Hi guys - We are in! We don't have internet yet or a phone line for that matter (awesome work Telstra) but as soon as we do I have a million pictures!
The move went pretty well - all the appliances are in and working perfectly. The first load of washing we did caused a major flood right through the wall and into the lounge room, but all has since been fixed and no permanent damage is evident.
We have our new furniture and it all looks lovely, so far we are loving our new home and the area we chose.
Fences should be up tomorrow Toni - feel a bit like we are living in a fish bowl at the moment but the temporary blinds from Bunnings are working a treat! Feel free next time you are down this way to pop in and say hi!

That is my main fear when moving in, plumbing/water issues (the house not me  ) ShareeWe have our new furniture and it all looks lovely, so far we are loving our new home and the area we chose. That is great to hear. I was out our new house all day today and it was lovely. So quiet and I met a few people walking down the street with their dogs when I was out front washing the paint tray and roller. Everyone seems quite friendly. I can't wait to be there full time!

Feel free next time you are down this way to pop in and say hi! Yep, fences will make a huge difference for you. Aren't the redi-shades great! They work really well. That Company must be making a fortune! Will pop in soon, kids wanted me to last week..........thanks 16 Dec 2007 34 Melbourne Junior Member Re: Building our Flagstone - Pics of our latest decorating! 303Dec 22, 2008 8:57 pm Congratulations Sharee.

Re: Building our Flagstone - Pics of our latest decorating! 310Dec 23, 2008 2:57 pm I can't believe how clean you have it. It all looks beautiful and I love your "brown" tiles and those lamps in the bedroom. Where is your Chrissy tree? and the champagne?? Re: Building our Flagstone - Pics of our latest decorating! 311Dec 23, 2008 3:32 pm Thanks everyone! It will be lovely to have Christmas in our new home.
SuH Christmas tree is just to the right of the dining table - it didn't make it to a picture. and as for the champagne, that is long gone Re: Building our Flagstone - Pics of our latest decorating! 312Dec 23, 2008 5:01 pm Congrats Sharee - all looking gorgeous (esp Cohen!!!!!!!  ) We're in too - and so flat out!!!!!!!!!!

Although a little too late.. All your furniture looks fantastic! And as everyone has already mentioned, your house is sparkling clean! Can I ask how you did it? Congratulations on your new home! You may remember me as "pringles", on such websites as Homeone. Building Atlantique Mk2 with Carlisle. At completion stage. Regards Re: Building our Flagstone - Pics of our latest decorating! 315Dec 28, 2008 3:22 pm It isn't that clean believe me! I HATE clutter though, so have a habit of throwing out or giving away anything I can't find a spot for (drives DH mad as he is a hoarder!)
So I guess if you don't keep alot of stuff around it seems cleaner? Anyway thanks everyone for the feedback, still lots do, need some art for walls, blinds have been ordered as has a pretty light for the master bedroom. Downlights shouldn't be too far away for the rest of the house and then we have to start on the outside Re: Building our Flagstone - Pics of our latest decorating! 316Dec 28, 2008 4:08 pm Sharee, your home looks fantastic!
Well done, I bet you are sooo excited! As you should be!

Firstly we painted the render 'cafe grey' I think it looks much better. Our front landscaping is also done! The idea is to move the tap, and put pavers up the path leading to the door. (fingers crossed the plants can survive this heat) (notice the cheeky baby peeking out the window!)

Love the new render colour and your artwork and lights are beautiful! How cute is your DS and your puppy (staffy right?) !! My karma ran over your dogma re the stepped cracking above the door.
