The building is finished!

Wow! It's been a while since I last updated our renovation photos...it's been very hectic with painting, painting and more painting. There's stuff everywhere so the house isn't quite sorted out (as far as decor goes), but these photos will give you an idea of how the place looks now.



The builder has officially finished his part of our renovation but we still have quite a bit of painting to do - especially on the outside, and landscaping the back area...and the front too. The kitchen is finished, but a couple of doors are yet to come back with scratches fixed, and today we'll be painting and shifting furniture back to where it should go.

Our front door needs just one more coat of varnish - but I'm loving the look of it, it's a real feature to the front of the house. We had to clear everything out of the rooms with wooden flooring as the floors were sanded back and relacquered. They're looking great, and are very shiny and new!

The carpet is down, but is now covered with furniture and floor drapes to protect it from the paint etc...Unfortunately, it already has had a mishap and hopefully the watermarks will diminish over time :(.

The inside is almost finished, outside to be done, and refurnishing is next. Now that should be fun (I hope). I must admit I'm getting tired of making decisions all the time: colours, materials, handles, styles etc...but it's looking pretty good on the inside now. We might need to hire a painter for the outside!
