Inside Barry has been busy putting down all the floor coverings while outside the concreters have been hard at work pouring the slabs for the alfresco area, porch, carport and front veranda.
We decided to go for tinted concrete and chose a dark charcoal similar to the roof colour. Although at the moment while we are surrounded by so much dirt and therefore dust it is showing up every footprint, I am hoping that once we get some turf down this should be significantly improved.

The dark floor in the kitchen, dining, halls etc had worked out so well. In such a large open space with so much white the darker colour has offered a welcome contrast while matching the Hamptons style perfectly. We did apparently break all the rules when deciding which way to run the planks. Instead of running them lengthways down the halls we decided to do the opposite making the planks run lengthways as you walk in the front door and I'm glad we did despite the rules. They're there to be broken anyway, aren't they?
