My wife looks pretty sketchy in her red car sticking her camera phone out the window all the time... good thing everyone... (probably) knows us in town.

Thank you we are on the final stretch!

Most of the fence was done over the weekend before the storms.

Just need the gate... the letterbox... the hills hoist!?

Then PCI!

We even received our last payment request. (Never thought I would be so happy to see it)
That's great Rural!! You are nearly there - finally!

The sewing room is some kind of hot pink... my wife's pick coz that's her retreat. It's by Laminex

The kitchen bench is Frosty Carina, essentially one level down from the high end Calcutto (marble look) by Caesarstone. I'm justifying not going for uber-marble look by saying that the Carina will look cleaner... Haha!

I love the white Attica but I just cannot justify the price

I think I’m going to go with Pure White throughout which is expensive enough!

I think you will be fine to go with Pure White. The stone will still make it look fab. I think once you start going marble look you really have to make the rest of the house look luxurious or it could just look out of place!?

Our good friends in town just had their kitchen redone with the Pure White stone too. I think they are happy with their choice!


Otherwise I did make concessions to make our kitchen look premium. It's all just trying to count the dollars and cents in the end!!
