finally, some more progress

Theo moved our kitchen and we've now settled in to temporary kitchen v2. I actually like it better than temporary kitchen v1.

Our old kitchen has been emptied out and is about to become a construction zone and eventually a laundry and bathroom. In the meantime it's been serving as a space to test paint colours, as has the ailing back door of the house and the metal on the back shed.

Rahul has chopped down the frangipane tree in the backyard to make way for our extension.

We finally had the blinds installed in our bedroom and spare room.

I'm very pleased with how they look (and with the additional darkness and therefore better quality sleep that now takes place in our bedroom!)

  1. All this progress is worthy of several blog posts!
    I love the blinds in the spare room.
    It must be very satisfying to see some progress!

  2. The spare room blinds were an impromptu purchase but a good one, I'm getting a bit of a tropical/safari vibe going in there!!

  6. If you played a kind of scissors/paper/rock involving renovations kitchen beats frangipani.

    @loohire - did you take a good look at all the 'before' shots? :)

  7. yep, agreed, i've come to terms with it, particularly after Rahul's observation that the tree for most of the year is looks like an ugly stump.. An yes, your new kitchen is going to be just amazing XXXX
