Mirrors, and Screens, and Paint...

...Oh My!


This past week has seen more of the final finishes go in.

First we had mirrors, and shower screens.

Then we had the vinyl linen sliding doors.

And lastly the first coat of the paint on the walls has gone on.

The colour is slightly darker than we anticipated but we really like it. It looks different in different areas of the house, and at different times of the day, and has a nice depth to it. It will look different again with furniture in the house, I'm sure!


Another little purchase for the house this week too. Bar stools like these, except white. Now we will have plenty of seating to entertain, and will actually be able to invite people over - something we've missed being able to do regularly in our current little unit. 


We did have another little hiccup, that the husband picked up. The electricians had run the cable from the dome to the meterbox, and only ran single phase instead of the three phase we had upgraded to. A quick call to the builder to let them know sorted that out, although the electricians were cheeky and told the builder that we were wrong and it had been run correctly, and must have rushed out there to re-run the cable, as when we went out the next day after work to check it was corrected and the builder had called me to tell me it was definitely run in three phase. Little did they know we had taken photos confirming their error! Not a biggie, as it was sorted quickly, but it just astounds us that they could be so shady! 

We are still working to the mid-August key handover date, but by the time we get our floors tiled, carpets in the bedrooms & theatre, blinds installed and wardrobe fit-out completed, it will be closer to mid-September which is a bit frustrating, but we can't do much about it. 

Until next time!
