Dieskau is a great to al colour, infact it is a metamteric colour which has every undertone in it. this means you will see it adapts to its environment, and the colour tone will appear different in different light. I have used it extensively, and in the same home have seen it appear light taupe, beige and cool grey. I consider this colour an Architectural adaptive colour, and it will be suitable in both period homes aswell as contemporary interiors. Full strength is best. Dieskau always draws compliments.

We went with Monument and I am delighted. I was worried about it making the house hotter, but not at all as we added some extra insulation while the roof was lifted. We look over our roof to Mt Dandenong and it really feels like we are floating above the rooftops now (previously had a lighter color). I have also noticed there is far less glare being darker. Pic below is not my best shots ... but you get the idea. Forgot to add we also have a flat cliplock roof and used a combination of Monument and Dune on the house.

I agree, I think it will look lovely.

This is an ideal situation for a very short toilet. why do so many of them stick out from the wall SO far. Here it would be great if the loo was minimum eg. 450 from wall so as you can get past it easily. Yes you can use an in wall cistern but often the pan is still sticking out like a sore thumb. I would love to see a loo that is no further out than a vanity: neat, tidy discrete.
