Bathroom Feature Tiles!

Today we went up the block, to check out the tiling! Cameron seems pretty pleased with the feature wall in his room! :)

The Heated towel rails, mirror demisters and the controls were left in the Butler's pantry a few days ago, and here are some pics



The tilers are doing a great job and moving through the house quite quickly! Hallway!

Tiles!

This morning, I had to be up before the crack of dawn... not impressed let me tell you! Morning and myself, are not a happy combination!!!

We met the foreman on site, to discuss concreting, and excavation of the site, once the house is complete! Looks like we might be able to have an extra concrete pad outside of our bedroom thats within our budget!!! SO fingers crossed that, that actually happens!!

The underfloor heating was put in on Wednesday, when the guy did the shower and bathroom waterproofing.


Mike and I went into the house, and the tilers had laid a lot of the tiles on the floor. Its starting to look quite good!

Here is what the place looked like when we got there this morning as dawn was breaking....

Kitchen and Walls!

Went up to the house today, and Lauren's wall has been redone in the pink it should be.... here is the before shot


and after... MUCH nicer colour!!! :)

There was a guy at the house, and he was waterproofing the bathrooms.

The Tiles had been delivered and stacked in the garage. I have to go back up there tomorrow and give the Tiler the feature tiles for the bathrooms still...

And here are some pics of the kitchen, with the caesarstone bench top!



Butlers sink in the main kitchen area

Caesarstone bench!

As we all know, I went up to the house today, to have a talk with the painter about the pink room.... he was most unhappy that the person who mixed the paint, mixed the wrong colour :| He is going to be back at the house tomorrow, to paint it the right colour pink, so that is great!

To my surprise, the Kitchen people were back and had installed the Caesarstone Bench top in the main kitchen area, so here is the one and only pic! lol

A Rainbow of Colours!

Mike and I went out to the block this morning... and what a lovely day for it *sarcasm*.... rain, rain, and then a bit more rain! At least we don't have anymore flooding problems up at the block, so we should be grateful for that!

I have been a bit worried about the colour of the paints for the feature walls in most of the rooms, and on arriving at the house this morning, I am quite happy with all the paint colours in the rooms, except for Lauren's room.... the shocking pink, has taken on more of an orange tone, so I am NOT very happy about that :( I am pretty sure, it is not even the same colour as the sample colours, so I am thinking that someone got it wrong, when they mixed the paint for the painter :( I will take a sample and check it out on Monday though, as the painters will still be there on Monday.

So here we go.......

Our favourite room, the Formal Lounge, this was one of the colours, I wasn't convinced that I had chosen the right colour, but on seeing it up on the wall, and it extending out into the rolling hills, I have chosen the right colour! *phew* So here it is......

Britt's room's feature wall colour is looking good...

and so is Cameron's....

Lauren's room, looks this orangey pink....
and should look more like the pink in this room..... from the Resene website... (and as you can see, there is a HUGE difference in the colours) :(

The spare room (hopefully oneday will be a nursery, but we call it the guest room for now) is a nice bright sunny yellow colour, called Smiles!...

I am also really happy with the colour in our bedroom, I also thought that might be too dark, but its come up looking really nice and will go beautifully with the curtains we have picked out...

This is the hallway from our ensuite looking back to the master bedroom....

The Bathroom is looking good with a lick of paint in it! and the bottom of the shower has been prepared for tiling and I am getting closer and closer to using my spa bath!!! :D

The Butler's Pantry is also a lot lighter and brighter with the walls painted!

And also the main living area is looking great also...


Handover is down for September 1st, so we have only 25 more sleeps until we get the keys!! YIPPEEEE!!!!!!! The countdown is on!!!!! :D

Curtains...

It seems a long time between blogging, but there hasnt been much of an update for you all on the house, it seems to be taking 2 1/2 long weeks to paint our house interior... I guess that is what we get for having such a big house!

The painters are doing such a great job, and the rooms they have completed look awesome. None of the feature walls had been done when I was up there yesterday.

We have finally done our curtains, which should be ready to go into the house around about the same time we are going in! If not, looks like we may just have some sheets up on windows for a little while :D

In the bedrooms we are having Roman Blinds. There was many an argument at the weekend about colours in two of the kids rooms.... and they seemed to have won the battle there.

So the Roman blinds and curtains will look like this:


The particular type of curtain we have in our bedroom, living areas and for Lauren's blind are like this, they are called Seville:

We are having the Dutch Pleat for the curtains.

In the Kitchen we are having Wooden Blinds

The colours for the main living area of the house are earth tones. And thats all I have to tell you right now!! :D
