I think I’ll do a Wednesday house update from now on. Seems like a good day to do it?
Ok, where are we? This week is THE week (apparently) where the plans are coming OUT of council… which means we can get some dirt turning on the block. Fingers crossed!
So what have I been deciding on this week? Apart from all the shopping I am doing (in my mind), I decided on my tiles. Grey. They’re grey. Done. And no feature tile. Just grey and white. Stylish and will last the test of time. I’ve locked that decision away. Thanks for all of your help too! I knew you’d all know what to do.
Now, on to floorboards… there’s another BIG decision.
I’ve had real floorboards, ones you sand, ones you don’t, floating floor and laminate. Every house we’ve had I’ve never had the same boards. I am picky and fussy. I’ve spent lots of money before and have been disappointed with the results. This time all I want is the right colour, for right price and ones my boys can run all over. Remember all your votes back here? Well, I think I’ve made a decision…
You’ll probably be surprised, but I have decided on laminate. Like these…
Of course it’s too hard to tell what they really look like in a photo from my iPhone. But I think it’s the winner. Laminate has come a long way… some of them look and feel fantastic. I’ve been living with samples under my feet in my kitchen all week. We’ve been walking on them, slopping food, dropping things – just to test them. This one above is the winner at the moment. I’ve been to every floorboard shop and looked online, but this little baby came from Bunnings!
Another decision ticked off the list. Next I’m off to finalise my kitchen…
Hope you’re surviving the school holidays. We’ve already had a smashed window, spent a tonne of money at the movies, I’ve had to top up the groceries and today they’re off to a rugby league clinic (4 hours of peace!). It’s never dull around here 😉
See you tomorrow!
