Skirting and kick boards - Powder coated aluminium in Precious Silver Pearl. Kitchen cupboards - Laminex Charcoal. Kitchen benchtop - Staron Aspen Dew. As mentioned, window frames are Precious Silver Pea...

Wednesday, May 5, 2010. We Have Moved In. We are finally in our home with only the pictures to be hung and the inside would have been done. We can already fit one car in the garage and by the end of the week both cars will be locked away safe and warm, not a bad effort in a week. I would also like to acknowledge all ou...

All I need is the Certificat...

Below you will find some photos and for the first time they have all be taken from outside as we stuck by our vow not to enter the house. This is mainly to save any potential issues with the kids causing damage but ...

Our tiny Elfresco, which will be a nice place to store the kids toys and shoes come winter. Mr and Mrs B's Bedroom (with the sp...
