home sweet home

At last, some photos of our home.  It is still very much a work-in-progress but we are feeling at home and comfortable.  It helped to have Rob off work for two weeks to tick off the long DIY list and now it's a matter of waiting for dry days to paint the last window frames and external walls.  There are still pictures to hang and small detail to work on.

Yesterday the foundations for the garage were cemented in and the laundry walls were bricked up so there is progress.  I hope to have a workable laundry and new en suite bathroom by the end of July.

  The entrance is off to the left and the kitchen is on the right

Our kitchen and dining area - all very open plan

Separate TV lounge and playroom for messing and quiet!

We installed a beautiful wood burning freestanding fireplace to warm the whole open plan living area and it is just divine.  I am still not an expert at building a fire but the boys are improving so soon I won't have to be involved at all.  The space works well for entertaining and the TV lounge has frosted glass sliding doors to close it off from the rest of the house.  It's a warm and friendly home and we are proud of how it has all turned out.

So when are you coming to visit us?
