Bathroom. Not the old one, the NEW one. | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/bathroom-not-the-old-one-the-new-one
It's our home. What are we doing here? Bathroom. Not the old one, the NEW one. 5 June, 2010. Posted by Kate Andrews in Whatever. Three years of the five of us sharing a teeny-tiny bathroom with just enough room for a shower, basin and toilet has got old. Especially now that two of the minors in the family are now Card-Carrying Teenagers. Dodgy iPhone photo of wall tiling in progress:. 18 April, 2011. What a clever idea to insulate the bath!

https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/veggie-beds
It's our home. What are we doing here? 16 April, 2011. Posted by Hamble Bamble in Garden. Today, we installed new veggie beds in the back yard. They had actually been sitting there for a week and a bit, but yesterday we started filling them with stuff. Today we finished. Here are some pics:. These are the plants we have:. Carrots: Roly Poly ball carrots, will be ready in 8-12 weeks. Pak Choy Mix: A mixture of Pak Choy and Bok Choy. Ready in 7-8 weeks. Wom Bok: Chinese cabbage. Ready in 6-8 weeks. You are...

It's our home. What are we doing here? 29 April, 2010. Posted by Kate Andrews in Dining. Adam The Painter and his boys have done a fantastic job of painting the inside of the extension, and then today the sanders managed to turn the dusty, grimy floor into the gleaming thing you see here…. Another (light) sand and another coat tomorrow, and it will dry to a lovely satin finish, like the rest of the house. Then we have to wait a week for it to cure before we move any heavy furniture out there. It’s ...

Sofa! | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/sofa
It's our home. What are we doing here? 5 June, 2010. Posted by Kate Andrews in Interiors. Mum and Dad did some shopping around for us (yes, I have the best parents), and gave us a call to let us know that Nick Scali had a huge sale on. We had a long list of things we wanted in our new sofa, but Mum was pretty sure that they had something that would fit the bill. Of course, she was right, and we ordered the following sofa in a charcoal leather, and it was Almost Half Price! Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Next batch of veggies | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/next-batch-of-veggies
It's our home. What are we doing here? Next batch of veggies. 28 August, 2011. Posted by Kate Andrews in Whatever. We harvested the last of our first batch of veggies just after we returned from our overseas trip. Today we’ve planted zucchini (yellow and green), rocket and four types of heirloom tomatoes. We’ve also got alfafa sprouts growing in the kitchen, and our next batch of yoghurt brewing. Not self-sufficient by any means, but enjoying eating what we grow and make whenever we can! We also live here.

Outside colours | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/outside-colours
It's our home. What are we doing here? 2 May, 2010. Posted by Kate Andrews in Extensions. We have a couple of considerations in choosing the main wall colour…. We want the woodwork (window frames, door-jambs etc.) to be the same colour on the outside as the inside – Antique White USA, so the wall colour had to work well with that, which pretty much ruled out creamy, golden colours. Anyway… we’ve come up with the following combo. All Dulux colours. 8220;Salty Seeds”? Who comes up with these names? It look...

Landscaping | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/landscaping
It's our home. What are we doing here? 5 June, 2010. Posted by Kate Andrews in Deck. So Where were we? So much has happened in the weeks since our last update, so I’ll try and get you all caught up with these next few entries. First (and only because we’ve been talking about it all day) – the paved area outside the back door. We want to have a retaining wall around the BBQ area with a nice smooth cap on top for people to sit on, and paving that vaguely matches. Nice and smooth for sensitive butts. You ar...

Sketchup | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/sketchup
It's our home. What are we doing here? 9 June, 2010. Posted by Kate Andrews in Bathroom. I finally found an excuse to learn how to use Google Sketchup. Here is the diagram I’ve sent out to three stonemasons for a quote on the bathroom benchtop:. 9 June, 2010. Kt - 9 June, 2010. In “White Snow” 20mm Caesarstone. It marks less than marble. And is more cost-effective. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Address never made public).

Starting on the garden | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/starting-on-the-garden
It's our home. What are we doing here? Starting on the garden. 7 May, 2011. Posted by Kate Andrews in Garden. We had soft-leaf buffalo lawn laid this week, in the wasteland that was our front yard (it didn’t fare well in the renovations). The curved edges have created three new garden beds where once there were none! We had lawn laid in the backyard too – photos to come. No comments yet — be the first. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Autumn veg | our place
https://ournewplace.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/autumn-veg
It's our home. What are we doing here? 25 April, 2015. Posted by Kate Andrews in Garden. Last Sunday, before the big storms hit on Monday, we planted a new batch of veggies for Autumn/Winter. Broccolini (two types), sprig onions, baby beetroots, and spinach. The beds still have Five chilli plants between them, and oregano, sage and thyme as well. We may try and squeeze in a couple of dwarf beans from seed if we can find a spare space. No comments yet — be the first. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
