Great progress ... love the wallpaper selections ... first one esp with the blue bottles

Great Nayvz!

For a bit of colour I really like the first one.

I'm planning to look for something in the family room behind the tv and maybe in the entrance hall on one side. They are only very small areas, but it's expensive. Might have to add it to my wish list...along with everything else I like the woods wallpaper that was used by Sophie on the Block. Or something similar which has a fine black & white print. There is a place in Geelong west on Shannon ave that does wallpaper and the paint shop on malop st near officeworks does too.

Mclaren and Stace! you have chosen my favourite wallpaper too
its also the most expensive one!
anyways plenty of time to save

I have my fingers crossed that the roof gets done today! It was booked in for last friday but due to the rain everythings at a stand still. ill go for a stalk this arvo.
this is a pic of the meter box stuff up. window is supposed to be where meter box has been put in. meter box should be to the left of the picture.

we have a roof over our heads!

it looks lighter than I imagined. I wonder if everything ive chosen is going to look different to what I remember?
anyways I love my roof!

great end to the week

Im soo happy that everyone has chosen nice facades in our street so far
there are a lot of houses in the first stages that are sooo boring
Stace I would definatley wait the extra week or so to have your vanity moved. it will bug you! cant believe they stuff things up like that

Love the wall paper.. we just put some wall paper as well in the hallway

Very fast progress you got your roof on...I am stalking your thread now


House is taking shape and looks lovely

I don't call it stalking. . . I call it neighbourhood watch

Nayzv - love the wallpaper. I am looking for something a little different and feel in love with the Birch Tree wall - was used on THE BLOCK. Just recieved my sample from England ( a third of the price in aus) and the background is to creamy.
Can you tell me the name of the 4th one you posted. The grey shades of leaves, or the website you ordered your samples from.
Really don't want to end up painting a feature wall. Love the oneyou picked I have seen that on my online searches, just doesn't go with my theme

Thanks muchly

Oh my that's just what I'm after, but I struggled to find it, can you please share where you were looking at getting it from?

Haha! DAZANDSTACE!!!!
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH!
I dont feel so creepy anymore! Im doing my neighborhood duty!

@THE RISE- I have ordered my samples from Sanderson, they only took a week to come, this one I got was whiteish and black?

the others Ive been looking at are from tesco.com also in england.
it is sooo worth getting them from os. the prices for wall paper here are rediculous!
I just looked up local wallpaper shops and searched their suppliers for a cheaper deal.

@j! hello! hows the house comming along? show me your wallpaper!!!! i thought you mustve been way to busy to hang out on homeone anymore "havnt seen" you in a while.

our feature bricks have arrived! BORAL DOMINO

and our bath??? what tha?

So can't wait to see your bricks go up. It's really exciting. I'll be driving the senic route past your place on my way home each night

Both builds our bath was delivered at this stage

So bricks still havnt started and were not wrapped either
they are definatley testing my anxiety levels!
mum drove past Saturday and the sparky was there so thats one positive! I finall ordered my new dining chairs
even hubby likes them so win win!

Love them! Im after same but probably black. They are compfy too.

Love your dinning room chairs.

Your brickies might have been held up in another job (rain) they will be in soon

thanks J I love them too

im starting to feel a little depressed that nothing is happening down at the house. its been 2 weeks since roof was finished and 1 week since bricks were delivered. our SS told us we would be at lock up today he definatley got that wrong!
ive noticed the other BB house in our street has now overtaken us and there bricks will be completed this week i should be happy for them... but im not. a friend built with simonds and same thing happoened to them, she told me my bricks will be done once the other house is finished.. i so hope that dosnt happen. Il go for another drive today to see if anythings started.
on another note my liason called yesterday to tell me my roof was finished and bricks hav been delivered great communication there. i didnt have the heart to tell her thats old news, she was a bit exited.

Awwwww, that was very sweet of you

Talk about feeling one thousand emotions!
I went to check on our progress, or lack of and I found a couple of tradies puting up plaster! OMG
I have no bricks but the inside of my house is still going according to plan!
I LOVE YOU BURBANK!!!!
Im so xited im gunna dance
