Dale Alcock in the Perth Hills...a few more pics...

Oh my goodness, the peer pressure!! Ok, Ive taken a few photos for you. None of the bedrooms though as we havent had our shutters installed yet. 2 more weeks, its killing me! Anyway, I hope there are enough here to satisfy you all!!

Our ikea cupboards before the doors went on

After the doors went on (kickboard still to be done). Im planning to wallpaper the whole wall including the cupboards to try and hide them. Not sure how that is going to go.

More ikea. We each have a basket for our shoes, and the rack is a great dumping area for coats, bags and hats

Pantry with the doors open. Still a lot of work to do in here. The cabinet is our old tv unit.

Would have loved to have bought a brown aged leather couch but this one will have to do for the time being

Front door security screen. Wanted to be able to leave the front door open so the breeze could go through the house.

Grass tree we got from a friend who didnt want it. Planted it a couple of weeks ago and its not looking good. So wished it would survive

And all the other outside stuff to do. So much its hard to know where to begin. All under the verandah will be decking. Hubby wants to do that himself, so I could be waiting 10 yrs till its finished

There is so much to do but Im enjoying the fact that this is our forever house and we can take our time.

Wow Tracyw you've done so much and it's looking fantastic. I love the flooring and the kitchen and the laundry it all fits together perfectly.
So much to do, but if it's your forever home well worth the effort and patience.
Congratulations. Enjoy.

Excellent job--looks like a fabulous home. Love the laundry and a place for shoes.

looks great, Where did you get the jute rug and the wooden herb planters from? I think might have to steal your laundry seat and hooks idea, looks very practical.

The jute rug is from perth natural floors in subi. This was a custom made size but they have 2m x 3m ready made ones in their shop i think for only $250. The planter boxes are from bunnings. I plan on buying a lot more for my front verandah. I love them!
