Our House

Congratulations Mrs B and family - you have a very beautiful house that will be a great home. Enjoy every moment - hope to see you in H and G or Vogue

Hi getting There
The floorboards are blackbutt done in a satin finish.
The kitchen is twopack
My drawers are not the most user friendly and it has taken a while to get use to them. I havent got long nails so I can use them fine. The pot drawers are terrific and the little tandem drawers inside are so handy to have. I probably wouldnt recommend these type of drawers if you have long nails. I know a few posters on other threads have already said they have difficulty with opening drawers without handles because of their nails. Hope this has helped

Thank you to everybody again who has wished us well in settling down into our new home. I will just say the stress of moving in almost sent me to the edge yesterday. At 7.30 the painter arrived followed by 2 foxtell blokes then the carpenter, plumber, landscaper, kitchen guys, mirror company and my SS to ask me if everything was OK. My nerves were holding until MrB told me that my lovely SIL is coming to 'see the house' in 30mins with the kids. Please, someone give me a drink D But...at least they were there! and that made me very happy

Mrs B

Just gorgeous! You must be very proud of all your achievements in creating such a beautiful home. When are the magazine phoographers coming?

Wow, i've just looked through the finishes pics of your things in the house now and it looks great! I just love love love your kitchen. And you dining table is gorgeous.

Thanks Jochicho for your really nice comments As for the wallpaper, yes I am definately going ahead with it in the WIP but just have to get the samples first. The wallpaper has gone to the 'back burner' a bit as the nightmare move has taken all my energy
As for the photos...I am trying to be selective in the angles I take the pictures so I suppose just thinking more about the picture I am taking. I am still not happy with the colours on my pictures but oh well

BTW...I am having real difficulties with loading pics at the moment on my blog...so slow and freezes all the time The landscaping has been finished so I will try and load pics her on this thread instead.
Mrs B

Here are pics of my garden...It is an all Australian native garden, plantings designed to attract native birds. It is a mixture of grasses and other flowering plants. It should take a few months to take hold so dosent look like much at the moment. It really was just a relief to get it done as soon as we moved in. All part of our contract, front and back. The side area is the only section left for us to do (not in photos)
The decking still has to be sanded and given 3 coats of stain...the guys are waiting for the garden to be finished to do this. I think it will have a red colour to it.

Mrs B

Simply stunning!! That pic of your facade looks amazing!!

Love the back of your house, the deck, the native plants and that gorgeous view - what a wonderful spot to sit on a sunny morning/afternoon.

Did you end up getting a security screen door for the front of your house, I can't tell in the pic but thought you may have. Whom did you use can I ask. We want to get them too

Hi bel

I just cant do it I love the green so much and if I did get a security door, it would hide the colour...even with that see through mesh stuff. I might down the track but atm, the alfresco doors need the security doors first as we use them all the time.

Mrs B

It looks fantastic. I looove your garden (and the fact it's all Australian natives!). What kind of wood are your floorboards? They look great.
