We're in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 76Jul 01, 2012 3:19 pm Thanks heaps everyone, I really appreciate your support. I promise lots of photo's soon. Unfortunately the computer is still hooked up at my FiL's. I've just ducked back to get another load of clothes so just popped on to say hi. Once we're all unpacked I promise lots of photos. It feels so great to be moved in. My DH woke up this morning and said "it feels like we've finally moved home". Our owner-builder journey - viewtopic.php?f=38&t=45187 Re: Another OB in Perth Foothills... Total photo overload 77Jul 12, 2012 12:42 am Get ready for a total photo overload. I finally took some photos of the house this week, but the majority of them are taken at night so they're looking very dark and you can't see the pretty views out the windows. In the day time the house is lovely and light and bright, but this will give you a general idea of how it's looking (on the inside at least). MASTER BEDROOM My DH made the bedhead a few years ago, but our new bed is heaps higher than our old one so unfortunately a lot of the bedhead is covered by the bed. We're now looking for some matching marri bedside tables.

There's a big window behind the white blind (behind the sink).

We had to leave it open so the cabling could be done for the new TV. That's done now so over the next week DH will fill in the hole around the fireplace, then we can make the mantle, and finally choose something to put down as the hearth in front (haven't decided what though).
