A little bit of tiling. A little bit of cabinetry.

Due to popular demand, here are some pics of the cabinetry, which landed and was installed at our place today.

Kitchen (sans benchtop and looking quite 'blah', really!)

Back wall of kitchen

Lift up door to appliance cupboard

So, you may have read previously that our builder wouldn't allow the gloss finish to the white cabinets.  We had decided that we'd just replace the drawer and door fronts later on.  However, it doesn't look as bad as I anticipated, so this job will fall out of the 'straight away' category and onto the 'to do later' list.

The tiler also got started today, and was really knowledgeable, and nice!

Ensuite shower floor

Laundry cabinet and floor tiles.  We didn't opt for stone in here, as most of the slab would have been cut out for the tub.

The floor tiles in the main bathroom, which were still being done as we were leaving this afternoon, were looking a little bit anaemic, but looking at the photo above, they look great once they meet up with the woodgrain cabinetry.  (Note: They are a bone colour, but look almost white in this pic)  I am also feeling quite confident given that the laundry cabinet is quite similar in colour to the main floor.

So, it really is starting to look like a real house!

The painter will start prepping on Friday, pending the completion of his current job.  Wow!  I can't wait to see the wall colour!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

The cabinetry was delayed last week, so it is now looking like a Monday/Tuesday job.  All the skirtings, archs and doors were done on Thursday and Friday, though.  It's starting to look like a real house.

Here are some pics...

Linen Cupboard shelving (with someone hiding inside!)

Pantry door

Pantry shelving.  To the right is a bare wall, which will house a little charging station and on the next adjacent wall will be space for the calendar and school notes etc.  It will be the organisational hub of the home, but totally hidden away.  Love!

More pantry shelving

Also, the mortar on the fancy bricks is looking better with each passing day.  The fact that the render is curing and lightening is also helping, as it is looking closer in depth to the colour that it will be painted.

So, Monday and Tuesday will bring a garage door and cabinetry.  The tiler will start on Wednesday.

I wonder if the painters are booked in for next week???

Have a fantastic week!

Rockin' the render

Thursday saw the renderers rockin' their work!  I drove past at 8:39am and they were literally nearly finished the job!  Granted, they were only required to do the front facade, but seriously, that's commitment.

No internal shots, as the chippie was still working when we did our afternoon drive-by.  Hopefully we'll be able to take share photos of KITCHEN CABINETRY!!!!!! in the next post!

Welcome to our newest followers, Lizzie and Nellie.  Welcome, ladies!

Stay dry, peeps!

PS: Pillars are looking better already.  Thanks for all your words of encouragement on the last post.
