Kitchen and bathroom vanities - and much, much more!

Well, finally some progress. Sorry for no update last week peeps, but the only thing that was done was the cornices were installed. Not very exciting me thinks and did not warrant a blog.

This week, on the other hand, has been rather busy. The guys have been there all week putting the boards under the eaves etc. Think they will probably finish tomorrow (20th Nov).

Our gables and fineals have been fitted. Never fear! The timber will not be pink when it's all finished. It will match in with the roof tiles (monument).
Above the garage and under the front verandah.

The wet areas have been water proofed and internal doors are starting to go on. Skirting boards and architraves are starting to be installed. Tiles are delivered and should start laying any time now.

I love our pretty stripy doors and I am very glad that we upgraded to bigger skirtings and architraves.

The downpipes have been connected - slight problem with the ones where the patio is going to be. They shouldn't have been connected yet, so will have to be ripped out and repositioned. Some bricks that have been drilled into will also have to be replaced.

The kitchen has been installed. Looks so beautiful. Just the look we were going for, but with one slight problem - there is no space for the dishwasher - silly sausages! Some of the cupboards will need to be removed and redesigned.

Looking at the kitchen from the sunroom. Loving the horizontal woodgrain.

Above the fridge space.
The breakfast bar - sorry about the photos - it was too light to get a good one. All those windows are a curse, you know....hehehe.
The main part of the kitchen. The diswasher is supposed to go to the left of the cooktop so the four cupboards underneath will be ripped out and replaced with three and a dishwasher space.

The bathroom vanities have also been installed, with another slight problem in the ensuite. The sliding door does not fit with the vanity so it will have to be moved to the other side of the wall. This means that it will slightly cut in to our WIR shelving, but only about 10-15cm and we can live with that.
Close up of the vanity in the ensuite. For those that are interested we used Stipple Seal for the benchtops and Ebony Belezza for the cupboards.

So glad we went with the horizontal woodgrains. I think they look really effective. Thanks Papasan xoxo

Yipedy do dah!! Full steam ahead!
