I'm baaack!

That is the nest our local black bird carefully made in the corner of our reno. That gives you some idea of just how slow it’s been here. We’ve had a good 6 weeks of too much work and not enough progress. We were messed around by a two faced brickie who just flaked out and a lazy sparky who couldn’t quote to save his life. This put us about 3 weeks behind.

I was given the task of moving the nest filled with the most beautiful eggs I’ve ever seen. I was devastated to see they didn’t survive the trip. :( But everyone keeps telling me to get over it as they were just black birds… but… :(

Also, the dishwasher died, so we are doing dishes by hand for the next month until we can get the new (a very painful way of getting rid of $1000) dishwasher into the new kitchen space.

However! We now have a floor, temporary, but good.

I just adore the light in this room, especially in the afternoon. So lovely.

The kids are enjoying the new found room too.

Also, you don’t even want to know why this image below has been part of my life. (old laundry loo, or one half, waiting for plumber)

Oh, and we now have the laundry bricked up and ready. The window and door in. (The window to the right is in the dining room.) Looks great in there, haven’t figure out how to take a good shot of it yet, it’s too small.

It’s all moving again soon and I’ll post some more images. I’ve had masses of work (two books) with Opera SA to get done and a huge project with Paul, it’s all died down for now, so more updates will happen. Promise.

Bedroom perfection

The last month has been difficult, and slow. More on that later. For now. Look at this most lovely bed room. This is what I want to do in ours. A small desk at my side and a chest at Paul’s, both at the same height. Matching everything else means it works. And so pretty and warm and quirky and very very usable. 

Love it.
