Kitchen - This is where the good things come from

"DH" went in the morning to check out whats happening at 9.30
"DW" went the same day at 4.30 and went round the house when the plasteres says "hey ur kitchen has come"

Was too shocked and what a surprise - Bare floor in the morning and an absolute work of art in the evening - This is what greeted us



We had always had concerns about the Blackwood Timber - Would it be too dark?
We did not want to spend more a nd upgrade to a more expensive wood and neither did we want Tasmanian Oak or Pine kitchen. (Buildres standard)
We were trying to create a timeless practical kitchen - we felt vinyl wrap coul dpeel off in years to come. 2 pac was too britlle. So we went down the timeless timber path. Tried our to make it as modern as possible. Guess we are showing our age :-)

Stairs - WOW

The stairs is in - It has come out much better than we expected.
After such a long time we had even forgotten what we had chosen. Worse still when we re-visited our selections we felt we had chosen the wrong style. It came as a pleasant surprise and we were delighted with the outcome including the kids
Last friday we went inside and went up and down a few times just loving it.






















Plastering in Progress

Plastering has been going at full speed

The plasterers have been friendly and co-operative.
They agreed to pull all the alarm/security cables thro the plaster
