Week 29...

So much more tiling this week and I am now totally head over heels in love with our kitchen splash back.

Grouting not quite finished but the cabinetry is looking the goods.

And as you can see the rangehood has been fitted too.

And finally after so many times of going back and forwards we decided on and ordered a dining table.

Bordeaux Dining Table 300 x 100cm

The table is made from reclaimed Elm that is over 100 years old, which has been bleached, repaired, polished and then waxed to give it a lovely rustic finish which perfectly suits our beachy style.

To go with the table we've ordered 10 of these Ashley Dining Chairs.

We're still on the hunt for bar stools which is proving harder than I had thought. We need three to sit at the island bench, they don't need to perfectly match the dining chairs but they will be in close proximity so they will need to have some similarities. But most of all I want them to be comfortable.

Just waiting on some fabric samples to see if any of these will work.

Week 28...

Ok so I've been super slack again (sorry) but I guess this whole growing a human thing has been distracting me.

However, despite my lack of recent posts progress has been happening on site.

The floors have all been finished now including the most gorgeous carpet in the lounge room.

Foss carpet from from Carpet World

We splurged a little on the carpet in this room knowing that we will actually spend time sitting/laying on it (and we have already). I love the fact that it has the beachy look of sisal but is OHHH SO SOFT!!

We also moved the pool table into place this week so the electrician could make sure that the light was exactly centered. Loving the filament globes.

And tiles. They finally started the tiles!!!!!
