So the rug is awesome, but the furniture isn’t.
Remember how I mentioned this rug? I got it yesterday. I LOVE it! It is just what I hoped it to be. BUT, apparently it’s just not working in the room with the furniture I have (Amie tells me this – and she is right!). I thought in my mind…
We’ve moved in!
We’re here! We’ve done it! I am very tired, but over the moon. We had lots of helpers over the weekend so we couldn’t have done it without them. I have a garage full of stuff still to unpack and already lots of furniture either doesn’t fit, or suit, so…
I’m packing
This is what I did all day yesterday. It’s coming together nicely. I’ll only have to do a bit more today and then I should be done. There is always a lot of stuff I like to take in the car, so that will be my job on the weekend.…
More house photos (8 sleeps to go)…
We’re in the thick of it now people! 8 more sleeps! It’s all happening. My husband has taken the day off work today to lay floorboards. I am loving them sick! They are a floating timber floor in Spotted Gum. The kitchen tiling has been grouted. I am so happy!!!…
House update: the fix out is almost done
Firstly, I wanted to say thank you for your overwhelming support yesterday. I am feeling a bit better again today and my attention has turned to my new house! It’s powering along… we’re almost there. I’ve got finials to go on the gables, plantation shutters to come and of course it will need landscaping. These…
Kitchen lights & a coffee table
Hi! Thanks for all the kitchen love during the week! I am really happy with it, so I’m glad you liked it. Well, today I am flat out in house-mode. I’m just about to head over there for the day to paint the eaves. Oh the glamour! But it’s looking…
House update: A little bit of everything
Morning! So, here is my house again this week… slowly but surely it’s coming along… I’ve been watching every day and something little keeps getting done. Maybe 4 weeks and it’s all ready! The gutters and downpipes are going on – just the finials on the gables to go (and…
House update: that wall is happening!
Howdy there! You know that wall I have sort of been carrying on about? Yeah, well it’s happening baby! First we started with a frame, which got changed and tweaked, but now I am starting to see it come together and it WORKS! This is what I call the front…
House update: the plaster has been hung photos
Morning! Just quick post today… the plaster has been hung! Here is the entrance. Glass to go in the sides of the door. Kitchen/family/dining. The hole in the ceiling is where that wall will be to house the fireplace (which will go in one day when my bank account is full again…
There’s a new app in town: Vine
Here we go kids, another APP to look after! But I think I like this one. It’s called VINE and is Twitter’s newest creation. People are calling it the video partner for Instagram (but Instagram is owned by Facebook, and Vine is owned by Twitter – still with me?)… Anyhoo,…
House update: the weatherboard is on & we have some plaster
There she is. Sitting there in the street. That blue sarking is going and we’ve got some weatherboard across the front now… It was so sunny there yesterday evening so it looks like a big white blob here. I can’t wait to see it with green grass and plants. I…
