He started mid November after his holiday to Bali (how annoying). We had been told was due back into town from Bali on the Tuesday, ad would be starting on the Wednesday. Yeah right we thought. We thought maybe on the Thursday he's come out for a look, think about what he was going to do, then start the next week. But no, we ducked out for a look late morning on the Wednesday and he was well underway.

It's a concealed rangehood and I really like it. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Built in desk in the study nook. The drawers are wrong, they should be 3 even drawers, not 2 and a filing drawer. I was going ot leave it, but decided to ask the cabinet maker to check his records (he's very laid back). Sure enough he realised they are wrong and will fix them. Pleased I said something, as it was annoying me. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Part of our WIR fitout. THis is the wall that backs onto the ensuite. THe door is in the middle, so we have a bank of shelves and double hanging on either side of the door.

This side backs up against our bedroom, and has single hanging in the middle, with a wide bank of shelves a either end. I think it is easily x2 as big as our current WIR.

We couldn't afford to do all tiling in here. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Main bathroom. We decided to go half way up the walls with the tiling in here. Partly for kid splashes, partly as this is what guests will see (rather than the ensuite). Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ THe bath. THese are the floor tiles that will go up and over the bath, and up the wall level to the white tiles.

These are expected to go in next week sometime, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Looking forward to seeing these and how they work with the tiles and everything. And just for fun, below is our front door 'lock'. It is a couple of bits of timber that butts up against the opposite wall to the door. I think it is very clever.

These are Quantum Quartz Tornado. Originally we were tossing up between Tornado and Mocha. When we had to re-choose our tiles to a more grey colour, we then chose the Tornado.

It really changes colour depending on the light, from a real grey to more of a brown/mocha colour. I was concerned when we first saw it they they had put in the wrong colour, but after double checking with the sample was reassured. The next step is to choose a splashback.
