You know how I said yesterday they were starting today? Well they jumped ahead of me and I heard a rumour yesterday morning there was some activity at my block, so of course I jumped in the car to stalk the neighbourhood. I didn’t have time to pack a picnic lunch! I squealed…

Wednesday house update: the floorboards
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!…
Wednesday house update: beige or grey floor tiles?
I brought home some tile samples last week and thought I had decided on huge white wall tile, and big grey floor tiles. But as the days have gone on, I’m thinking of other options… I’m definitely doing the white wall tiles, and white bathroom vanities, with some sort of white feature…
Decisions, decisions
Yesterday went well, I think. I picked lots of goodies for my new house. Now I’m just waiting for the final quotes to come in (holding breath – anyone got a job they can give me??). LOL! I am still a little up in the air about my bathrooms. That’s…
Today I’m picking my kitchen and bathrooms
I’m up bright and early today. It’s going to be a fun day! I’m off to pick my kitchen and bathrooms with Jodi (who is my colour/interior person and her husband is our builder – they don’t live in Wagga now, they used to – you’ll see that on her…
Unusual and hidden talents
We all have a talent (so The Universe says). Some of us have discovered them, some of us haven’t. My sister, Amie, discovered hers only 6 weeks ago… We always knew Amie loved to bake, but we never knew she could do this. Heck, she didn’t even know! Amie has…
The kitchen splashback
I could talk about this subject for hours… I love a good kitchen splashback. But today I am discussing mirror or pressed metal?? I’ve done both – pressed metal in the last house we built (I painted mine white) and a mirror one in my “The Block” house. This year…
Shopping at IKEA today. I’m doing it.
I am that clever today because I wrote this post yesterday. Check me out! I hardly ever plan in advance for my little bloggy. But today, when you read this, I will be on my way to Melbourne. I have a few doctor visits today. A few tests, a chat…
I have a decision to make about a fireplace
Morning! Thanks for all your votes, emails and comments about the floorboards yesterday. The jury is still out, but we may have narrowed it (husband has gone off the dark boards – hallelujah!). I think I need to see some real samples now in the driftwood, smoked and black and…
Which colour floorboards will I choose?
I need some help! I’ve done this before and every time we get to the floorboard colour choice in the house I can’t decide. Why are there so many choices!? My husband does like to weigh in on this decision (oh the horror, how dare he! *stomping my foot* haha!). He has…
No good can come of this
Fancy sending this home with my kids. What a mean thing to do. Ok, I may have fist pumped and written “YES thank you” on twitter last night. They’ll be gone in a week if they sit at my house. The fights have already started. No good can come of this…
Stainless steel bench-top in the laundry?
Thank you so much for all the love yesterday. I had such an amazing day. I am still buzzing! So much to think about and organise and I have a hundred blog posts running around in my head! But this post today was one I had prepared earlier and I…
