Cabinetry and Painting Complete

It has been an uncharacteristically long time between blog posts for me. We haven't seen much of our house until today as we were away due to the passing of my beautiful pop. Without his help and many little handouts over the years we would not have been able to build our dream house. We took him on a trip out to the display homes last year, so he was at least able to see what the house will look like. 

We are creeping towards completion and the work seems to come in little bursts. Our tilers haven't been back to finish but the cabinet installer came back to install the kick boards, built in bin and handles. It's all looking very good. 

We have had the basin in our powder room installed and the others will go in with the stone bench tops next week. They did deliver a couple of extra Manooga basins by accident as the guys from Edstein Stone took our Caroma Basa ensuite basins to measure up. 

Painting is all done and it is such a great job. I couldn't praise Greg our painter any higher, he has been fantastic. The colour of the smooth pebble interior paint has actually muted down with a second coat which is good as it was looking very yellow against the grey ensuite tiles. I've also ordered our carpet and changed to bedroom to a more sandy tone which will hopefully match in.

The long awaited pull out bin!

                

Laundry under bench cabinets with handles. I found choosing handles really hard but I'm super happy with the hettich handles we chose.
