I don't have any huge progress shots of the house extensions at the moment - mainly because we are up to lots of little time-consuming steps.

But we are seeing the end.. inside is so close now, just waiting on us to get the painting finished - oh my god puttying nail holes in skirting boards and architraves can take a long time!

The tiling in the living room is finished and we have a deposit down on our carpet, we are just holding off for the painting and for the bathroom shower screen to be installed so that the tradies aren't trooping in over the new carpet..

It is a long story about the tiles but our existing tiles are a size that they don't make anymore and we couldn't match the exact colour. So we picked a dividing stone feature strip that had both the tile colours in it and went with a lovely creamy tile that suits our new paint colours.

Original tiles in house on bottom and new on top, dividing strip in between.


Tiles against the extension paint colours.



Walk in robe - the quote included two lots of shelves and hanging rails so we had the builder put them both in one side, so that we can fill the other side with modular built in cupboards etc.



The bathrom with the completed and painted cornice, still awaiting shower screen, shower shelf and towel rail.


Next update will show the new wrap around verandahs that we had concrete poured yesterday, a completed painted interior and hopefully some more painting on the deck and ceilings outside...

I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
