I saw your old bricks on your blog...and I think that I prefer the new ones! Horrible though to be given such short notice to make a change! Re: Country Living .. here we come!! 22Jan 13, 2009 12:46 pm Hey guys,
Well I have locked in our new choice, and they have been ordered.. no going back now.. and I couldn't be happier! I love the new bricks. I was always worried with the other choice that they would look too washed out, or speckledy ( is that a word? lol).. but with the new ones, I am not worried at all.. (except maybe that they will be too red lol) You can see my old bricks on my blog ... ( I would put a pic up, but i am at work and not sure how to do it from here) -Sha Re: Country Living .. here we come!! 23Jan 20, 2009 10:27 pm Things are moving at lightening speed on our block... Our frame is mostly up, and roof trusses will be going on tomorrow..
I am feeling worried about the hallway, as it seems too narrow.. Any ideas to make it feel wider? We are going to paint the wall that you see when you walk in the front door, as a feature colour. Hopefully that will breakup atleast some of the wall.. Also our paint is an almost white colour ( White illusion from Taumans), so fingers x'd it will all look fine. We cant decide whether to make the floor tiles or PVC strips that look like wood.. any suggestions welcome Please check out our blog for latest pics. -Sha Re: Country Living .. here we come!! 24Jan 20, 2009 11:19 pm Sha I had the same panic about our hallway. Once the roofing timbers went on it felt much wider. Just wait and see. Re: Country Living .. here we come!! 25Feb 01, 2009 11:40 pm Hey Everyone,
Just a quick update on our house.. We have the roof almost completed, windows and doors are in, and the bricks are due to start tomorrow, (they are already on site). They aren't the same as what we chose, but we think they will look good anyway.. and our baths were installed today. Sorry for dark pic of the front. I was too busy looking around and forgot to take the photo until almost too late -Sha THE FRONT Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ THE BACK Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I would be wary.
