Grand entrance

A little TLC for the front entrance - burning back the paint on the frame, a lick of paint, a new security door I designed to match the beautiful hand forged gate, a welcome mat, some chairs and plants - and it start to look like home.

Dining updates

Our dining room sees some changes for the better - lights, air- conditioning, a new side entrance and a new sun room door - all care of Darrell

Wired for light

Air conditioning - just in time for the heat wave

Bedroom Bliss

Our bedroom comes together, handles fitted to the built ins, mantel in, Mintaro slate hearth fitted, floor polished, walls painted, fan and light fitted (with a dimmer, no less) and windows complete.

We have a handle on it

Our gorgeous fireplace complete

Through the window

The finished product - gone with the aluminium windows, in with the wooden sash windows, on with the brass hardware and our beautiful linen blinds (with a special thanks to Letitia of The White Shed and Felicity of Linen Press Interiors)

Our new windows - undressed

Dressed

Roman blinds up and looking dashing

Master bedroom - waiting to be blinded

Voila

From seed to lawn

A bobcat to clear the land, a lot of labour on our part, some seeds, some mulch, some lawn feed and of course sun & a good watering and voila!

Our baby grass

And the rain

And more rain - on our front lawn

Moraya madness

Our grass

Oh - to be clean

Darrell has finished the bathroom, and it was cleaned by moi - now to take it for a test drive

Looking forward to a bubble bath

Shower time

Bring on hot water, and a 5 hob gas cooker!
