Almost there.......

Here's a few updated pics from the last week.

We had our front door, a couple of internal doors and the stair rail french polished and it looks fantastic! The guy who did it has such great skill! I have been marvelling over it but Sariah doesn't see the workmanship of it...it's really not that easy!



Here's just a shot of the kitchen and dining, It's hard getting a picture of that room so you'll all just have to come and see it!
The waterproofing all got done this week so all that's left to be done in the bathrooms is to hang the mirrors and install the shower screens, it's apparently happening on Thursday


The wardrobes were put in this week, no doors on them yet but that will be done in the next couple of days.

So all we are really waiting on now is the gas to be connected and we can get in there! We'll be doing the big move this weekend :) We can't believe it's finally time! Sariah is already organising the house warmingS so we'll see you soon!

We have power!

Check out a couple of pics under lights!

Bath

Just a quick pic of the Bath......

The wardrobes are all going in right now, the plumbing is all connected and there isn't really much to go.

Not long now :)

More pics!

Our Kitchen now with benchtops....woohoo!!!


Our ensuit all tiled up and finished
The beautiful deck which I just whipped up on the weekend....still to be stained obviously.
Our carpeted floors :)
And the bench top again.....we love it!!!

The Kitchen arrives!

Today was definitely one of the most exciting deliveries! (The bathroom tiles and the floors were my next two favourites!!) Elias manufactured our kitchen off site, according to our specifications, and then began the installation today. From the pictures you will be able to see this is done in pieces, e.g. the polyurethane cupboards and draws come separate from the stone bench top. We decided to go for 'alpine white' 40ml waterfall bench, I cant wait till that is delivered! The gap in the island bench is for the dishwasher, and the kick board hasn't been placed on yet.
This picture is for James, as he said John doesn't feature enough in this blog :)
This is my beautiful 90mm oven, imagine the Masterchefing I will be doing in there!
Our pantry and laundry cupboards were also made by Elias which were installed today too...
In other news, Joe informed me we seem to have a spider issue in our area, probably due to all of the excavation that is going on around our block. This is very concerning for me, however, Joe said he has a pest guy who will soak the house in spray if needs be, so I am slightly comforted.
John's great idea this week was...why don't we get a pool? Initially I said flat out NO. Then he kept going on and on about how great the price is that he's gotten, and that it will increase our house value by $50,000...etc etc. And now I'm being worn down by his constant references to swimming and sun...so we are considering the option. The pool would be resin and not concrete/tiled. I'm not sure I know what resin actually is or looks/feels like, so we will go to the pool place on Saturday to check it out. If anyone happens to know about resin pools, please let me know!
Sariah :)

A few more Pics...i'll let them do the talking

Colours and Tiles

On the weekend we spent the day at the house trying to pick colours.

Why does choosing a white have to be so hard?!?!?!

We picked a few colours and Sariah painted them on big pieces of cardboard so that we could hold them up against different walls and see what they'd look like.
Turns out we picked the wrong white so it was off to Bunnings to see what else we could find. Needless to say I got completely well and truely over it by the end of the day but I do feel good with where we got with it all. Colours sorted! :)
The tilers were there all day Saturday and I must say the tiles are looking hot!! Here's just a snap of the feature wall in our ensuite. Kinda hard to see from the pics but it is looking great! Well done Sariah on the picks.
Fred the cleaner was also there on Saturday and it looks so beautiful now the scraps and dust are all gone. We've filled 2 full skips thus far, Joe has made sure the house has been clean through every step which we're very grateful for! Fred's back Tuesday to do a complete clean ready for the floor to be installed on Wednesday....so excited!!

A few quick pics
