Benchtops, Landscaping and Curtains

Hi Everyone!

Phew........ what a whirlwind.

A lot has happened in the past few weeks. 

It's been insanely busy but we're getting through it.

We are moving in 2 weeks 

however not a lot of packing has been done as I've been working at the office every day.

The kids have gone to Sydney with mum and dad 

so we let our hair down on the weekend and went to a few outings

(did we ever!)

I'm sure you'll notice a few new things in this post....

We have landscaping

 ...and grass (thanks for your help Dad!)

Who said we didn't have a backyard?

 We also have pool coping which looks fantastic!

Remember this was my first 'definite' when I chose the tiles

and they go perfectly with the rock wall don't you think?

They are an Italian Porcelain

 There are 2 pool gates

 These are the side fins which you haven't seen yet.

They let the morning sun in and give us a little privacy.

 The Curtains were installed and they look beautiful.

They are a similar colour to the ones in the Sugarcube 

& change colour in different light (I think these ones are even nicer though). 

The linen in them makes them look a little imperfect 

(you know I love organic finishes).

The installer asked me why I didn't want automated curtains and blinds

and I said, "because I like to keep it real" :)

If I can't open and close my own curtains, there's something wrong.

The kitchen bench top went in too!

We've used 'Oyster' Caesar Stone again. 

I like it because it looks like Concrete (but is easier to maintain)

We also used it for the living area.

There's still timber veneer to go on all of these cupboards

and you can see the cut-out for the fireplace.

(the cabinetry has been soooo slow...

our clients' cabinetry always gets done in time but ours is always late.

I'm done with that, let me tell you!!)

 This is our sideboard (with 'Zeus' high-gloss 2 pac and Pietra Grey Marble bench

with a Shark nose edge (we wanted to bring some angles in from outside)

 We are looking for a nice big mirror to go above it... 

 The laundry bench is 'Walnut' Caesar Stone

and so is the bench top in our ensuite

The timber veneer is also called 'Walnut', and I really like it.

and here's the first coat of our 'Zeus' bedroom wall.

'Zeus' is the new black (I know... I'm a bit obsessed aren't I)

I know this is an epic post, but I've had so many people asking me for updates.

It's a nice excuse to get out of packing too :)

I hope you're all well.
