It's the Final Countdown!!

It's the Final Countdown!!

I know you are singing the song now!!.. hehe..
Well we are almost at the 'home straight' and it's now only a matter of weeks before we will move into our beautiful new house! Let me fill in you in on the progress since my last blog..

The Verandah & Alfresco decking has been stained and we are verrrry impressed with it - check out the photo above and below..

Our HUGE wardrobe was fitted out.. Lots of storage space (think I might have to buy some more clothes to fill it) hehe.. We selected to have draws, shelves and single and double hanging space - see below..

The tiles in the showers have now been completed and I am very happy with the outcome considering that they were originally meant to be laid vertically, but above and be all, the horizontal look with the additional tiles above look pretty good.. Just wanted to also thank Miguel for suggesting we do this.. Might just get you to come over and add another row of tiles above the bath though as I think it will match off better with the shower height.. :-)

My pantry also got fitted out. I can't say I love the support post right in the middle of my bench, but I will see what my father in-law can do to try and move or fix it to make it more functional. Also, worried now that my deep freezer is not going to fit in due to the support post that goes down the side of the bench to the floor. Might have to get it cut and have it sit on the top of the bench for support - I think that would look better anyway!

Pantry installed..

Finally the Kitchen sink is in.. Hubby's new toy.. hehe.. If you know me well, you will know I HATE, DESPISE, CAN'T STAND doing the dishes. Although, as you can see there is a hole for his dishwasher to be installed.. see I am nice enough to let him have a dishwasher.. haha

Love my new Kitchen.. can't wait to get in there and start cooking up a feast.. Anyone for a Roast? Today I went to have a sneak peak at the house as they started laying the flooring yesterday and I was a little concerned about the colour of the boards we picked... however, seeing them getting laid I was very happy with what hubby talked me into.. see below..

Entry.. Can you see anything new???

That's right.. the shelving has been installed in the Lounge room... I'm not sure if I love it yet!! Will have to wait till it's painted and maybe even till it has some photos, etc on it... Time will tell..

Well that is where we are up to at the moment. The guys said they should finish the flooring either Saturday or Monday. Carpet is also booked in to be done on Monday and then our Independent Inspector on Wednesday.. yippee.. so THEN we should have a date once we know if there are any fix/touch ups to complete!!

I tell you what... this has been a journey and a half.. will keep you posted.. :-)
