27. Almost there!

This week we are looking forward to our final inspection and then hopefully is all goes well...
... handover and keys. 
Luckily we have had pretty regular access to the house and so have been able to draw our builders' attention to any minor things that need attention, with luck this will speed up the process.


The painting is now complete and the cleaners have started working their magic.

  Oh, loving the kitchen, can't wait to fill all those cupboards!




Freshly painted doors (Antique White USA)

Over the weekend Craig and I did some work on the outside. 
We hope to start the retic in over the next fortnight and get some plants in as soon as the limestone goes down.



We deliberated for some time over whether to paint the front doors or leave them as wood and varnish.
We are happy with our decision.




Everything is looking great, or we think so anyway which I guess is to be expected as we chose it :)

One item that is causing mixed feelings amongst our visitors and family is the ceiling fan in the alfresco!  Before I reveal the photo, let me explain....it has to be an outdoor fan, marine grade stainless steel...
and there isn't a lot to choose from. 
We could have a stainless steel metal job, a bamboo style or...


Ok..opinions are as follows:
Against (Dad, Greg, JP, Murray, Jade, Lisa)
For (Craig, Muzz, Shell, Niki, Jake, Linh, Sarah, Johanne, Andrea, Dell, Lidia, Amanda and Sheldon, Rhonda, Taylor, Hannah)........me??? 
Well I am still not so sure :)
What do you think?  Opinions welcome.



That is all for now...the next photos will hopefully be of the flooring going in and the limestone going down.

  1. Hi your house looks amazing :) I have a question, did you have to purchase a specific style of rangehood ie a slimline for your mantle style rangehood? I am after that look myself.

  2. Wow! What a stunning kitchen. Love the feature ceiling in your alfresco! Can I ask what your external paint colour is? It's lovely.

  3. Thank you. The rangehood is a Schweigen..slimline, undermount. It is apparently silent with an external motor.
    The external paint is Dulux Hog Bristle 200% in a texturecoat finish.

  5. I like your fan Linda. It goes well with the ceiling. When you put the furniture if it will make a big difference.

  6. Thanks Jo...I agree with you at the moment everything stands out but once we have our stuff around it will all blend in a bit. Can't wait to do the garden! Itching to see some greenery and get rid of the sand that is for sure.
