I'm so pleased with how it's coming together.<br />
<br />
We bought a shoe cabinet from IKEA to house some of our shoes.<br />
<br />
The ladder was a tip-shop find and the buckets were from Kmart - a bargain at $8 each.<br />

I was given the window earlier this year. It was a freebie, thrown in with the purchase of another window (which we used for our chook shed), but this one had a broken pane of glass. After cleaning it up and removing the broken glass I attached some chicken wire to the back of it so we can hang stuff on it.<br />

We put new handles (matching our kitchen handles) on the shoe cabinet and some number tags that I made (following the tutorial <a href="http://www.cantstopmakingthings.com/2010/07/french-enameled-numbers.html" target="_blank">here</a> - however, I used my vinyl cutter instead of stamping the tags).<br />

We had two spare cupboards that were replaced by the builder as they were damaged. I was happy that they left the doors with us because I knew that I'd use them for something one day. So we've made a key holder with one....<br />

We plan on buying an old church pew to finish off the mudroom, then we'll put up a coat rack over the pew. So now to keep an eye on eBay and Gumtree and hope the perfect pew comes up soon.<br />

</span>I painted the door in Annie Slone's Napoleonic Blue Chalk Paint. After applying wax I applied some dark wax to grunge it up a bit in the style of the Tenth Doctor's Tardis. I used my vinyl cutter to do the lettering and printed up a sign for the door, attaching it with drawing pins.<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />

I decided to make a light fitting using clothes pegs. I used some wire mesh left over from when we made the aviary. I bought a round wire ring from lincraft and attached the two together. Using a lampshade we cut off the top bit and welded it to the top of the fitting. Then it was simply a matter of putting the pegs on and using a batten fix pendant thingie to hang it up. I'm very pleased with how it looks.<br />

We used ecowood for the garden beds, a non-toxic treated pine. We lined the bottom of the beds with newspaper that got covered in a layer of straw, dirt and a mix of straw, chicken and alpaca poo went on the top. We've planted baby beets, broccoli, bok choy, celery, carrots, peas and herbs. </div>

One of the yarns that I really wanted to weave with was the Noro Yarn from Japan. It's blend of different yarns like silk, mohair and wool. I wove two scarves with Silk Garden Sock Yarn. The colours are beautiful. I'm currently weaving another scarf with this yarn for myself.<br />

Christmas Eve saw my family come to share our first Christmas dinner in our new home.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our old tree had died (ummmm - it was a fake one, but it died).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We considered buying a real tree this year, but saw some cool DIY Christmas trees on Pinterest so we headed bush (about 3kms away) and grabbed some *real* dead branches.</div>

I made up a faux fireplace. It's nice to have a focal point in our living room now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though there's no fire, the candles help provide a bit more of a cosy feel. And having Christmas in the middle of summer it makes sense not to have a fire raging in a fireplace at Christmas.<br />
We hope to put in a wood heater eventually, but this will do for now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day I might get around to boxing up the inside so it looks a bit better.</div>

We bought the handles from <a href="http://stores.ebay.com.au/Arcus-Design-Handles-and-Knobs?_trksid=p2047675.l2563" target="_blank">Arcus Design</a> on ebay. We had originally bought handles from Ikea, but decided that we'd prefer a brushed finish rather than the shiny finish so we returned them. The Ikea ones also had a funny back which would have been tricky to attach to the drawers. Really happy with how these have turned out!<br />

Now to get some pendant lights. Just gotta decide which ones we want... the glass ones are about half the price but I really love the hamptons style light - it will also be easier to keep clean. <a href="http://www.templeandwebster.com.au/temple-and-webster-presents-1/lamps-chandeliers-pendants/antique-silver-iron-hanging-lamp.html" target="_blank">Temple and Webster</a> have the hamptons one on special right now, so we need to decide asap. Time for some sweet talking I think ;-)<br />

Since the developers have everything ready to go for the NBN, Telstra won't put in the old fashioned copper cable so we can get internet and a home phone. So at the moment we are paying $$$ for wireless internet which is why I haven't posted any more pictures lately.<br />

It took a few weeks for these fellas to turn up. Thanks to the recent fires there was a back log of bins. For about four weeks we had our rubbish stacking up in our garage, some of our rubbish we were able to put in a friend's bin thankfully. Thanks to the rubbish that we had to store in our garage, we had to invest in some mouse traps. We have caught 19 mice so far in our garage. Half of which were caught in the first day! Two were caught in the one trap at the same time!!! Thankfully we think they're all gone now, the traps have been empty for almost two weeks now. </div>

I plan to take some pics soon of the inside of our house, now that it's mostly sorted. But they might have to wait for next months internet usage quota before I can upload them on to my blog...</div>

By the time they were doing the second lot of smoothing, the rain was pretty constant, not heavy, but enough to mess with the look of having smooth plain concrete.<br />
<br />
I joked with them that spotty concrete would just have to become the new trend. They told me that in weather like this they can't smooth the concrete properly so they would have to do exposed aggregate. He had had a mix of pebbles put in just incase the weather turned sour. So we now have beautiful exposed aggregate instead of plain concrete. So very blessed.<br />

Even though it is incredibly muddy now around our home, I'm not complaining, if it wasn't for the rain we'd just have plain concrete and a dry backyard, but thanks to the rain, we have lovely concrete and mud!<br />

We also got a quote for the concrete. Carpet layers returned and put on the trims. The window technician came around to have a look at the windows that aren't right. He'll have to come back again when our supervisor is there with Mark so they can explain the problem better than I could.<br />

We've ordered roller blinds for the boys' bedrooms (the darker solid colour sample) and transition blinds (the stripy samples) for the living, dining, bathrooms and laundry. <a href="http://www.blindsonline.com.au/transition-roller-blinds" target="_blank">Transition blinds</a> are a fairly new concept in window coverings (I sound like a sales person - LOL!), these ones are not block out, but will be great for privacy and filtering light. The darker brown will go in the theatre room with curtains. I bought the curtains for our bedroom, theatre, rumpus sliding door and family sliding door at Harris Scarfe. Rods are coming from <a href="http://www.blindsonline.com.au/" target="_blank">Blinds Online</a> (where we are getting the rollers and transitions from). Can't wait for the rods to arrive so we can get the curtains up.</div>

We were originally planning on putting plantation shutters in, but decided that we'd do the cheaper option at the moment, we can upgrade later to the shutters when the budget allows. I'd rather have our patio concreted than have plantation shutters through the house.</div>

Loving the vinyl. The plumbers all thought the floor was timber till I told them it was vinyl. I think they were impressed.</div>

All that remains is for the carpet layer to return to put on the trims. It looks fantastic. The layers of both the carpet and the vinyl were great. We are rapt with how it looks. Now we've got a big clean up job to do due to the concrete dust from the floor prep for the vinyl, I have to wait two days before I can mop the vinyl - can't remember the last time I looked forward to mopping!!!<br />

One problem that we have noticed is that our wind out windows are not quite right...<br />
<br />
The window is about 1/2cm wider across the middle than the top and the bottom. They still open and shut ok, but it can't be right for them to be out this much! In the photos you can see that the gap around the awning part of the window is much tighter across the centre than it is at the top and the bottom of the awning.<br />

So we've sent a message to our site supervisor and hopefully they'll be able to replace the windows - thankfully the frames are ok, its just the windows. There must have been some sort of glitch when they were being manufactured.Sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10849229212721710249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436831862551108373.post-39945641670497206992014-02-26T13:12:00.000+11:002014-02-26T14:12:31.107+11:00Floor coverings - sortedwell almost... just gotta sort out how to get the bank to release some money so we can put down a deposit on the flooring. The bank want an invoice from the carpet people and the carpet people say that the banks usually are happy with a quote. UGH! So Mark is going back and forth between the two and hopefully we can pay the deposit soon.<br />
<br />
We are getting our flooring done through Choices, one of the local carpet businesses. The quote they gave was less than the quote we got from Western Distributors (which we were quite surprised at!) with the same vinyl and same quality carpet and underlay, so we figured we'd go with the locals. Unfortunately they can't get the vinyl in till the end of March so we'll be vinyl-less till then. At least we will have the carpet done before we move in, the living areas won't have much that we'll need to move out to put the vinyl down.<br />
