).

Here are some ‘photos'…

Our huge open plan Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen…

Entrance Hall with stairs up to the first-floor, and down to the cellar…
Master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe…

Guest bedroom…
Bathroom (wrong layout)…

We also revisited the kitchen planning today. Because we have finally decided on lighter coloured ground-floor floor-tiles, the colour scheme that we had previously chosen didn't work anymore (two different light coloured woods which may clash with each other).

We have now come up with magnolia doors and carcases, dark grey worktops and dark grey plinths. When we go to the kitchen store on Saturday we will compare samples of this colour scheme (in case they look different to they do in the online planning software), and make our final choice.
